nothing wrong with the Able Planet sound, the noise cancels great. sounds are fine. but structurally they crush your head/ears. not as bad as some cheap headphones crush, but enough that you can't do much with them. they should install an adjuster. everybody in NYC has these orange headphones...

I have the Able Planet noise cancel headphones, but I have to throw them out and get a different brand. They kill my head and ears after about 25 minutes.
