Even those car journeys where all you can hear is the road noise. The solution? Noise cancelling headphones, they promise peace, but do they work? Short answer yes. The long answer? The rest of this review!

London to Taiwan and Back
I got this headset in my hands the day before a flight to Taiwan for Computex 2017. With a total of 9 hours on the train and over 30 hours of flying there and back. I didn’t even have time to photograph this sample before I left, I opened the box, charged it, and left. Overall, I have battle-tested the headset thoroughly.
