Decent choice for the money

 

Decent choice for the money

In it's price class, these headphones kinda do the trick. The noise cancelling feature is shoddy at best. I was borrowing some open ear Aiwa HP-CN5 and I wish I'd have spent the extra money. I would highly recommend the Aiwa's over these. Trust me when...

The product is great for when I mow the grass. The John Deere lawn mower makes plenty of noise, but I can put these headphones on and it cuts out most of the noise. Plus, I like the behind the neck design because it doesn't lay on top of my boonie...

Poor design, great sound

 

Poor design, great sound

I bought these headphones for my pc and have to say that they are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever had. The sound quality, however, was great--though not enough to deal w/ the comfort issue. I will be returning them.

Great earphones

 

Great earphones

The earphones I purchased are the best earphones under $100 that I know of, and I use them to make a living. I could not find them at any electronics store, but naturally I found them on the net, specifically Amazon.

Get quality sound with uncomfortable ears

-- Sound quality: It is a decent product if you use on airplanes. It does indeed cancel all that noise of the plane. If you use them in a noisy environment, such as a coffee shop, you definitely see a difference, but it is not like you are sound...

Many bad qualities

 

Many bad qualities

Apparently this product is discontinued, but you can use the reviews here as a guide on what not to buy in the future. Buyer beware and all that. I too found the noise canceling nonexistent. Apparently it works for some units in some instances and...
