I picked up this pair of headphones, and have been very happy with them. Setup is easy, for both my phone and laptop. It's also nice that they fold up for travel. Would purchase again!

Love these headphones. Every feature brilliant. I recharge for a few minutes (when I'm in the middle of a podcast and just have to listen to the end) and it's almost 100% charged. Amazing. Sound is clear and rousing.

I may be a little bit unusual in having both these and the Sony XM4s, but to me these feel a bit lacking in terms of sound quality - nothing feels quite as 'alive' and punchy as it does with the XM4s. On the other hand, the sound isn't bad, and the noise cancelling is excellent.
