So I got this over a month ago and I must say I'm really satisfied with the product. Best headphones under the $200 mark. I been using them on a daily basis and gotta admit, I was worried it would not isolate the outside noise; I was wrong. The quality is outstanding, even for bass enthusiasts, which will depend on the device you are listening and its equalizer. Portable and lightweight.
So in terms of experience, let me tell you how it worked for me:
-Traveling: used the headphones on an airplane were, unfortunately, there was a crying baby. Headphones were able to isolate enough not only the plane's engines but also muffle the baby's crying. The volume wasn't even on the highest setting and it was pleasant to enjoy my music. Low or orchestrated music did requiered a bit of volume but nothing serious. Overrall, between this and the BOSE Quiet Comfort (which my brother owns), BOSE would be perfect for %100 isolation, but the Audio Technica will definitely give you enough isolation to not even notice the plane's engines... Or crying babies.
-Video Editing: using this for recording video and even for detecting high peaks in the sound hasn't been so easy. True sound. It comes with 3 different adapters, one of them with an audio component for connecting to your guitar or amplifier. Haven't used them personally but if you need this device for audio production, these headphones fot you covered. On the video editing it was perfect for matching the vocal sounds and background music so well that when the final product was done, the sound designed kept the same quality and it was accurate to what it was listened on the headphones.
-Sports and Outside use: I use my scooter to go around town and something that kept me worried was that if I wouldn't hear traffic or anything I should be paying attention. Fortunately, this headphones gave me enough sound quality and isolation to enjoy the music and listen to traffic around me. Also very confortable while riding the scooter. Walking works just fine but running might be a little uncomfortable, but for any type of big headphones might be a common problem, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
-Music: Outstanding. High and low notes sound beautiful. Great bass. Do I have to say more? Best way to test this headphones? Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen. The single song with most tunes in my opinion.
I have never used the sound amplifier that comes with it because the volume level has work for me but for the price is worth the extra.
Packaging is simple and comes with a small bag to carry the headphones, no hardcase which I would rather have but that one is sold separately.
The only thing that disappointed me was not having an option for getting an accidental plan. I was willing to buy one but the Audio Technica Amazon site apparently doesn't offer this. BOSE does, so what gives? Might be a nitpick but like many other brands, they are giving this option even here on Amazon.
I like this headphones, even better than the overpriced BEATS. If you are looking for true sound and music quality under $200, this are the headphones you are looking for.
TL;DR:
-Perfect for Airplane travel, not a noise cancelling headphone but gives enough isolation for enjoying music at not high volumes.
-Quality and precise sound for audio and video production.
-For sports due to its size might be uncomfortable but is more of a personal opinion.
-Walking on the street with this will have the perfect balance for the music and attention you need to hear traffic.
-Amazing music quality.
-Portable.

10/10, would buy. have bought...
I bought these a year ago and they are still in mint condition. You truly get what you pay for with these headphones. I invested about 1000$ into a quality custom sound system in my car, which sounds excellent and these headphones can keep up with the car system just fine. These headphones are all about studio quality, so you will hear sounds in your music you did not originally hear before listening to them. Not only is the sound quality extremely majestic, the build quality is glorious. I've had these headphones for a year now, and i'll admit to dropping them a few times... picked them up and no scratches or nothing. Now lets talk about bass... These headphones will not vibrate your entire surrounding with bass, they will vibrate your dreams with bass.TLDR, Crystal clear quality, excellent build quality. You get what you pay for and more.Comes with 3 different cables, one with a coil wire that will extend farther then your imagination, a short one, and a moderately sized one. Headphones come in a protective pouch. http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/99aff89488ddd6b1/
