These work great, look super cool, are easy to use, have great sound quality, long battery life, and great range! What more can you ask for. I ordered these because my husband took my old ones to work with him. I'm kinda glad he did! These are better. They're super comfortable too. I wear these while cleaning and are perfect. I can keep my phone in one place and walk around my entire house without loosing connection! Mind you my house isn't huge but it's 1200 sq ft. That's better than any other ear buds I've used before. The case is also quite futuristic and has magnets or so that can stick your EarPods right into the right caves. I don’t know much about noise cancelling and you still can hear people talking next to you so if you want complete silence this may not be for you. However, it’s safer IMO that you are still aware of your surrounding. They stick to my ears quite nicely also. I flipped backward and forward several times with this.
