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.
Either way, they leak a lot of sound.
