I bought these headphones because of upcoming 7 hr charter flight to Canada. Recent experience of freebie headphones on long haul was very unsatisfactory. The JVC HA-NC80 - Noise Cancelling Foldable Headphones worked very well, reducing the aircraft noise down to a very low level. There was some residual noise, but it was not intrusive. Audio from the movie sound track was very clear, as was music from the audio channels.
Included was a good quality adapter (Would have cost nearly £5 at airport) for aircraft seats with two pin socket.
The electronics store at Gatwick was selling these headphones at a significantly higher price. This Amazon purchase goes down as one of the best ever.

we found the earphones comfortable, the sound for watching a film during the flight was good, they do block out some of the aircraft noise and a large amount of surrounding noise, so all in all we are happy with the product.
they are not as good as the equivalent BOSE earphones but then, they are not as expensive either.
unfortunately, the description did not mention that the pack includes aircraft adapters so we unnecessarily purchased a set of those separately.

They may not be Bose, but these headphones offer really good noise reduction for the price. Nice carry pouch too.
They're great for general use, but really come into their own on flights. I wouldn't go back to using standard headphones on a flight having experienced the joy of noise reduction.
This is our second set, having been really impressed with the first set we bought for our teenage son a year ago. His are still in full working condition so they must be pretty robust too.

Headphones excellent. They do they job efficiently, you can really fell a difference when you turn on the noise reduction option. They do look a bit funny though, when you put them on they look kind of large on the sides. Not the most attractive headphones out there, but as they fit their purpose I am happy with it.

Well normally I don't write reviews but do take the advantage of customer feedback when purchasing items on Amazon.
So this time as I was so impressed with these little gems, I though I'd better let you know.
As I travel quite a lot, I decided to invest in a decent pair of noise cancelling headphones, The main reason is I'm just fed up with the constant shouting from the air stewardess selling total rubbish like duty frees and lottery tickets (if you travel with RyanAir you'll know what I mean) . So do they work? Yep it does what it says on the tin..... It has a 2 setting switch "wide" and "low" mode, which cancels the type of noise typically found in a jet cabin. I also found the closed earpiece very comfortable for at least 3 hours - plenty long enough to watch a good film. I used it with my Archos media player which is a must especially on Thomas Cook flights because anything under 4 hours they have withdrawn in-flight entertainment.
Ok they may not be the best on the market but for the price you wont go wrong - some of the reviews state save your money and get a more expensive pair but I think they were def' worth the money,. Comes with a nice little carry pouch as well..........

As regular headphones go, these are fine - good sound quality, easy to transport due to the folding frame and the pouch that they come with.
However, I've tested them in a variety of different environments - on a train, on the underground, and my workplace (where I'm surrounded by machines that churn away all day). They do reduce extraneous noise due to the constructiuon of the earpads (which cover then entire ear), but I can't hear any discernible difference between the signal I receive with the noise cancellation feature switched on, and the one I receive when it's turned off.
These are the first noise cancelling headphones I've ever bought - are there any readers who could recommend a pair which does the job more effectively without costing an extortionate amount of money? I'd be very grateful if so.

Good build quality, and good non boomy sound quality, especially for the price these do well on sound.
Noise reduction at this price/range level is basic, and whilst it does do SOME REDUCTION , it is about 25% as effective as top of the range, if you want strong noise reduction you need to be looking at £ 150 + phones, like Audio Technica or BOSE or Sony 5000 model.
If you want close to audiophile sound and good NR, then look at Sennheiser PCX350 / 450 , these offer the best sound for this type of phone, however NOT the best noise reduction, again Bose / AT / Sony offer the best NR without any shadow of a doubt. ( My personal Favourite is Audio Technica 7 , NR as good as BOSE , but better sound quality ( less artificial ) and cost < 50% of BOSE price. )
Having head BOSE / Audio Technica , I can safely say these are no where near as good, neither in sound quality of noise reduction, however, they still have their purposes, and for a low cost NR phone they are much better than the non branded alternatives.
If you want to spend a bit more, the Goldring NS1000 phones are better for NR.
If you can spend around £ 150 the Audio Technica / Sony are unbeatable for NR and high end sound.
Conclusion: These JVCs are ok, not bad, offer a little NR and no problem with audio quality.....for the price, they are decent and much better than not having a NR phone at all.....
To sum up, these are 75% of BOSE quality, for 15% of the price.

Very good value
Perfect for travelling - no problem for people sitting next to you. Does exactly what it should, though would benefit from own volume control.

the headphone are a bit tight on the ears, suppose with being new, why do we have to write a certain amount of words?
