• Exodus ANC Marley can be easily folded into a more compact format and is very convenient to carry around

Reasons Why You Should Avoid Them

• Some users may feel uncomfortable during long listening sessions because the headphone suspension mechanism causes uneven weight distribution 
• The noise canceling performance of House of Marley Exodus is just average, it does not exceed Bose QuietComfort 35 II or Sony Sony WH-1000XM3
• When using The House Of Marley Exodus Headphones in a quiet room, the amplifier has a faint hissing sound due to the digital processing of ANC
• Due to the non-availability of a dedicated app, House of Marley's Exodus ANC wireless headphones are not as customizable as some of the other over-ear Active Noise Canceling headphones
• In our House of Marley Exodus ANC test, we found that the call quality of the built-in microphone is below average, feels thin, noticeably subdued and lacks detail
• The built-in physical buttons are a little loose and their tinkling sound can be easily heard while moving or running 
• There is significant latency when watching movies or playing games due to the lack of support for high-quality codec such as aptX, aptX HD or LDAC (SBC audio codec only) 
• Included fabric pouch protects against scratches and slight damage to water, but not against falls and impact
