This review is after about 2 weeks of heavy usage of these headphones, so here goes:
Build quality- The headphones are well built, and although I used to have to take them off after a while when I first bought them, this pretty much happens to everyone buying their first pair of over ear headphones, you'll get used to it after around a week. Overall, I would say that theyre extremely well built, and the fabric around the top band really helps them be extremely comfy to wear.
Noise isolation : Amazon has mentioned that these headphones have noise "cancellation" but there's a difference between 'active' noise cancellation and "passive" noise "isolation". In short: these headphones don't have noise cancellation, but that's literally impossible to get at this price point. However the headphones do a really good job at noise "isolation" and you can barely hear anything.
Sound- They sound really good, that's all I can really say, they're a little bass heavy but you can customise that using the JBL headphones app, which I definitely recommend using with these headphones- it makes them come to life honestly and they sound soo much better.
Other features- The ambient noise features that they have mentioned work extremely well, I was mind blown that this feature works so well at this price point, it's super useful and definitely another huge plus in my book.
The Google assistant feature is slightly finicky though- The best way to get it to work is to slightly press down using 2 fingers instead of just tapping, it's pretty good though, it reads out your notifications so you don't have to pull out your phone to see.
Connectivity- This is my only issue with these headphones: the audio can start stuttering at times but it takes just a couple seconds to reconnect them which fixes the issue.
Final thoughts: These headphones have lots of good features, pretty good sound, and even an audio jack so you can use them wired. They're the best pair of headphones for those who are going to use them for many different situations (at home, commuting, using them with your gaming console, etc). If you don't care about the audio jack and the ambient features you should look at senheiser headphones, they have even better sound, but these headphones are a total win for me.
