Let me preface this with I am not an audiophile, but I have used many different headphones in my lifetime and definitely distinguish a quality pair of headphones vs not so good ones.
The sound quality is nice and crisp, they do not sound tinny like many headphones in this price range. Like many reviewers have mentioned, the headphones have good bass to them, not overpowering but you can definitely feel it.
The build quality is good, not top-of-the-line good like a $300 pair of Sennheisers, but definitely feels like you have a good product in your hands. The earcups are very comfortable, I wear glasses so many pairs I owned in the past were uncomfortable to wear with glasses on but with these I had no such issues. My only complaint in build quality and aesthetics is the buttons feels/looks a little cheap, but again for this price range it's to be expected.
The noise-canceling and transparency mode is very good. In transparency mode the sounds do not sound robotic at all, another problem I had with other headphones. Noise canceling does a great job, it will cancel out 80-90% of the noise from my neighbors lawn mower. It works so well that I can't even hear myself speak with it on.
There is also very little sound leakage when they're on your head, even on max volume.
Another huge future these has is multi-point pairing. You can have them paired to 2 devices and switch between them on their own. It stops working so well when you try to pair it with more than 2 devices though, I find the auto-switching no longer functions properly and you will have to manually disconnect/connect. This shouldn't be a problem for most people but I have 2 phones, a tablet and a laptop that I use them on. I might wait for them to go on sale again and buy another pair so I only have 2 devices paired per headphone.
My only complaint is that I went with the Oats color, it looks very nice and premium in pictures but in real life they look like faded white plastic, but this is of my own doing. I wish Anker just made this is white instead of this cream color. Had I known how the Oats color would look in real life, I would've just went with the black pair instead. My friend has the blue one and it's very nice as well, it's a dark rich royal blue color that makes the headphones look much more expensive than they actually are.
Overall, for $50 before tax (they were on sale), you'll be hard pressed to find anything better for the money, they sound and function better than my Beats Solo which is more than double of what I paid for these.
