What matters in noise-cancelling headphones

Noise cancelling is the headline, but everything in this class cancels noise well enough that it is rarely what decides. What separates these is what you notice after an hour: the weight sitting on your head, how many hours you get before the battery quits, and whether a pair will hold your laptop and your phone at the same time.
