Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Targus AWM02US Active Noise-Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Serves its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
Very useful product, reasonable price and it serves its purpose. My co-worker had a pair and let us try it for comfort. Felt good so I bought 1 for me. The co-worker who already had a pair wanted another pair along with a another co-worker who had bought an expensive German brand previously, but returned it. I ended up purchasing 3 for my family. All of us are very satisfied with the purchase.
Bought a more expensive pair of headphones from COSTCO, but I returned them, they were too uncomfortable (too tight- pressed my ears to my head and I don't have a big head). Thought more expensive would mean a better product, WRONG.
Bought my husband a pair of Sony headphones, he likes them, but for me and my boys the Targus is much more comfortable we like the cup headphones doesn't press your ears to your head.
For the price can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Probably the best headphones under $100 for airline travel
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought and tried several higher-priced, name-brand competitors headphones to hear which ones actually cancelled out background noise. If you buy, try and compare you have a better chance of getting what you expect. The others that I tried had NO DISCERNABLE noise cancellation and/or, did not have sufficient volume for use within an airplane cabin. While this one lacks an auto-off switch, which can save batteries, and has no remote volume control, it works great at noise cancellation. I wouldn't argue that it has audiophile fidelity, but if you want to watch a movie on your computer, this makes it possible.Customer Review: hissing may not be the problem of the headphone
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first tried this headphone, I almost returned it because I heard hissing in the background. But then I used another regular headphone, I heard the same. Lesson learned: although sometime I can't hear hissing from the speakers, it could be picked up by the headset... Another problem I had with this headset is that I sweat a lot and this one just make my ears too warm...Customer Review: OK, but not very impressive
Summary: 3 Stars
I am used to quality products from Targus but this did not do it for me. The headphones were quite comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I listened to audio lectures for upto 7 hours a day and nevere had any problems wearing them for such long periods.
The noise cancellation was well below my expectations, thye did cut down the noise but not by much. You get what you pay for I suppose. The biggest problem I had was that when I listened to something with these headphones people around me could hear it too. Not very helpful for me as I study at the library most of the time. People around you can hear everything you are listening to. I also tried a cheaper pair of Maxell noise cancelling headphones which were about the same performance-wise. With the Maxell headphones the sound did not leak out, so people around me could not hear what I was listening to. Noise-cancelling-wise, these were a little better than the Maxell headphones.
One strage thing I noticed was that whenever I used these while studying in the university library and turned on the noise-cancelling, I started to hear some radio talk show station. strange!! the headphones were actually picking up radio waves!! not much fun when u are trying to cancel out noise. Also on one side the copper wires were exposed!! wouldnt recommend buying them. I replaced with the Sennheiser 202 from Amazon for $20. even though the sennheisers are not noise-cancelling, they do a better job in blockin out the noise because they fit tightly around the ears.
Customer Review: Decent sound but poor quality..
Summary: 3 Stars
I got these at staples with a rebate for a great price. The sound quality is ok for the price, but soon after the headphones began falling apart. first the cover to the battery compartment kept falling off until I put some scotch tape to hold it in place.Then one of the earpiece came apart because the pin holding them fell out. And this with light use I never took them out of my house. Now i have returned them to Targus hoping they will replace them. If you paid full price this is not a good deal since these headphones are poorly built.
