Product Description
The AH-NC600 in-ear headphones from Denon provide high-quality audio and up to a 99% reduction in ambient noise in a compact and lightweight design. The headphones feature Denons Acoustic Optimizer technology which balances pressure on either side of the diaphragm for a rich natural tone. Compressed Audio Restorer (CAR) circuitry helps to restore the fullness of your compressed digital audio tracks.The headphones use active noise cancellation technology combined with a secure in-ear fit to block out ambient noise allowing you to focus on your music. A pair of foam eartips and 3 sizes of soft silicon eartips allow you to find the best fit for comfort and stability. The oxygen-free cable features Radial Cascade Damper technology to reduce friction noise and has a detachable extension cable for additional slack. The gold-plated 3.5mm plug and included airplane adapter allow you to connect to MP3 players CD players in-flight entertainment systems and more. The headphones operate on a single AAA battery and include a hard carrying case.
Comment: The ear buds fit nicely and the noise canceling works, but the build quality is disappointing. The box connected to the headphones makes a hissing noise when turned on and feels very cheap. The sound is clear and has a precise bass but everything else is awful. I don't recommend these ear buds because you can find better for half the price.

Summary: 99% Disappointed! 2009-10-26
Comment: Made of cheap and thin plastic. On/Off button is so loose that it rattles. Battery compartment door really difficult to open. It's so flimsy and ill-fitting that I almost broke it trying to open it for the first time. Tried noise cancelling effect on a turbo-prop plane, on a normal jet plane, and on the train. There is some minimal noise reduction but it comes at a price: The noise gets replaced by a powerful hissing that sounds as though you suddenly switch from your MP3 player to a radio with bad reception. I don't expect the stunning noise cancelling effect that my Bose QC3 has -- but still: Absoultely disappointing. Not worth the money at one thenth of the price. Would have given 0 starts if possible.
