First, I would like to say, I got these super cheap at $190. Now, onto the review.NOISE CANCELLING If you have ever tried noise cancelling headphones these are better. You can hear nothing but others voices very lightly, and nothing while music is playing. The feature which allows you to tune out music and tune in voices is outstanding and executed perfectly. Especially as a student, it enables you to be peaceful in class, but still be in contact with others. The ambient noise feature works, but still lets in a lot of voice and isn't really useful (What do you want to do? Listen to birds?). Anyway, the noise cancelling feature is most likely the best on the headset.COMFORT AND STYLEI haven't had any comfort issues. I do definitely think they feel a little heavy, and wearing them for over 3 hours would be uncomfortable. The ear cushion is plush and made of fake leather. It is soft enough and there is a fair amount of separation of the ear to the driver. The headband is made of the same material as the ear cushion and provides a fair amount of support to your head. The headphones look fine, and are designed well. I am unsure about the strange shape of the ear cups. Everything else is great.SOUNDThese headphones sound great and are definitely comparable to the sound of beats or other high quality brands. They have a crystal clear sound with deep bass and crisp treble. I do also think it isn't that impressive for headphones that ran for 400$. They do sound good though, so no other complaints.TECHThe touch controls work, but the play/pause control takes a couple times to register, and the same with other gestures but less often. I like the controls more on the Venstar S209s, which I recommend for a cheap, but amazing 50$ pair of wireless headphones. These ones fail and get things wrong too often. I think it is great that Sony included NFC which is really helpful for me. Changing devices is hard though, as others have complain. As for battery I think Sony nailed it. 20 hrs with ANC, and 26 hrs without. 34 hrs standby with ANC and 120 hrs without. 1 hr charge = 6 hours playback. Not bad. I know the Sony 1000xm2s have 10 hrs more, but this is enough for me.VERDICTThis is a damn good pair of headphones. Buy them. Every dollar was worth it. I've owned some pretty expensive headphones, these are the best. I wish you all the best of luck in finding the right pair of headphones.
