Expert Verdict
I've worn these on three 14-hour flights, and they are the only reason I stayed sane. The noise cancellation is so scary-good that I actually missed the food service twice because I couldn't hear the cart. They don't fold as well as the older ones, but the sound quality and comfort are worth the extra bag space.
Who It's For
Travelers and office workers who need to disappear into their music and block out the world.
The Pros
- The best noise cancellation in the game, period
- Extremely light and don't hurt my ears
- Fast charging is a lifesaver
The Cons
- Doesn't fold small anymore
- The price is steep if you aren't a frequent traveler

Are they waterproof?
No. Don't wear them in the rain. I've seen too many people ruin their $400 headphones this way.
