Pros: OK noise cancellation, nice carry-on pouch, decent sound Cons: Cheap plastic feel of the earbuds, horrible noise from cell phones interference -- the noise cancellation circuit picks all the cell phone-to-tower transmission bursts (the buzz sound you hear when you place your cell phone close to a speakerphone) Summary: Works OK with iPods and other sources. If you don't use your phone as music device you may be OK with these headphones. But if you do, save yourself the trouble and don't buy these - go with a Bose or a Sony, that as far as I can tell, don't have this problem
