Given the price of these headphones and the experience so far I was absolutely certain I had to return them. Surprisingly, all of the rave reviews are actually true. I've had it for over a week now and after about 10 hours of use the battery is still 80% charged. The sound quality is so good that I have to keep the volume very low or it overwhelms my sensitive ears. (I'm fully aware that my ears are so sensitive that the headphones hurt me because the sound going straight into my ears is too loud that others wouldn't need to turn the volume down that low in these headphones.) amazing . I've had other headphones in this price range and ANC didn't exist, they worked so well that the person I live with was sitting about 3ft from me and I could barely hear them. No music or other sounds, just ANC. Ambient ANC lets you still hear people's conversations and other ambient sounds when you want everything to be muted, while still being able to hear what's going on around you. Even without active active noise cancellation, the sound is rather muffled due to the thick ear pads. My ears are so small that they fit right inside the earcups, so I don't really need ANC. They are easy to connect and come with a charging cable, an extra cable for wired use and an airplane adapter. They fold up for easy storage when not in use, have a faux leather storage pouch and easy to follow instructions. There are a couple of things I would change if I could: The earbuds are a little heavy and fit very snugly on the head. It's not uncomfortable overall (even after a few hours), but it does mean I can't use ANC if I have a headache (one of the reasons I wanted ANC). So if you have a sensitive head and are concerned about heavier headphones, or are looking for headphones specifically for migraines or other headaches, these may not be the ones for you. The charging cable is ridiculously short. It is no longer than 6 inches from end to end. So if you want to use the included cord, you'll need to charge it with a plug directly above the counter or table, unless you want it on the floor. The good thing is they charge via a standard mini USB so my tablet cable will work and give me the length to plug them into a standard wall outlet that has one of my USB wall adapters in it and on a desk next to it instead of sitting on the floor Finally, while the instructions are easy to understand, they are printed at the same time with all the language options on the pages, rather than having a separate version for each language in a thicker booklet. I'm sure this was done to to save on printing costs This is understandable, but makes it a bit difficult to select the right information on a page with three different languages printed in the same place. Just take it, you won't regret it.
