ABLE PLANET NC300W True Fidelity Around-the-Ear Active Noise Canceling Headphones (White)

And I don't want to. These headphones kick ass. They come in a nice semi-hard case with quart-pin converter, mono-split converter, a battery, and a very lengthy audio connector with a volume control. All of which fits into the case including the headphones with enough room for a 160gb iPod classic.
The set up for these headphones is awesome.
The sound quality is amazing.
They work without the battery power controlled by a little switch like normal over the ear headies.
The battery boost adds a significant amount of overall equalizer amplification.
They do an excellent job with the noise cancellation.
DON'T WEAR THEM WHILE CROSSING THE STREET!
Plus, the detachable wire/cable allows for easy de-tangling in addition to allowing you replace just wire instead of assuming the entirety of headphone is broken.
Overall, these headphones rule. I hope this review helped.

These headphones are great! They are constructed well, very comfortable, and worth the price. I wanted to address some things mentioned in previous reviews. Some people were skeptical because of the "hissing sound" when noise cancellation is turned on. First off, you cannot hear the "hissing sound" when listening to music...and if you visited the Able Planet site, you will find out that it is a part of the Linx noise canceling technology. However, this noise is a bit annoying when I watch movies on my computer, because there is no continuous audio (ie the characters are not always talking), therefore the hissing sound becomes prominent at points. I use this product everyday for 8 hours, and they remain comfortable, but sometimes I have to give my ears a breather because they understandably get hot. I was surprised at how soft the gray cushions are...the pictures do not do it justice, they are similar to memory foam. I was very skeptical when I bought these, but I am very happy...Read more

Good:

1) The noise canceling works great - they block out almost all mid to low range frequencies and much of the high frequency background noise.
2) They are very comfortable to wear. I probably use mine for 5 hours a day without a problem.
3) The aux cable disconnects at both ends which is really great because if the cord gets caught on something while youre walking the adapter at the end won't break/bend (this has happened to me twice)
4) Decent bass and sound clarity is pretty good too...

Bad:

1) The battery doesn't last as long as I would like it to, but still a long time. Mine probably works for a good 20-30 hours maybe
2) The sound leaks out so that if theres anyone else in the room they can hear what you're listening to

Overall, I would still DEFINITELY RECOMMEND these headphones. The goods far outweigh the bads. Trust me you'll be pretty happy. Fast shipping too...
