Summary: Great headphones for the cost
Review: I've used these headphones for many months and like them a lot. I have an MP3 player that needs a boost, as well as my laptop. These headphones provide that volume increase so I can leave my boostaroo headphone amplifier at home. Noise reduction works when on a plane, near a forced-air fireplace, operating machinery, etc. Battery lasts a long time, headphones work when battery is dead (just no boost/canceling). Comfortable, foldable, has a plane adaptor, carrying bag.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth it
Review: Incredibly poor treble response. Noise cancellation nearly non-existent. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Mine are going back.

Summary: OK, not great
Review: My experience with this product reinforces comments from the other reviewers. Bottom line, the audio quality is acceptable for the money (or as a gift, in my case). But I wouldn't pay much more.

Here are highlights from my experience:

- The AAA battery and power switch don't seem to do much. If I'm listening and flip the switch, I can hear a minor difference (volume and tone boost). But if I just put the headphones on without knowing whether the switch is on or not, I can't really tell a difference.

- The headphones lean WAY toward the bass end. Sound quality will be absolutely horrible unless you have a device where you can adjust your treble and bass. My first test was with a Sarah McLachlan CD, and it didn't even sound like her! Once I upped the treble on my CD player, things got better.

- Noise cancelling is quite good. If your primary use is for airplane listening (as is mine), these muffle the outside world quite well. I can also see them working well in a noisy office environment. However, I'll definitely carry my earbuds for non-airplane listening.

- It could just be me, but my ears seem to adjust the longer I listen, and the sound quality seems to get markedly better. Perhaps this has something to do with the noise-cancelling feature . . . some kind of tone change the ear doesn't like at first but then gets used to.

- The inclusion of the airplane adapter is a nice touch. Now I don't also have to carry the cheap headphones I got from ATA and Continental.

If price and muffling engines are more important that fine audio quality, get these. Otherwise, keep shopping.

Summary: Very good for the price!
Review: These headphones worked very well on a round-trip to Paris. They cancelled engine noise well enough for me to hear the movie dialogue clearly and to sleep on the overnight flight. They were so comfortable that after wearing them for 7+ hours, I forgot I was wearing them until the flight attendant spoke to me and I could not hear her. The headphones are very light, with fairly small earpads. They fold very nicely to fit into the carrying pouch (included). Battery life is decent, one single battery lasted the flight Paris and a flight to Hawaii from the East Coast.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great For Everyday Travelers
Review: When I first purchased these headphone I had my douts. But When I got them, They worked great. Sure they dont compare to the bose headphone but if you want a low price noise canceling headphones go with these ones. Dont worry about what others say these head phones are great. They are also very comfortable and have this adapter to work on airplanes. They also fold up small to take them everywhere. They have been around the world with me, I dont leave them behind. On the plane they block out most the noise to make your long or short flight refreshing and confortable.
