Superb in the basics, average…

UNPACKING - On opening the carry case, I was impressed by the compact design of the headphones and the visual style of the headphones. clearly they have been designed to look good and be compact for transport.
HANDLING - Handling resulted in some disappointment for me, these creaked, groaned and clacked as I unfolded and handled them, given the headphones style and brand, I expected a bit more refinement, unfortunately they just felt cheap and very creaky plastic did not help with that , however, from a design standpoint they do look good.
WEARING - These felt great on my head, they were light, gave a good head grip and were very comfortable on the ears from the pressure they applied, the padding on the earmuffs was soft but not quite wide enough to not trap my ears.
APP - The app detected the headphones as soon as i paired them , it was quick simple and easy to modify the settings of them, but i have to admit disappointment in how light the feature set of the app was , the lack of an equalizer that can be stored on the headphones internal memory and mediocre "smart" capability made the app somewhat pointless.
SOUND QUALITY - Given the purpose of this product to be comfortable and "quiet", they meet this purpose in the sense that they aren't particularly loud, however, as a media consuming device, they do have decent sound quality on par with my midlevel quality in-ear headphones, however, the lack of a suitable equalizer doesn't help for tuning to my preference.
NOISE CANCELLING - A huge disappointment, I have a generic pair of headphones that is almost identical to this pair in design and feature set which performs on par with these, I am truly disappointed by noise suppression which given the marketing, is one of the primary selling points of these headphones.
CONCLUSION - if you want comfort and decent sound quality, these definitely will meet your needs.
If you want value for money, these are most certainly not recommended.
Given the disappointing quality, I think the pricetag is brand influenced, not justified by the product quality or feature set.
