Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Targus AWM02US Active Noise-Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Satisfied and Happy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 3 sets of Targus Headphones in 2007 and used them on several air trips, including 16+ hours to Guam. My wife likes her set. My mother also likes hers, and she wore them on a 24 hour trip to Africa.
The Headphones cancel the noise. They are comfortable to wear, even while sleeping.
I listened to a set of Bose headphones, and I couldn't hear any difference in the amount of noise reduction, as compared to the Targus set.
I have used them to listen to a training course via my laptop, while flying --- the audio came across very clear. Same thing while listening to airline-pilot chatter during flights.
I'm happy and satisfied. MGM - Tulsa
Customer Review: the noise cancellation is like magic
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought these with limited expectations, as i didn't spend much and figured that would correlate with the performance. boy was i wrong - on a recent plane trip, the noise canceling and good performance made listening to my ipod a truly new experience. i have never been able to listen to jazz on a plane, but norah sounded great. on the return flight, i just put them on with no player and switched on the canceling to cut the noise and make it easier to relax. i can't recommend these strongly enough - it's truly amazing! buy it and be good to yourself.Customer Review: Item works well and the price I paid ($20 at Best Buy) was right
Summary: 5 Stars
These work great on an airplane as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. They're well worth the $20 I paid for them. I'm a bit confused as to why they are priced so much higher here.
The only thing I don't like is that the battery compartment/switch is really in an awkward place right there partway up the cord. Particularly if you want to wear the phones while you're out walking around. It would be much better, say, on top or, perhaps, with one battery in each earpiece.
Customer Review: Good deal
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the headphones at a great price, less than 1/3 what I paid in a retail store to buy my first pair. The noise reduction is quite good. I wouldn't personally spend hundreds of dollars for "top of the line" when this set works just fine, in my opinion.Customer Review: Favorite tutorial headphones
Summary: 4 Stars
I have recently been working a lot with video tutorials on my desktop and have both this headset and a Bose QC3 headset. I've worked with both and have found that I actually enjoy the Targus one better for this application. The area where I work has a lot of mechanical noise or background noises, Targus set does a great job at eliminating these sounds. However if you're an audiophile or in the market for great music headphones I love the QC3's for that!
Pros:
- Headset works with or without the active noise cancellation (when the battery dies the sound doesn't).
- Ear cups that envelope the ear provide additional isolation from the world around you.
- Padding of ear cups and band allow for a comfortable wear over a period of several hours.
- Folds in on itself for easy storage.
- Rugged construction has survived many trips in overhead compartments and in my laptop bags.
- Long battery life.
Cons:
- Standard non-rechargeable batteries, takes 2 AAA's (unless you buy a rechargeable battery set).
- Cord length is too short while working at my desktop.
- Location of noise cancellation switch is about mid cord length. I've found this to get in the way on several occasions.
- For those with larger than normal ears ear cups may be uncomfortable.
- No volume control (however my QC3's don't have that feature either).
