Customer Review: Excellent Noise Reduction
Summary: 4 Stars
Comfortable, excellent noise reduction, good sound. The noise reduction switch in the middle of a long cord can present a problem of where to put the cord when you are walking around doing things.Customer Review: Satisfied
Summary: 4 Stars
These do exactly what I expected them to do. Since parents these days don't believe in controlling their children's noise volume on planes...I can control their volume with the touch of a button.Customer Review: Giving good sounds

I got these with my Pepsi points. THey work great. 2 aaa batteries helps take out some of the background noises around you.
They are comfortable to wear.
Customer Review: Good value for money

These headphone are a great value for the money. They work well and certainly help on long flights etc...Customer Review: Nice headphones, but you get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had these headphones for about a year now, and can honestly say they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. The noise canceling feature works pretty well, and the sound quality is reasonable.
If you are picky at all about the linearity of the sound range though, you will be disapointed. When the noise canceling is off, I would say they sound the best, but has a moderate lack of bass, and when the noise canceling is on, they lack trebel. There is no way to get the best of both worlds unless you have a graphic EQ on whatever device you are playing the music with, (ie. a PC with Windows Media Player). If you are using an iPod, the preset EQ modes are insufficient.
The noise canceling is significant though, so if you are traveling in a noisy vehicle a lot, the benefit of noise canceling far exceeds the sound quality issue. In all, they are worth the price. If they were $100, definately not worth it.
One of my co-workers has a pair of Sony noise canceling headphones with a handy button on the side that shuts down the music so you can listen to someone that walks up and starts talking to you. They have MUCH better sound quality, and equivalent noise reduction. However, they are $150...so bottom line: you get what you pay for.
