This is my first headset so I can't compare it to another set to say it's worse than or better but what I can say is that I LOVE THEM and wish that I had looked into getting them sooner!
First of all they are supremely comfortable. They're adjustable to fit and very lightweight, and the ear pads are SO comfortable I barely notice that I have them on. The pads swivel too. The controls are on one side along with the boom microphone, so I think that's a good feature. There is much less confusion getting used to operating them. The boom microphone lights up red when mute is on which is very helpful and you can wear it on either side since it flips from front to back. Also, since they're so lightweight they don't press into my eye glasses while I'm working, just another plus and an important one.
The battery has a very long-lasting charge. I almost couldn't believe it. I've left it off of the charge for days and picked them up, turned them on and they tell me, "you're connected, battery full". Wow.
The sound quality is really very good. Soothing even. The volume is great. I wouldn't push it to it's maximum, it isn't necessary. The headset also does a great job of blocking out external noise so there isn't any interference. The bass is good too. Really, I've always been fussy about how my music sounds and this has a great tone. Just right.
Another plus is the fact that I do not need an app since all of the controls are on the headset. Once the pairing was made with bluetooth I was up and running. I understand that it also supports Siri and Google voice prompts but I haven't had a chance to toy with that yet. In addition, they also have the ability to pair with multiple devices simultaneously, mobile and a desktop or Ipad. You can charge them while you're wearing them too just in case you forget and leave them uncharged for two weeks or so :-D 45 hours? Remarkable.
