Great noise cancellation. , are convenient on the earpiece. These headphones are attractive and super functional. The only thing is the tightness of the headband worn over time, it feels a little loose. I would highly recommend it.	The design and comfort of LIVE 650BTNC headphones are lightweight and comfortable, which is excellent for traveling and listening to music.
