3 out of 5 stars ok...but do not expect great sound or comfort.......2007-12-23

I have owned these headphones for three years. At first I used them for business travel, but that did not last for long. Now, I use them for home use.

Pros:

1. Comfortable earmuffs.
2. Okay/bad sound quality compared to Bose/Sennheiser; great sound quality compared to cheap earbuds.
3. Nice retractable cord.
4. Noise cancelling works well in car road trips, Amtrak trains, or quiet office/den (but only for an hour...)

Cons:

1. After about an hour, the top of the headphones hurts your head (hence, not a good thing for the airplane). I recommend another pair if you will be wearing these for longer than an hour. The plastic hurts over time.
2. Noise-cancelling does not work in these areas: airplane, gym, subway.

2 out of 5 stars Cancellation is OK, comfort so-so, human factors so-so.......2007-12-06

The noise cancellation on these headphones helps, but is far from perfect. I have not used more expensive noise-cancelling headphones for extended periods, so maybe this is as good as it gets.

The headhones are generally comfortable unless you are bald. The hinge in the middle of the top rubs against the top of my head. May not be a problem if you have a lot of hair.

The human factors is not too good. The retractable cord is a great idea, but it doesn't work reliably, the rewind slider is difficult to work (it sticks and is in an awkward place), and it gets hidden underneath the support flange. Why not a simple button right next to the cord?

I guess you get what you pay for. These were a gift. I probably would have bought something of better quality.

4 out of 5 stars There is a trick to the retract mechanism.......2007-11-22

I received these headphones as a gift and they are the first noise-canceling headphones I have used. I use them at my desk to cancel out the fan noise from my computer. For this purpose they work well. I put them on, flip the power switch, and the fan noise disappears like magic. I often wear them for more than an hour at a time and I find the discomfort to be minimal. If you find most over-ear head phones uncomfortable, you will likely find these to be uncomfortable.

After fighting with the retract mechanism the first few times I used it, I discovered the secret to easily retract them every time. The retract mechanism will not work while you are wearing the headphones or while the ear cup is up with the hinge extended. Simply rotate the cup downward and the switch for the retract mechanism operates easily.

I think these are worth the price and am considering purchasing a second pair to use at work.

3 out of 5 stars Decent phones.......2007-11-22

Good for the money. Noise cancelling removes a good bit of background noise. A jet engine's noise is muffled to a point where it's bearable. It's a bit weak in low frquency sound reproduction and gets a little uncomfortable after an hour or so of use. Folds into a small pouch that is easy to stow.

3 out of 5 stars Save for something better.......2007-11-21

the noise canceling on an airplane only made it so i could hear my music without having to bleed my eardrums but it doesn't really cancel out that much airplane rumble. also the small ear cups and this notch in the top where it folds gets really uncomfortable. You cant wear these for more then an hour unless you have small ears. Id say wait and save up to by some with better noise reduction quality. The sound is decent. Reviews say the quality is good for the price but the quality isn't good. Id say wait and save up to by some with better noise reduction quality. I just bought some audio technica quiet point headphones ($120) which i have heard rival the well known bose quiet comfort series($250-$350).
