I've made several calls with it and it seems to pick up background noise more than a phone but my voice comes across clearly still

I would not recommend talking to someone w the microphone though, unless you are somewhere without any background noise.

They block out background noise and sound great while doing it

I was on a conference call and it seemed to amplify background noise and distort it.

Comfortable, music is crisp, totally drowns out any background noise

These headphones completely cut off background noises.

Drowns out any and all background noise

Works great for me and eliminates the office background noise while I'm reading.

I recommend this for anyone starting out, as well as those who don't care about a flashy "B" on the side of their headphones

I have a pair of ath m50x which are considered by many to be the best sounding headphones under 500 dollars, these don't sound as good as

Worth every penny because they work as they should.

They have never failed me as of yet

Lower frequency (base) cutoff is not as good as

Even with Bluetooth 4.0 the audio transmission is still not as good as with the micro usb cable or standard aux

I bought these headphones hoping I would be able to hear the phone ring as I quite often missed calls
