5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised! 8 Feb 2010
By markcanz
I bought these earphones after reading a number of good reviews on amazon.com (US). Must say I was very pleasantly surprised. Noise cancellation was better than I expected. Flew round the world recently (~48 hours flying time) and battery is still going strong. In the past I have found the headphones supplied on the plane can be uncomfortable for extended periods (particularly as I wear glasses) but had no such problems with these. I even kept them on when I was sleeping. This is my first pair of noise cancelling earphones so I can't compare with other makes/models, but I feel these are very good value for money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair 24 Sep 2010
By Nicola
Amazon Verified Purchase
Please note that these headphones reduce low frequency sound only, so talking, external radio etc. will barely sound different (I didn't realise this before I bought them).

The ear pieces are quite comfortable, although strange to push them so far into you ear.

The low frequency reduction is quite good, the packaging quotes 88%.

The quality of sound when using them to listen to music is fair. I compared them to my 20 year old in ear walkman headphones and the old set had much better sound quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cone of silence 2 Mar 2010
By Cheong Koo
You never know how quiet it really is until you put on the earphones and turn it on. Its like a "cone of silence".

How does it rate? Well, it does work. I've put it on at home with a noisy aquarium pump behind me and it blocks out most of the noise. On a train to work, it cuts off most of the air-condition and low frequency noise. The feeling when turning it on is like having a cone of silence lowered over your head. Its amazing. We just don't realise how much noise is around us.

Comfortable: Its quite comfortable. You need to push it into your ear and it sits there comfortably. Just make sure that it seals your ears properly.

Frequency response: Its so so. One of the reasons that I'm not giving it 5 stars. Since I listen mainly to speech and audio books, I'm happy with the performance but for those who are into hifi music, I don't think that its that good.

Conclusion: For the price and if you listen mainly to audio books, its good. If you are into hifi music, it may not suite you.

Value, easy to use, and most importantly the noise-cancelling function is very useful on the street, it can block all engine noise from the car and most from heavy vehicle and bus. Read more

Worked really well at first. Noise cancelling works well and you get no annoying noise feed back if you touch things etc. Unlike other noise cancelling earphones. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Average headphones with noise reduction
Besides that my headphones broke after a few hours of usage by producing a crackling sound in the left earpiece, they have been working well. Not spectacular, not bad either. Read more
