My target was an over the ear headphone with noise cancelling + wireless/Bluetooth capability for around $300. Choices were quickly pared down to the JBL Everest Elite 700, Beats Studio Wireless, and the Sony MDRZX770. (I would have liked an option from Bose, but apparently they don't make a wireless headset with noise cancelling; it's either or.) For me, the Beats are well built and ergonomically acceptable, but the sound is simply too colored. The Sony was a slightly cheaper option, sounded ok (not great), but I wasn't thrilled with the build quality. For me, The JBL was the clear winner. Great and relatively neutral sound, very comfortable and ergonomically designed. The JBL Elite 700 paired up with my Samsung UHDTV and HTC One phone without a glitch, and with no lip-sync issues. The JBL software for Android, while not necessary for operation, worked as advertised and provided for a few nice additional features such as preset and/or customizable EQ. The defeatable noise cancellation was very effective (though not quite as good as Bose provides), and the adjustable and defeatable "Awareness" control, which allows you to let varying amounts of sound (phone, doorbell, car horn) through is a really nice feature. And yes, the headset can be used "wired" also, should you wish to conserve battery time. All in, this is a very well thought out headset and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The only improvement I can think of would be a hard shell carrying case. The supplied case is ok, but soft, and might not be sufficient protection in certain environments. Anyway: Highly recommended!
Protect your mobile phone against scuff marks and scratches with this polycarbonate plastic case that features a play-through design. Carry your phone with you in the holster that includes a sleep function that conserves battery life.

Pricey, but it works well.

The case material has enough "grip" to keep it from sliding around, but still can slip into a pocket. Buttons become a bit hard to manage, but the case does extend beyond the camera lens depth for necessary protection.
