iLuv I901 High-Performance Noise Canceling Headphones

 (13 customer reviews)

Decent sound quality although I have noticed some slight buzz when no sound. There is pretty good noise isolation from the pads even without the canceling switched on. Not super comfortable for long wear, the band across the top of the head has a plastic pivot for the hinge and tends to sit right on the top of your head with no padding. Also the plastic on the head band/hinge feels a little cheap, I will be interested to see how long they hold up...
*Update* Buzzing only happens when plugged into a PC. With iPod or speakers sound is more than adequate.

These are my first, so I really don't know how they compare to other noise cancelling headphones. What I can say, is that they reduce ambient noise noticeably, enough for me to work in a loud office without hearing my co-workers when the music is on. They are comfortable on me, but I do have a small head. I could see how they could be uncomfortably snug on anyone larger. They fold nicely, and they look pretty solid.

The sound quality and the size is fine if you just want to listen to your tunes with them. The bad thing is that when you turn the "sound cancelling" thing on, there is a very noticeable hum. Are they trying to conceal the outside noise with inside noise???!!!
