Introduction
Sonically, the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC stands up to many headphones of the same price that don't have noise cancelling and Bluetooth 3.0. The half in-ear design is very unique and should help keep the headphones in place for most people. The noise cancelling works nearly as well as the others I've tested and the wireless connection doesn't depreciate audio quality significantly. With the ability to bypass the wireless if the battery dies, the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC are easily the most flexible earphones I've tested. With very good audio quality, a full suite of features, and a unique design, the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC headphones definitely get my recommendation.
