"Don't bother"
Pros: Sound is rich and detailed
Cons: Hiss and reliability
Summary: At £90 these are not cheep and having had my pair fail in the left ear after just 2 days of use was very disappointing to say the least. To add to my frustration when I checked all the online reviews across several websites it turned out that this is a very common fault with this product.
As I got these for their noise cancellation properties I was disappointed when the volume control did not work when in use on the plane. There is also an annoying hiss when the cancellation is on, even in quiet environments. When the noise cancellation is off the performance is also compromised although there is no hiss.
I could not recommend these to anyone...

I have had the complete opposite experience. I have had these headphones for about 2 years. I use them on planes at work and when mowing the lawn and they are great. One of the best investments I have made. The Vol. has always worked well for me and the noise reduction is amazing. When you use them on a plane it is a HUGE difference.

The same failure happened to me.
I bought this headphone a few months ago, and did not use frequently.
Last week, passing through a metal detector at the airport, I dropped my headphone into the box, and after that my left ear speaker was gone. -
