Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Targus AWM02US Active Noise-Canceling Headphones
Customer Review: Good for the price - needs a volume control
Summary: 3 Stars
I was very surprised at the noise canceling capability of these earphones. The big drawback is that there is no volume control on the earphones so you are dependent on the devices (or worse yet the airline seat control) for volume adjustment. My PDA/MP3 player's volume resolution is very poor so the sound is either too loud or too soft. However as strict noise canceling, at least in airplanes, they seem to work very well.Customer Review: Targus NC Headphones
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay headphone for cheap NC. Upgraded to the Bose once the cord wore out on these after 5 or 6 months.
They are inexpensive for a reason.
Customer Review: "Active" noise cancellation, about as active as my pet rock.
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a college student. I bought these headphones so that I could study when the neighbors are playing loud music or when my roommates are chatting in the living room. As "noise canceling headphones" they are a total disappointment. There is no effect on my neighbor's bass. I can hear cars driving past my window; I can hear the TV in the other room at normal and even low levels. I can even hear a paper clip drop on my floor, and I have carpet! There is some muffling of outside sounds due to them covering your ears, but when the "active noise cancellation" is turned on there is a pop and then some low level white noise, but outside sounds are not any less audible than with it turned off. These things don't work any better than letting my hair down over my ears. They work fine for listening to music, the sound is good, just no noise cancellation.Customer Review: Loved them, until they broke!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I absolutely sang the praises of these earphones. The noise cancellation on airplanes is amazing. I couldn't have been happier...until
Last 5 hour flight to Hawaii, I open them up and realize that the tiny pieces of plastic that hold them together to rotate, 3 out of the 4 pieces were broken. Only one was in my bag. So, two had previously broken off and gone by the wayside. I spent the whole ride having to search for this tiny piece of black plastic the size of a grain of rice every time it fell out.
They have a year warranty and I have owned them for about a year and two months. You really let me down this time Targus.
Customer Review: Breaks easily
Summary: 2 Stars
I was happy with the noise canceling features, not the best but definitely works. Great for airplane rides - really helps cut out that background engine noise. My problem however with these headphones hwoever is the design - the first set i had brok near the earpiece hinge and was replaced by Targus (cheers to them). the second set broke too in a different place - the deisgn of these just isn't very sturdy. I'm gentle with my stuff too, so either I had bad luck w/two defective units or they're just not made well.
