You can also use the headphones turned off in wired mode for passive noise isolation

The noise isolation and cancelling are amazing, even on a crowded and loud train.

It sits well on your head and has good passive noise isolation.

so I needed something with a bit more noise isolation

It's not just the high quality sound and noise cancelling, but the noise isolation and hefty high quality feel of the entire headphone.

I travel frequently and have found that for maximum noise isolation, Etymotic in-ear headphones with comply foam tips beat any over-ear headphone I have tried.. if you can deal with getting the wires caught and ear piece yanked from your ear hole!!

Some fault the B&O for having finnicky touch controls; these have no touch controls and only 2 buttons: on/off, vol up/down

In terms of high-quality plastics mixed with metal bones, they are more a peer to the less expensive Bose and Sony; the B&O clearly wins in build and material quality

so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I

Having an amplifier in advance also helps because l did get more out of this headphone(l don't recommand buying a amp just for this headphone because it's not worth it).

The noise cancellation is okay, but nowhere near the levels of the Bose QC35 or Sony WH1000.Overall there's much better options for this price that sound almost as good, or even better.

The mid-bass hump I experienced in passive wired mode was completely gone and smoothed out as soon as you enter active mode

These are every bit as good as I'd hoped they would be

these headphones sound almost as good as my wired B&O H6 2nd Gen headphones

It's not as good on these as on any of their competitors, but it doesn't suck

Comfortable to wear for 8+ hours on flights or when working as long as you adjust the cups properly and don't have them putting pressure on your ear

However, they don't sound nearly as good as the Sennheisers and also will leave your scalp in a world of pain after 30 minutes.

The earcups aren't as soft as on other products though, and for an over-ear the cups are surprisingly small, so if you have huge ears you may want to try these before you buy

So if you're buying them because they sound better than the Bose, don't bother as they are larger and won't play high quality files

I have also noticed that the noise cancelling does not seem to be as effective as with the 550s, but I do not notice as much wind buffeting.

The noise cancellation is not as great as I would have hoped, but much better than my last pair of headphones which were "on ear" and did not really block anything.

Those who prefer a warm, focused, bass-forward sound will prefer the Sonys

n’t had any issues chagring other than trying to decipher the LED indicator color meanings, but after quick consult of the Sennheiser website and instruction

so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
