This item was not what I had expected, very cheap construction and mediocre sound quality. NOT worth the price!

I had high hopes for these, but am sending them back. The noise cancelling feature is a joke. A little battery operated amp is what it amounts to, switching it on increases the volume and adds a little bass. lol I can do that on my own, thanks. It certainly doesn’t block background noise much; I had tunes on in the headphones and the tv in the background, could still hear the tv very plainly. They seem to be ok otherwise, but certainly not worth $100.00. I am asking for an RGA today and will send them back.

These are the first noise reduction headphones I have owned. I just used them on a plane trip, and they worked great, essentially eliminating the background plane noise. I highly recommend these headphones, especially at the price.

Never having a noise cancelling headphone set before, these are a great introducatory level headphone set. I do not know how they came up with the percent of noise blocked, but they do drown out a lot of the low level background noise. The headphones are really light are become unnoticable after wearing them for a long time. I liked how the headphones still function without the noise cancelling option on. That way if you are mid-flight, your headphones will still function just without the noise cancelling effect. These are a great value noise-cancelling headphones!

At first, i was not planning to get them but I got the headphones during one of the 1h deal on Amazon… I only hear good reviews on the audio Technica noise cancelling headphones so I got these ones.
Even if they are not over the ears, they are very confortable. I have weared them on 3 to 4 hours flight and didn’t fill any discomfort. Some headphones could press too much on your ears and which make them feel like burning. Not these ones.
For the sound quality, i feel that the low end range is missing a bit especially while listening music on a low volume but the sound quality is great. The noise cancelling feature works well and is comparable to any other headphones. In term of noise cancellation, i would find the in-ear headsets would work better but they can get uncomfortable after a while creating some pressure within your ears.
The battery is at the end of the cord, not in the headphones which make them light. But, this creates a small weight close to jack. Not a big deal. An extension cord is coming with the headphones so it is always possible to extend the cord. You also have the adapter for the 2 jacks plug that you find in some airlines like Lufthansa.
I’m quite pleased with the headsets. They are not perfect but relatively well priced for their quality. They are not as big as a complete over the ears headphones and can fold in 3 to fit in the small pouch. I would have prefer that the earphones turn 90 degrees to fit perfectly (as done with the bose quiet headphones).
