Terrible - don't do it to yourself!

Date of Review:  May 10, 2009
Review: My experience of these headphones has been terrible. They are not "active noise cancelling" in any sense of the word - rather, they replace ambient noise with a high-pitch sqealing sound. The only noise cancelling I get is from pushing the buds far...

very poor bass response

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2006
Review: I just compared these to my $5.00 pair of phones, and they're *worse*. Very tinny sound, poor bass. The battery/control box is large and has no belt clip or lanyard so it may pull the ear buds out of your ears.

They do work!

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for something that has noise canceling but are unprepared to pay a lot of money, get them! They actually work.
Review: So, here's my story: I happened to be shopping at Target the day before my international flight (17hrs of flying) and saw these headphones. The price: roughly $30 was the largest plus for noise canceling headphones. I had heard bad things about...

Unsat

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2006
Review: These earbuds do not work at all. The rubber piece that fits snug in your ear will reduce some unwanted noise, but the noise cancelling circuit only creates a hissing noise and does nothing against the loud roar of a jet aircraft. Sound quality is...

Poor Durability Ruins Otherwise Good Headphones

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: A shame they don't last. I really liked them.
Review: I really love my Philips HDD6330 30GB MP3 player . And I listen to it all the time, just about every day actually. Most of the time, I'm using my Philips HE-592 headphones with them because of the absolutely amazing 3-D sound they provide. But the...

A so-so product. Boosts volume but adds low hiss. I'd look elsewhere

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2007
Review: I just picked these up at Wal-mart for about $25. They work -- kind of. They do reduce noise by a little, but when plugged into my portable DVD player, they also add a hum. They sort of do more boosting of the volume level than they do of reducing...

Useless piece of kit

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2006
Review: I bought this product for the advertised noise reduction facility as I had a 14 hour flight to go on.
It's a nice fit in the ears as there is a choice of 3 different sizes, but that's the only good thing about it.
I tested it out during my...

Left side stopped working after a few weeks.

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2007
Review: I was disappointed in the quality of these ear buds. They don't stay in your ear and they are cumbersome to handle; the noise canceling control box are pulling on the ear buds and make the fall out.
After 3 weeks of light use the left ear bud...

The best under $100. No doubt.

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Can't afford Bose? Sony fries your ears? These may do the trick.
Review: *This review is based on initial impressions. Long term review will be added later.*

I was looking for a good pair of noise cancelling headphones that wouldn't leave me in the poorhouse. I'd used a pair of Bose at the Apple store, but they...

not "active" noise canceling

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: They are better (but not much) for a plane ride than regular in-ear earbuds at the same price.
Review: "Active noise canceling" means that the circuitry should actively listen for noise and generate sound waves to cancel out (usually low frequency hum) noise.

There is no microphone which listens for noise and no circuity to cancel unwanted...
