These are the FM20 headphones by FIO MOTUS, my mom ordered these off Amazon. And I had to get them in my favorite color, purple.

They fit comfortably on my head, and even though I feel like I have a big head, I didn't have extend them much at all for them to fit.

The sound quality is great. These are actually good noise cancelling, which is great because I live by myself in an apartment complex and the walls are thin. And I'm currently watching tv whilst wearing them and I cant hear anything else.

And they charge fast: apparently 10 minutes of charging can give you 12 hours of playtime. We'll see how true that rings, but so far I am enjoying my new headphones.

Thanks. Handy to know.

I'm still on my first pair of noise cancelling headphones. The "cheap"[est] Bose ones (^around that same price). They do a fair job of noise cancelling [~ though not great enough to immunise me from SensoryProcessingDisorder triggers]. But I have nothing else to compare to. Have been considering making a big investment for their more expensive ones that I've seen get great reviews.
