Summary: the noise cancellation is like magic
Review: i bought these with limited expectations, as i didn't spend much and figured that would correlate with the performance. boy was i wrong - on a recent plane trip, the noise canceling and good performance made listening to my ipod a truly new experience. i have never been able to listen to jazz on a plane, but norah sounded great. on the return flight, i just put them on with no player and switched on the canceling to cut the noise and make it easier to relax. i can't recommend these strongly enough - it's truly amazing! buy it and be good to yourself.

Summary: Extremely poor quality product.
Review: I have purchased and returned two sets of these headphones. The first set overheated and fried itself as soon as the batteries were installed. The second set worked for a little over an hour before developing constant hissing and popping. Also the head band adjuster would not retract on one side, making it impossible to fold them up for storage in the travel bag.

I consider the quality of this headset one of the poorest I have ever seen. Even frayed bare wires were visible on one side.

I recommend you avoid Taurus products completely.

Summary: Quality headphones! Well worth the money!
Review: These headphones work just as described; very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. The ear cushions completely surround your ears to block out 90%+ of background noise. The quality craftsmanship is apparant; these headphones are well made and seem to be comparable to the Boise headphones you see advertised on TV for hundreds of dollars. The battery life, while I haven't tested it this extensively yet, is said to be 100 or so hours per set of AAA batteries, so they shouldn't need to be replaced frequently; plus, the headphones work wonderfully without even using the battery function to block out background noise (it's optional; there is a switch on the cord). In summary, these are wonderful headphones; let them replace the cheaper headsets you spend dozens of dollars on every couple of years. You won't be disappointed.
