O: This product suits a commuter who finds wireless headphones uncomfortable in the ears and avoids earbuds, and who checks the seller's return conditions before briefly wearing a light on-ear model. X: The source does not verify noise cancellation or comfort during long wear for this on-ear design with no noise cancellation, and it is not yet listed on Amazon US.
