GREAT value for money for a frequent air traveler!

Reviewer: pseudeep, Warwick, RI, USA

I had a pair of Sennheiser HD-201 over-the-ear headphones which I bought a little more than 2 years back. They were not noise-canceling and were not foldable for easy storage. The latter caused them to snap in my travel bag due to the various pressures on it by air travel.

So this time I was out looking for a pair of noise-canceling headphones that would preferably be foldable for easy storage in a carry-on bag. Looked at a couple of way more expensive models (even the Bose ones) but did not feel comfortable shelling out hundreds of $ on a pair of phones that 'may' break again. So took a chance on this set which seemed to be the least expensive set and had both features that I was looking for. Below is a list of pros and cons:

Pros:
1. Foldable for easy storage
2. Noise canceling works great on airplanes. Much better than what I expected. Haven't tried it in other noisy environments, but would think that it should work as good within the frequency range specified in the product details
3. Sound quality as good as what I used to get on the Sennheiser. I can hear background instruments very clearly, which are usually not very discernible on regular ipod earphones or speakers.
4. Battery consumption seems quite reasonable. Uses one AAA battery that is to be inserted in the left ear cup.
5. Is quite comfortable. I don't have a big head, and it doesn't hurt me when used over extended durations.
6. 'Appears' to be a little flimsy due to the foldable parts, but is actually quite sturdy.

Cons:
1. No volume control for those of you who might be looking for this feature.
2. Headphone case could be better. I would have preferred a harder case, than just a plastic/cloth bag. But I just use another harder case to store these headphones when traveling.
3. The ear cups could have been a little bigger to completely cover the ears. Don't cover my ears as much as my Sennheiser used to, but I don't think it compromises the sound quality very much.
4. When the noise canceling feature is on, if you press your finger/hand on the left ear cup (that holds the battery) to adjust the headphone position on your head, it causes some noise distortion. I'm supposing this is because the battery is being pushed closer to the speaker magnets or something like that, but you need to apply a good amount of pressure to get this distortion. Didn't appear to be a big problem for me.

All said and done, I'm extremely happy with the value for money on these headphones. The Boses and Sonys may obviously have some better sound quality, but being a casual music listener, this set is more than enough for my needs.

Sound great!

These sound great, but I don't know about the noise cancelling feature. I've never had NC headphones before so I don't really know what to expect. These simply sound like an awesome pair of phones to me. The little switch that you turn on simply increases the basss, imho, and does not necessarily cancel any ambient noises (if that's what they're supposed to do). Built well but the ear muffs might be small for a larger male. I'm a 6' male that wears a S/M fitted ballcap and they just barely fit around my ears. Other than that, great product.

Most reliable for the price I ever had

I like to use headphones while walking to work to hear news podcasts, and I need to filter out the sound of truck engines. These hold up better than any I've used. I am now buying my second pair, just to use as a spare.

Good value!

This is my first pair of noise canceling headphones so I can't compare to more expensive (10x more!!) models. Got them for 11 hr California to Europe flights.

Found them very comfortable and the noise reduction is quite good. Compared to airline phones they are great. Music and movies sound good and for dozing just unplug them and leave the NR on. Runs on 1 AAA battery that lasts at least 12 hrs.

Great value, and makes endless flights more bearable. At about $26 well worth trying.

The best cheap noise cancelling headphones, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewer: Tracy,

Before I got these, I read a few reviews, most of which said they were really good. When I got them, I WAS ASTONISHED!!!!!! Though it's more of a noise masking thing, they still work perfectly! IT'S WORTH IT!
