Mid-size Noise Canceling Headphones

Bought these Jensen JNC50 Noise Canceling Collapsible Headphones (Silver) about 5 years ago and they are still going strong. I don't use them all the time but I can be hard on things when I throw them in a bag with books and keys. The fold-up hinges have stood up to my abuse.

I use them on the subway because you can't hear any but the loudest music over the roar of the train. It does the job.

I've tried several different brands of noise canceling headphones and some are better than others. I picked up this Jensen product because my "more expensive" headphones got broken on my last trip. I really only intended to use them once then I was going to fix or replace my originals.

They are comfortable and do a good job of filtering out the drone of the aircraft engine. The adaptor for the airplane audio system fit perfectly. The headphones fold up nicely for storage.

The bottom line as far as I'm concerned is that I wish I would have known about these headphones before I spent the money on my "good set". Great headphones for way less money.

I love these noise canceling headphones and I love their price. They are exactly what I wanted. I plan to buy a second pair for my son.
