Product Details
Description:
Microphones in the headphones detect ambient noise that is interfering with your music. Information from the microphone is fed to the audio enhancer pack where it is analyzed and a precise active noise cancellation wave is generated. When this "anti-noise" wave meets the unwanted noise, the noise is reduced up to 95% so your music comes through loud and clear.

Not worth the low price
Strengths: Cheap
Weakness: Low volume, poor wiring will break within 3 months
I used these headphones for about 2 months. The volume was always very low, plus the noise cancelling feature receives interference from Blackberry's and other devices. I say "used" because the wiring around the fold up earpiece stripped due to normal use after only these 2 months! There is now no volume in the right earpiece. I would strongly discourage anyone from wasting their money on this -...

Nice Headphones
Strengths: Great sound, compact, good for travel
Weakness: Quality of material
These are excellent headphones. They deliver amazing sound quality weather the noise canceling is turned on or off. The light-weight headphones fit comfortably over your ears while the noise canceling switch is located half way down the cord. The only thing that i didn't like about them was the appearance. At first glance they look to be made out of cheap plastic. Other than that these headphones...

Good quality, very economical headphones
Strengths: Collapsible, so easier for travel. Includes adapter for airplanes that require dual prong for stereo.
Weakness: No "in line" volume control.
I'm very pleased with these noise-canceling headphones. Everything is included for travel (single or dual prong, travel bag), and its collapsible feature also makes it more convenient. The padding helps reduce ambient noise even with noise-cancelling turned off. They are also comfortable to wear. Good quality at a very reasonable price.

Good Product!!
Strengths: Comes with 2 adapters, one for flights and one for regular connections. Collapses well into the little carrying case making it easy to carry
Weakness: None
These headphones are great. They really knock out the sound of the engines when on flight and fold up into the little carrying case. The advantage is that they come with 2 sets of adapters, one for flights and one for regular connections. The music and radio sounds are also good. You get what you pay for in this headphone. It's good choice if one is looking for a low cost and reasonable...

Overall, you can't beat a noise...
Strengths: great bass, good noise reduction
Weakness: headphone jack needs to be positioned properly to avoid loss of sound in ear
Overall, you can't beat a noise cancellation headset for 30 bucks. My friend recommended this headset to me, and I am excited to pay 1/10 the price of the Bose set.
