If you are looking for something to carry outside or travel with, this will never be the one for you. Agree that the sound quality is very exquisite for the price but the wire is so long and so thin, that more often than not it ends up winding itself. Even when you keep it in your bag, the earcups usually come out. But on the the brighter side, the sound quality you get is mind numbing. At this price point, the quality of noise cancellation is commendable. Overall, I’d say that the product is meant for indoor use, not outdoors.
