Creative HN-605 Noise-Canceling Headphones

I had a set of Noise canceling headphones that broke, and I came across this set. I was weary at first given the low price, but decided to get them anyway.



I was really surprised when I received the headphones, the form factor is great, the AAA battery fits right on to the, not very bulky, headset, and not as an attachment to the Cable as in a lot of other headsets. The carrying pouch was nice as well.



The sound quality is actually very good for the price, although I'd say that the bass can be a bit high at times, though that can be easily fixed with an auto equalizer that can be found in most mp3 players. The Noise canceling works as I have seen in other headsets, and will filter out most but not "all" of surrounding noise.



Overall, I'm VERY happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

This is my second pair. The first one worn out after 7 years of use. I use it mainly when I took long flights to Asia. I get on the plane, connect the headphone to my mp3(sansa clip 2gb), turn on the noise cancellation feature and immense into my music world til the plane landed. The noise cancellation usually block out 90% of the noise. The earpiece is fairly comfortable even I leave it on for over 10 hrs. It sure make my long trip a lot bearable. The AAA battery for the noise cancellation last about 13-14 hours. My sansa clip runs out of power( about 10 hrs for a full charge) before the battery. There may be better headphone on the market. But for this price I couldn't complaint at all.

These noise-reduction headphones were recommended at a workshop focusing on individuals who are on the autism spectrum. Because of the design (with the band that facilitates a non-slip fit), and it's ability to attenuate ambient noise, some of my clients have opted to wear these headphones to help them stay calm and organized within a range of environments. Knowing that these headphones are available for under $40.00, I was able purchase a set for clients to borrow while in-house, and have recommended them to families for personal use. Another positive is that they can be used with an MP-3. One potential draw-back, depending on the users sensitivity, is that the ear cups do not necessarily completely surround the ear.
