Thank you for the posting, but I really don't have good experience with this brand. I tried couple model for like 7. But all of them breaks easy or get problem or mic doesn't work well. I would not recommend this brand until they improve the quality.

I prefer the JBL sound to most speakers/headsets and I'm hoping they will sell the Elite 150NC for $30 again. Are these better somehow than the 150NC? Ignoring the noise canceling feature on the 150.

Depends what you're using the for. I have both. The 150NC are bulky, both the tips and the band, and difficult to get a good seal in your ear, thus negating the NC part for the most part. The NC on the 150 is marginal at best, but then again, my first pair of NC were Bose. The NC is adequate for my use in an environment with a low grade constant mechanical hum. I use the 220BT to sleep with. They are small enough and comfortable enough to be able to sleep on your side with, as long as you replace the silicone tips with foam ones and rotate the bud 180 degrees from "normal". I use neither pair for actual phone use, just music or media. The battery on the 220BT lasts at least 8 hours. The battery on the 150NC, I'm not sure. They last with intermittent use during at least 2 work days. The 220BT have a serious issue with ambient noise interference related to how they're positioned. For example, if they not placed just right on your neck, you can hear the rubbing of the neck band against your shirt or skin. Move the band a little, they're just fine.However, they help immensely in drowning out the freight train that sleeps next to me. The 150NC, like I said before are just plain big bulky heavy and clunky. The 150NC I purchased were refurbished and I ended up sending them back due to an extremely strong petroleum type odor that did not dissipate during the return period rendering them almost use less due to causing a headache. The replacement/same pair I received in return, had a similar odor but not as strong and with time the odor is no longer an issue. I would NOT pay the $150 for the 150NC, I purchased mine for $30. I also would NOT pay the full price for the 220BT, I paid $19.99. I obviously use the 220BT's the most and so far they've held up fine. I have noticed though that they will lose connection if the band is buried in my pillow or mattress even though my phone is less than 6ft away. I am by no means an ear bud snob as far as sound quality, I base my likes on comfort and battery life. That being said, I feel the sound quality is better than a lot of earbuds that I have tried in my yet unfulfilled quest for the perfect set.

Bought a pair and one ear piece stopped working within 2 weeks. Also, when they did work. The battery life and range was not good. I do not recommend this item.
