I have had these since their introduction in May, 2017. Paid the $549 and am not thrilled to see them at this price. Here's what you should know. They charge with a micro USB cable, but for some reason A-T made the connector just a bit smaller than the usual - I think they want purchasers to use the supplied cable only. Some reviewers have reported being able to use third-party cables. I managed to break the cable but received a free replacement from A-T under warranty. Service from A-T was excellent. The supplied accessories are the cable and a nice case. As they only accept digital signals, they do not work with the airplane systems that I have experienced. I suppose you could plug a small analog to digital converter into the plane audio to get a digital out, or stream from the plane system to your device if you were that determined. You can listen wired from a laptop using USB. Overall, I do not recommend them for use on a plane. The comfort and sound quality are excellent - very neutral. Not for bassheads or for people who like their music super loud. I would recommed for lovers of acoustic jazz and/or classical. Good for well produced rock - e.g. Mark Knopfler. The materials do not feel all that premium, but I have been using the cans nightly for two and a half years and they have held up quite well. Battery life has not been an issue for me, but I have never tested them. At this price they are very competitive if you do not need noise cancelling.
