| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Good sound - poor design
While these headphones sound good, they're poorly designed and will eventually fall apart. To use the noise cancelling feature, there is a switch which you must remember to turn off or your batteries will die. After a year of normal use, the left earpiece fell off and the hinge mechanism for the batteries broke. It's all being held together with glue and rubber bands now! | 2 | 801 days ago | Nice, but...
These headphones are relatively inexpensive, the noise cancellation feature works well (although I get the sensation of a vacuum being drawn around my ear), and the accoustics are good.
<br />
<br />However, when I hook up the headphones to my PC's CD jack, I get occasional static shocks to my right ear. These aren't painful, but are distracting enough to limit my enjoyment (I start anticipating them).

I travel once to twice every month and I want to buy a pair of good noise-cancelling headphones so that I can listen to my iPod or get some rest.
<br />
<br />First, I tried a Sony NC50 at a Sony Style store. The NC50 put out so much accoustic pressure to my ears and it really hurt. Then, I tried Sennheiser PXC-250, PXC-300, and Bose QuietComfort 2 extensively. First time, I brought both PXC-250 and PXC-300 to a trip from San Diego to Newark. There is no significant performance difference in terms of noise cancelling. The PXC-300 has a better case. Then, on my next trip, I borrowed a Bose QuietComfort 2 from a colleague of mine and compared it with PXC-300. After extensively testing (with and without music, with and without background people talking, and etc.), I found it is about 20-30% less of noise with Bose. Also, my ears felt warm and uncomfortable after 30 min with PXC-300 because of the over-the-ear style.
<br />
<br />I understand everyone else's comment on Bose being over-priced, but if you are looking for the best noise-cancelling performance on an airplane, unfortunately there is no other way around it. Bose is certainly the best. | 3 | 801 days ago | Sound good, designed poorly
My brother bought these for me and as someone else pointed out, if you forget to turn off the noise cancellation switch you drain your batteries: this has happened to me a few times. I also hate how bulky the noise cancellation battery pack is: it weighs you down and causes tons of tangles when I am at my computer. I find them comfortable and have great sound, and considering how much I use them they have held up well, but they seem overpriced to me. I'd personally rather have bigger, comfortable headphones unless space is an issue, where I'd probably prefer some earbuds. | 3 | 801 days ago | Good for Traveler at reasonable price
Ok guys. You can spend 300 bucks or so and fill your carry-on or briefcase but this is just fine. I travel to Asia, S.Amer and Europe with this thing and it is a good value with good quality. Not the best headphone in the world but it is Excellent for a traveler and I recommend it. Good for movies, ipod and just getting rid of jet engine hum.

<br />Buy a couple velcro cable organizers to manage the cables when you put them away. I use them while I'm using them too to keep excess wire out of my way. | 4 | 801 days ago |
