Many bad qualities [Posted on 2007-05-22]
Apparently this product is discontinued, but you can use the reviews here as a guide on what not to buy in the future. Buyer beware and all that.
I too found the noise canceling nonexistent. Apparently it works for some units in some instances and not in others.
The neckband was in no way adjustable. This was not a major problem for me, but it was inconvenient.
The noise canceling unit was mounted in a very inconvenient location. Ultimately, that is what ruined my unit--I was pulling it out of a bag and the noise canceling unit snagged on something and I pulled the wire just enough to cause a short. A better-designed device would not have suffered this problem.
Get quality sound with uncomfortable ears [Posted on 2007-11-23]
-- Sound quality: It is a decent product if you use on airplanes. It does indeed cancel all that noise of the plane. If you use them in a noisy environment, such as a coffee shop, you definitely see a difference, but it is not like you are sound proof.. Overall I think it has decent sound and noise canceling properties.
-- Comfort: It is not very comfortable. You cannot wear these and sleep. The neck band is weird and it pushes the headphones away from your ears if you use a pillow or lie down. Also, the part over the ears sometimes make my ears hurt. I can't use them more than half an hour without readjusting.
PS: The 'most helpful' review is wrong. Headphones do work even if you don't have batteries. You only need batteries to use noise canceling.
Terrible headphones!! [Posted on 2007-12-18]
I just bought these cheap headphones!! Looks nice but not are functional!! I expect good and strong sound quality!! But really doesn't worth a penny!! Terrible sound,!! Dont buy these!
Great earphones [Posted on 2008-06-14]
The earphones I purchased are the best earphones under $100 that I know of, and I use them to make a living. I could not find them at any electronics store, but naturally I found them on the net, specifically Amazon.
Poor design, great sound [Posted on 2008-09-24]
I bought these headphones for my pc and have to say that they are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever had. The sound quality, however, was great--though not enough to deal w/ the comfort issue. I will be returning them.
