Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had about 8 or 9 different high end headphones over the last 5 years. These are awesome for a few reasons: WEIGHT: Really lightweight. They are much much lighter than most of my other headphones. This means they are comfortable on your head for many hours, and don't add much weight to your bag when you're carrying them around. Cannot overemphasize how comfortable they are. SOUND: Very full and rich sound. They are not officially "noise blocking" but the earcups are very solidly built and I can barely hear any ambient sound when they're on. They might not be as nuanced as some $300+ headphones but they are absolutely great. COMFORT: Ear cup material is very soft and comfortable. They don't press into the side of your head, nor do they slip around. I cannot believe how comfortable they are. USABILITY: I'm always forgetting to charge my noise-cancelling headphones and never seem to have enough batteries. It's such a pain to have one more thing to charge and maintain, and these do not require anything of the sort. You never have to wonder if your headphones will die in the middle of a flight or during a workday. All in all: there are higher-end headphones out there, so if you're a huge audiophile geek, you might want to look around a bit. While I'm not an audiophile, I am very particular about sound and ambient noise, and these absolutely fit the bill. They are the most comfortable headphones I own and are -- HANDS DOWN -- my new favorites. These would also make a great gift!
