I've had these for years and use them for travel and some work while traveling. I'm full iPhone & iPad Pro so these work well for me. I don't use them with my PC. It was enough for me to justify the purchase and I'm glad I did, but other than the Apple environment I can't really recommend these over the major competitors, especially when these cost more. I'd also be hesitant on the likely upcoming USB-C flip over.
Pros:
-Seamless integration in Apple environment, multi-device
-nice battery life, despite the "no turn off" thing (others are better)
-Sturdy
Good but not amazing:
-Quality sound (not elite Audiophile sound like some competitors though)
-Comfortable once you get them set up and adjustment and fitting right
-Decent microphone for calls, etc. - again not the best but solid.
-Simple, easy to use interaction (but also less options on headphones than some others)
Cons:
-Large, non-foldable, take up a lot of room in the bag.
-Need to buy an additional case if you want true hard case protection
-likely will be flipped to USB-C soon, leaving you with the need for a lightning cord or adapter.
Things I wish I knew:
-These sit differently on my head than my old Bose, once I figured that out they were comfortable and ANC worked well.

Being in the Apple ecosystem makes these better for me than the Bose. No need for an extra app and works across all my devices including my Apple TVs
