These are in excellent condition, and come with most of the original accessories (case, detachable cord, dual adapter, fresh batteries). I am selling because you cannot use them without the NC feature, and I would only use it occasionally. They are really comfy with really strong bass and good sound overall, but since I only keep one pair of cans these gotta go. If you travel a lot these would be great!
I am looking to get what I paid, $150 shipped.
Thanks.

Have you ever tried AT's noise cancelling cans? I use those currently at work, but may be interested in upgrading to these, if it is actually an upgrade.

Unfortunately no. This is the first pair I have used in years. I am sure you found this but here is a site doing a comparison between various NC models including these two.

I had these in house for about 2 weeks as part of the demo. I can tell you they are very nice. They have a couple attachment cords so you can use them with your iphone or possibly your android device. They also have a cord that is just a extension so you have a decent size cord. They bass is quite nice and overall they are similar to my Beyerdynamic DT-770's in sound profile. But with noise cancelling you dont have to crank it as much.
The carrying case is VERY nice, and they have controls for volume, skip, play/pause all on one of the earcups which is a pretty nice feature. Overall good cans for the price, decently comfortable.
Here are is a pic of the ones accessories (note these are not the exact headphones from this thread). I have some more pics at home I will try to upload later tonight

Great price on excellent sounding NC headphone. I prefer the Polk SQ>NC mix over the Bose NC>SQ. Haven't tried the AT.

Just to reiterate, I am not the original owner and I don't have all the original accessories, but everything you need to enjoy the tunes. For 50% of Amazon's new price, you could probably get some cables direct from Polk if you really needed them and still save quite a bit of cash over a new pair.Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es
