Ear hurts, Poor ergo design, Awful voice call
I will make myself simple here. Three problems :
1. Ear hurts with noise cancellation.
Literally, noise cancellation annoyingly hurts ears - like you're in airplane. Not just feeling muffled, but pressure cause pain. This gets a bit alleviated when music plays, but eventually so much fatigue to your ear. No no no.
2. Ear pads / housing doesn't rotate 90 degrees.
Depends on which direction. When I want to remove the headphone from my ears and just put around my neck, I want the ear pads to turn 90 degrees so that they touch my chest 100%, because the ear pads are too bulky - feels like a huge muffler around your neck. But it just rotates about 80 degrees or so. It does rotate 90 degrees the other way, e.g. ear pad facing outwards from your chest. But then the caps gets scratched by zippers or other metal parts on my jacket.
3. Awful phone call quality
Noise cancellation on mic just cancels background noise, not the voice frequency components. Otherwise, my voice will be cancelled as well. But that eventually ends up other vocal noise from nearby ppl, etc. are well heard by the other party. This is terrible for conference calls or phone calls.
Don't buy this.
