Great Headphone but can still hear some noises [Posted on 2008-07-02] Works great but not nearly as good as the BOSE quality one, but I guess you get what you pay for. Blocks out the very loud noise but not to the mute level.
You get what you pay for [Posted on 2008-07-17] These headphones produce not bad sound quality, but they are not comfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes.
Noise canceling works only for low frequencies and in the same time add some noise on high frequencies (i.e. in a quiet room I hear more noise when noise canceling turned on)
So uncomfortable I didn't even bother to try the sound! [Posted on 2008-08-08] I had read quite a few reviews on Amazon about these headphones and they seemed like the right ones, but the moment I got them out of the box and on my head I knew I was going to return them.
The glaring design problem which JVC should beat themselves with rusty chains for is the total lack of cushioning on the folding headband. I couldn't keep them on my head for more than a minute before they started to irritate my skin. Granted, my hair is short and receding, but NO CUSHIONING AT ALL?! We're not with nerve endings, JVC!!
The second issue is that the earcups did not fit over my ears, but rather quashed them against my head. I'm fortunate in that my ears are don't stick out hardly at all, but still, it's not a comfortable feeling to have them clamped against my skull. The sensation was not unlike a vise with a little padding.
Finally, the rewind function of the headphone is a cute trick, but it's much smaller than a regular cord. That alone was cause for me to worry that all I'd have to do is catch it once on something and it would tear right out.
I'm going back to Best Buy and try the Philipps HN110's!

Good Value & Effective [Posted on 2008-08-25] Well packaged product; works well in airplanes to reduce (not eliminate) the constant buzz from the engines. Good sound quality from my iPod. Very comfortable even on long flights.
I wouldn't fly without them [Posted on 2008-09-22] It was a real improvement for my flying experience. Really cut engine and cabin noise. I won't fly without them.
