 These are good August 18, 2008
These are really nice headphones. They come with a real nice travel pack as an add on. The first time you put them on, you really plug out most of the noises. There is a switch which is conveniently located on the left side and when you switch it on, it really dampens all sounds. I have used it for reading books right beside the swimming pool where children were making all kind of noises, and i was not disturbed a bit.
I have not had a chance to use the battery on long stretch so dont know how long will it last, mostly because I dont feel the need to turn it on often.
I tried the sony and the bose noise cancelling head phones as well. I really can not tell the difference between all of these. And provided that these were 20 bucks less than the sony's and 180 less than the Bose, I really didnt think twice.
Why 4 stars? Well I wear glasses, so they do exert some pressure around your ear so that it gets a little uncomfortable over long sessions. Also, there is a little bit sound leakage, but not very prominent. You can hear it only if you concentrate on the sound source. I guess other headphones will be better in that aspect, but it really is not worth thinking that much about.
Amazing headphones but a little smelly out of the box? August 18, 2008
Like all of the other reviews, these are very high quality headphones with great sound. The noise canceling works as well as Bose's Quiet Comfort system, if not better.
However, the one major thing I will add to all these reviews is that these headphones are terribly smelly right out of the box! They come inside their carrying case, and when I opened my case up it smelt like a mix of cigarette smoke and industrial chemicals. Very surprising! I would have returned them if the smell persisted, but after a couple days of sitting out of the case and leaving the case open, the smell went away.
Overall amazing headphones, a great value, but the initial smell grossed me out enough to give these only 4 out of 5 stars.
 Really Great Product! August 18, 2008
These are great noise cancelling headphones, and at a very good price. I make long flights on a regular basis, and have used these at least 30 times in the past 18 months. The over-the-ear fit is quite good, and they are very comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.
Sound quality is also quite good, although that was a secondary consideration to the noise-cancelling capability. They are very well made, and the carrying case works well. I am a male with a large head, and I have no problem with fit. The ear pads are very soft and supple.
I bought a second set for my wife, and she is very happy with her set, also.
Grest product August 17, 2008
Great product for hundreds less than Bose with equql performance. I used it on Hawaii trip is it worked fantastic.
 Great sound but comfort issues. August 17, 2008
Pros:
1. Excellent neutral bass. The Bose QC2 has bass that is a little muddy.
2. Excellent noise cancelling.
3. Very good construction and packaging.
4. Works when the battery is dead.
5. Excellent value for the price.
Cons:
1. Small ear cups make them hot and sweaty.
2. Too much pressure and the ear cups caused my ears to hurt after an hour or so. The pressure is non-adjustable.
I own a pair of QC2's but had to return these because they were just too uncomfortable. They might work for you if you have small ears. If they fix the comfort issues they would be superior to the Bose QC2.
