comment
" ...  I haven't tried more expensive noise cancelling headphones, but these worked so well for me that I wouldn't bother spending more. ... The noise cancellation works well, and can be used with or without playing audio through the headphones. ... You won't be sitting in perfect silence when the noise cancellation is turned on, but I found it reduced the background noise on a plane to be close to the level of a normal air-conditioned office environment.  ...  "

" ...  I have owned Bose, Sony & Sennheiser (flat sound engineer) models in the past ... I turned ANC off again and decided to try some music (Clean Bandit, as I know it is rich with good bass and clear vocals). ... It is geared toward bass, but not extreme and the mid and high are still outstanding.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They have a pretty good bass response, it's actually easy to overshoot with EQ. ... Using my default EQ on media player, with just a hint of bass boost, and the sound is great for me across a variety of music genres, podcasts, radio, movies, etc.  ...  "

comment
" ...  These are great, no pain, and this has to do with the size of the padding they on them. ... - The top of the headband should have more padding.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Build quality is pretty standard, which is to say fairly good. ... The folding hinge mechanism is very well made, you can tell this won't break any time soon. ... Otherwise, the design is fairly attractive, simple and not too bulky on the head. ... I'd also liked to have seen a bit more padding on the headband since these aren't particularly light and will cause a little bit of soreness at the top of the head after a few hours of listening.  ...  "

comment
" ...  They adjust easily to fit the size of your head, I have a very small head and they fit me fine so obviously, I have them on the smallest setting. ... I like them, they are clear and concise and they stay in place while you're walking along and even when you're banging your head to certain songs (not that I do that walking down the street of course or at least I hope I don't!!!)  ...  "
comment
" ...  - If you have big ears (like me) then you will find that although the headphones fit nicely and they do not hurt because of the soft protein leather and the memory foam, they will sit on your ear lobes.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The headphones fit well over yours and they are really light the also the padding is extremely soft.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They do have hinges to fold them, which usually is the weakest point in some headphones, however I believe these are made with that in mind, as the hinges are actually of good enough quality that I don’t feel they could snap easily.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It’s difficult to explain but basically the overall colour is a nice space grey with a side view picture of the headphones ear piece. ... Inside the headphones are held in place with some basic black plastic packaging but don’t worry because it well and truly keeps them nice and secure. ... On each side of the headphones is the Taotronics logo featured in a matt silver design which fits in nicely to the overall black and silver colour scheme.  ...  "

comment

The buttons are tactile and offer a nice, distinctive click when pressed . ... The ANC switch isn't particularly tactile either, I would have preferred a button to a switch here.  ...  "
comment
" ...  All the controls and auxiliary inputs are housed on one single earpiece which I actually prefer as for me personally on most other headphones that I’ve had over the years the buttons can be scattered around all over the place making it quite cumbersome to use but with these it’s nice and simple so goodbye are the days in trying to find the right button to maybe turn up the volume or answer a call.  ...  "
