These are NOT Over-Ear like the description says the earpads are really small.
These are for people with small ears only if you have average sized ears don't bother I tried them out, look at something else like the Anker Life Q30.

I can confirm I have slightly smaller than average ears that stick to my head and the EFM headphones still rest on the ear they don't feel like they are surrounding my ear. If you have regular sized ears you will not get a good seal, letting in outside sounds which defeats the purpose of the ANC feature.
Earpad size makes them suitable for younger folks like kids/teenagers, another reason is I have to extend the arms out to the max to fit my average sized head.
Next best price I can find is $154 + shipping. So between 40% to 50% off depending on the shipping costs.

I have them here so here are some initial thoughts.
I was happy with the EFM Havana Bluetooth speaker, so I thought these were worth checking out.
The earpads are small but they are good quality, soft and comfy. I think the size is a major problem with these headphones when they are described as "Over-Ear".
The overall build quality is very good, the headband is covered with pleather on the inside and outside and is comfortable on the head. The arms that come out of the headband are metal and slide smoothly to adjust.
ANC works well there are three modes Off, Medium and High. This headphone uses Hybrid ANC which means microphones on both the inside and outside with a total of 4 microphones. These are the only ANC headphones I have so nothing to compare them to. I can just say the ANC works. It blocks out airconditioner noises, not so much the sound of a whipper snipper. I can hear a bit of white noise if you are not playing anything.
One problem I have with the ANC is every time you power the headphones on it's Off by default, you need to press the ANC button twice to get it on High mode every time you use them.
I haven't tested battery life yet but it claims 20 to 34 hours. Weird things I noticed are after being fully charged the Battery showed 80%, the next time I used them it shows 100%. And the voice which talks to you "freezes" for half a second when I turn them on like "PoOOwer Ooooooon" not sure what that's about.
Sound quality is good, with ANC on High it is a bit bass heavy but it's really deep bass so the rest of the sound stays clear. This headphone does not have an App so you are stuck with the sound it has but it's good enough I don't feel the need to change anything about the sound.
Sound delay with iOS is ok, at first I thought there was some delay watching people talking but after doing the youtube "latency test" video there was barely any since the tick sounds when the ball bounces.
Overall I give them 4/10. The earpads are too small which ruins them for me. If the earpads were regular sized or if I had small ears I would give them a 8/10 due to their good build quality and good sound.
If you have regular sized ears I recommend looking for the Anker Life Q30 when it is on sale for $99. They are reviewed as having the best ANC in their price range.

I was first looking at the Razer Opus X, then missed out on the recent Anker Q30's for $99. I tried these EFM's out but sadly the deal is ruined for me due to the small earpads.
