Probably the best headphones yet.
These headphones do the job and exceed my expectations. Insane bass that you can hear that subwoofers can't produce. My friend would be talking and pointing gestures at me and I would not know what the language is. Probably the best headphones and doesn't even weigh a pound it feels like.

Somehow, the Ballad of Jed Clampett comes to mind, as I start to write this. You know, the Beverly Hillbillies. He was living his life, struck gold, and everything changed. That's kind of what happened here. Except I didn't strike gold or become rich. Yeah, the metaphor doesn't exactly work.
Pros:
- Very light
- portable
- built in EQ/NC function
Cons:
- Expensive for what they are
- require a battery

Near Equal to the "High Price Brand"
These headphones are great and as far as I can tell are equal to the "high price brand". Great sound and comfortable to wear. The "high price brand" also cost about 5 times more than these.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Compact
- Good Bass
- Lightweight
- Rich Sound

Sony MDR-NC40
These comfortable cups won't stay on when exercising. Instead, they're designed for long journeys. With the noise-cancelling feature turned on outside noise is blocked well, but the delivery suffers from woolly bass and unexciting treble. With it turned off they sound relatively lifeless.
Pros:
- Noise-cancelling works well
Cons:
- Woolly bass and unexciting treble
- Lifeless sound when noise-cancelling is turned off

Sony MDR-NC40
Like Sony's in-ear MDR-NC22 noise-canceling earphones, the new MDR-NC40's best feature is its price: Both pairs are only $100. The MDR-NC40 isn't an in-ear model but a supra-aural set of headphones, meaning that they sit on the ears without creating a seal.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Compact, collapsible design
- Decent noise cancellation
- Enjoyable audio performance with solid bass performance
Cons:
- Takes a standard AAA battery instead of a rechargeable cell
- Battery pack is in the middle of the headphone cable
