While noise cancellation is present, it may not be adequate in very noisy environments. Furthermore, the headphones can be sensitive to wear, particularly at the cable, raising concerns about their long-term durability. Finally, their price may be perceived as high compared to other models on the market, thus limiting their accessibility.
