These controls are located on the right ear cup, and let you play/pause, and switch between songs. On-headphone controls are usually wonky and unintutivive, but I found myself using them on a daily basis (and missing them on other headphones.)Those controls might be my favorite feature of these headphones, but theirbiggest feature is their active noise-cancelling, which is very impressive. They blocked out almost all the noise in many different environments, including my noisy, NYC subway commute. The only headphones that've bested these in the noise-cancelling department areSony's new high-end, noise-cancelling headphones, the MDR-1000x.Thereis a difference in noise-cancelling quality between the two, but at its current price, opting for the H.ear headphones is a no brainer.Sony discounted these headphones for a short time before, but this current discount appears to be permanent.
