Description
The superb-sounding Altec Lansing AHP712i headphones with Active Noise Reduction are ideal for the frequent traveler and anyone in a noisy environment. Active Noise Reduction technology uses small microphones to 'listen' to ambient sounds and special circuitry to create a sound wave 180 degrees out of phase from the ambient sounds. When the sound wave is played through the headphones, it reduces ambient noises, such as airplane engines and subway rumbles, to allow you to focus on your music, movies or games.

Strengths: Very good sound with NC on
Weakness: none
Very very good quality for the price and it offers a pretty good compromise between the sound reduction of closed headphones. They were a good choice over the very pricey Bose ones.
Strengths: It is a good noise cancelling heaphones
Weakness: Bulky, cannot wear for too uncomfortable and material is poor.
Overall is still a good item. I purchased my on sale. Unfortunately the one I purchased has a minor defect, The cushion was falling off and I could feel with my fingers that the inner part was not properly glued and was sticky. The control will give more power and sound, however sometimes you feel one side louder than the other.
Strengths: Dynamic range, bass response, amplified volume, light weight, many plug adapters
Weakness: Poor imaging, weak high freq response, uncomfortable, noise cancelation adds to noise floor
I paid $45 on special promotion. They look and feel cheap. Though they’re lightweight, they put too much pressure on the ears and the top of the head to be comfortable for very long periods. The sound quality was better than stock ear buds that come with MP3 players, but not as good as high quality headphones. The AHP-712 could not provide the imaging quality or high freq response of my Sony...
Strengths: Good noise cancelling (NC). Great sound with NC on.
Weakness: NC produces some static. OK sound with NC off.
The NC works a lot better than the Sony NC-6. Sound isolation is pretty good with the NC off. With the NC turned on, the sound is clearer, but there is static in (electrical noise) heard in quiet environments. Overall, it's a good value and is much cheaper than the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. For the best in NC, Bose still has the advantage.
Strengths: super slick looking. Good noise reduction properties. At fraction of a cost to more expensive similar headphones from Sony/JVC.
Weakness: Slightly bulky to carry around.
This is a very nice looking unit. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the headphones. I also own a Sony noise reduction headphone. This is better than that and I paid 1/2 the price. The packaging is good too. Only wish that these could be folded better to carry around for normal use. Great noise reduction to carry in planes or noisy areas. Highly recommend.
Strengths: Terrific sound & noise cancelling ability
Weakness: Slightly bulky and take some getting used to before they feel comfortable
These are very good quality for the price. After reading reviews posted around the web, I decided to give these a try. Once I got used to the size and weight of these headphones, I was very impressed with them. The sound quality is great as is the noise reduction. I don't believe you can find anything better at their price point.
Strengths: The noise reduction works quite well.
Weakness: flimsy materials used which resulted in my right ear piece snapping off after a short time. Also too bulky and will not fold away.
Best in price range but a flimsy piece of plastic (5mm x 2mm) which holds the head phones onto the headband is far too small and weak to last. Mine broke off after the third time I used them which now makes them unusable. Probably best to pay a little more for better build quality and is less bulky.
Very good noise reduction. Especially effective on road noise when using them in the car. Decent sound quality when listening to music given what they are doing. Sound quality of music with noise reduction turned off is poor, but so what. When not plugged into an audio playback device and with noise reduction on, a slight hiss is apparent. I would recommend this product.
Strengths: Very comfortable, cheap, decent base (when NC on), good battery life
Weakness: Horrible sound when NC is off. Random buzz occurred when NC turned on and won't go away - I had to RMA it.
If you're looking for an OK noise cancelling headphone that ONLY works when NC is on, then get this one. It's very comfortable, and the sound quality is decent if there is no buzz. Once there is buzz when turn on NC, then something is loose inside. Just RMA it with Altec Lansing, and you'll be much happier with it.

“Noise canceling” headphones have been around for awhile, but only recently have the prices dropped to levels most of us can afford. While the BOSE Quiet Comfort 2 still reigns supreme in both price and performance, dozens of manufacturers, have introduced competing models at a fraction of the cost. A good example is Altec Lansing’s AHP 712i which sells at just a quarter of the price.

Altec Lansing 712hi
Strengths: Good Bass. Airplane plug. Two chords of differnt lengths.
Weakness: Backgrounnd "Bzzzz" when ANR is turned on. This "bzzzz" is very noticible at low volumes like breaks between songs. Also very noticebale with classical music such as piano music.
Noise cancelling works ok. Don't expect anything like Bose Quite Comfort. If you can't stand the background "bzzzz" then you might try some non ANR headphones. Other than that these work great for pop, rock, and otherloud music!
