" ... The sound is clear and the drivers do a very good job at noise cancellation. ... "
" ... This headset's noise cancelling technology is superb, and it's built in (no having to pay an extra $20 for the noise cancelling mic, looking at you turtle beach elite pro). ... In terms of appearance, they remind me strongly of studio-grade headphones because of the bulky design of the ear cushions and noise cancellation. ... "
