When you first open the box you are greeted with a nice smooth durable carrying case. I can see these would be perfect for when you are bringing your pc to a LAN party or just traveling in general. There are plenty of pockets for the rather surprising amount of adapters and plugs. You can plug these into about anything with all the adapters provided. There is a 5ft extension cord as well. The headphones look quite nice actually from an aesthetic standpoint, hell they get even better when you put them on. I can say without a doubt these are THE most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. There is plenty of padding in the ear cups themselves and this wonderfully squishy and soft material lining the band that goes around you head. Kudos to Able Planet on this, I’m sure they know a lot of their users will be wearing these for extended periods of time as most gaming sessions / LAN parties are long engaging affairs. Naturally these are fully adjustable and the ear cups themselves can rotate and contort, so they are comfortable in just about any listening position. Behind the left ear cup is the switch to turn on the much touted active noise canceling technology, I’ll get into that later.  The cable leading to your iPod, PC, Nintendo DS, etc has the volume control. I would have much preferred to have the noise canceling on / off switch on the volume control unit itself.  You will forget to turn it off seeing the switch is completely out of your vision. I’ve definitely forgot myself a few times and I can see other people doing this regularly. Unfortunately I haven’t seen a mention of an auto shut off feature either.
