I've had a pair of these for about a year and i would definitely recommend them. They are very durable and the long cord is very nice to have at most times. The sound quality is very balanced and accurate. However i would not say they are the best for on the go. The long cord can get in the way and they don't cancel any outside noise.
JusticeHawk123While they do not actively cancel noise, out of the 3 other closed headphones(k553 is my 4th) I've owned they quiet outside noise better than at least 2 of the others. Its not a substantial reduction but definitely noticeable and probably similar to a lot of closed, not active noise canceling cans in this category. Also, unless cranked past comfortable volume they barely leak any sound. I do agree with the cable.
