These are not noise cancelling, but I did find the over-the-ear model to be pretty effective for that. They're reasonably comfortable. I got the model with no mic so I can't speak to that, but I was very pleased with the balance when it comes to music. I'm no DJ but I do have an ear for music, and I'd previously returned a pair because I was disappointed with the balance.
I will agree with other reviews I've read elsewhere, in that these are a very nice budget option if you care about music. No bells and whistles, but the sound quality is quite lovely. I'm kicking myself for being careless and breaking my first pair.
First of all, they are not the greatest at noise cancellation; they don't block out all noise. If you're looking for complete noise blocking, I would not recommend these. They do block out some noise, but they are not heavy-duty enough to be true noise-canceling.
Also, one of my biggest pet peeves about these is how long the cord is; I have had to fold it and secure it with twist-ties (you could use zip ties if you wish it to be more permanent), and that has worked for me for the most part. If I don't tie the cord up, it hangs down to my knees approximately (and I'm a tall guy at 6'2), so I think they are not the greatest for mobility because of that. If you're planning on using them for a sound studio and you need a long cord, they'd be perfect. I don't use them for this purpose, so using a twist-tie works for me.
I've run with these on, and they are fantastic at not coming off. Even when I'm sweating a lot, they stay pretty secured to my head. If I'm doing bench presses (I wear them to the gym), I'll just rotate them down so that the headband is sitting along my forehead line, and they stay there just fine.
The sound quality is pretty good; I'm not any kind of audiophile, so I don't really pick apart how well they sound vs. other headphones; I know that the sound is clear and crisp, and music as well as speech sounds very nice with these, and can be plenty loud enough to not hear surrounding noise.
So, my overall review would be that they are not the best for noise-cancellation and they have a very long cord. They also fit very snugly and stay on when you'd be sweating, working out, doing cardio, etc. The sound is pretty good, and I'm overall happy with them.
I am driving these from a FOSI tube headphone amp driven by a FOSI DAC. Sound quality is great, especially considering the low cost of the DAC, headphone amp, and headphones. I think most folks will really like these headphones. They fit well, and provide great sound.
I should mention that I purchased the tube upgrade for the headphone amp for $18. I think that was worth the money.
Also, I played Cantate Domino, a well known CD from Proprius Records. I am happy and certain of good tonal balance and sound quality from these headphones. They are amazing sound quality for the price.

Los recomiendo si buscas calidas y no potencia. Pero su volumen es bueno si estas sordo jijiji.
A princípio, acabei de receber ele, e venho-me o choque; ele é MUITO bom! Sim, não tenho nem horas para contar e já amei o fone em todos os sentidos, ele é leve, confortável, acabamento lindo e estiloso, além de ser confortável inclusive para quem usa óculos como eu. Testei música clássica, rock, rap, indie, pop e metal, e pasmem, ele lidou bem com todos os estilos aqui citados, graves bem definidos, isola bem o exterior, além do volume ser consideravelmente bom. O que me frustrou é não ter controle de volume, isso faz falta em um fone para se usar em computador/celular, além de não ter micro, então, atentem-se a isso!
Edit1: Depois de quase 1 ano de uso, posso concluir que é um fone incrível, MUITO DURÁVEL. Funcionando bem até então. Apenas descascou um pouco a almofada do fone, porém, é algo normal, e além disso, os fios foram prejudicados (pelos meus gatos, infelizmente), o que vai reduzir a vida útil dele, porém, está funcionando até então bem! Só cuidado com os gatos :) (Por isso, aumentei +1 estrela!)
En cuanto al sonido como no he probado auriculares de alta gama no puedo decir si a priori son la caña de España, aunque para mí se escuchan muy bien, no tengo ninguna queja, por tanto relación calidad-precio son una pasada.
Si no os queréis dejar mucho dinero y no sois muy exigentes estos auriculares cumplirán todas vuestras expectativas.
