*Design and Build*
 
Materials used are all high quality.  Solid metal surrounded by thick high end rubber.  
 
This tough build does lead them to be a little on the heavier side, but that is a small price to pay for such an amazingly built headphone.

*Comfort*
 
The Vega, like mentioned before, is one of the heavier headphones on the market.  So upon placing them on your head, you will feel their presence.
Once on, they fit very snuggly, though the clamping force never becomes painful.  The earpads are thick and lush, like pillows surrounding your ears.
Due to the tight fit and large pads, the Vega does provides a tight seal.  Ears can become warm over time because of the materials and clamping force.

*Noise Cancellation and Easedrop*
 
The Vega comes with a built in Noise Cancellation feature.  With a flip of a switch, the world around you goes mute.

However,  just as quick as you can bring the world back with just a quick click of the Easedrop Feature.

Both these feature work with the included AAA battery.  Battery life is said to be 35+ hours.
 
 
 
 
*Sound Quality*
 
The Jabra Vega follows the mainstream sound with a slighly U shaped signature.  Lows are pushed forward with a slight recession of the mids.
Soundstage is quite large for these fully closed headphones.  Highs are rolled off early giving the Vega a smooth, fun sound.

*Overall*
 
The Vega is a substantial headphone, with a substantial build.  Great features and a fun sound signature.

Hi, If you have used any other noice cancelling headphone like Bose qc25 can you compare? and also can you compare sound quality with other popular high end headphones that you tried?
 
Thank you for review by the way.
