    I originally got these a few years back to block out noise in my office. My job requires concentration and these headphones really help block out the noise from my loud office mates. My husband has a pair of the Bose noise cancelling headphones that sell for almost $300. These cost significantly less, do a comparable job, and they are quite comfortable.

    These headphones were designed with everything but sound quality in mind.

    They’re as soft as a marshmallow on the side of your ears and carry sound about half as well. Honestly, the $1 earbuds you get at the drugstore make music sound so much more lively and vibrant than these fancy earmuffs. To their credit, they do perform the noise cancelling aspect as well as most others, and are well designed and easy to store, but what good is that if the sound that they produce is muffled and terrible?

    I’ve only used these on plane flights so have no idea how they work in other uses. These are by far the best sub $200 noise canceling headphones. I’ve purchased 2 other sub-$100 brands and they were worthless. I’ve tried fellow passenger’s headphones from the big names in the field (you know who they are) and these worked as well as the better $200-$300 units I tried and better than some. I’ve now had friends and family members buy 5 sets and they all love them. On long plane flights these are much more comfortable than the on-the-ear type and the in-the-ear earbud type. Do they get rid of all the airplane sound?… no, but they make the flight MUCH more tolerable.

    I bought these over a year ago and I still use them regularly. The black padding is cracked in a couple places, but doesn’t impair its use in any way. I assume that I’ll get at least another 2+ years out of them.

    Its convenient having the volume control right on the headphones. When a song changes to another one that has a different volume, you don’t have to mess with the computer to adjust the sound.

    I haven’t found the sound canceling very useful, however. It actually backfires on some sounds, particularly construction/remodeling sounds. When a hammer strikes, the headphones make a loud-painful popping sound strait into your ears. I’ve found that it doesn’t cancel people’s voices very much either, if anything it makes them more clear by canceling everything else. When the canceling is activated, the headphones make a soft hissing sound and make your ears feel like their popping (similar to on an airplane, but not as strong). If you leave them on for long enough, the sound and pressure stop being a bother, but it doesn’t work very well having to keep turning it on and off. But even without the noise canceling, it can be hard to hear people talking to you if you’re not paying attention to them.

    The sound quality is better than the speakers on laptops, but I can’t compare it to other sound systems (due to lack of experience).

    Using for elongated time periods (above one or two hours) also causes your ears to be a little sore and sweaty from being pressed down.

    These headphones are good if you want simple-inexpensive over the ear headphones.
