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 can still hear train announcements and people talking to me, but it blocks out the roar enough to hear my audiobooks and music clearly -- although I still need to crank the volume.

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.
I used the Jensens on a six hour flight and I was suprised to discover that they were every bit as good as the set I paid nearly 4 times the money for. 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. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Mid-size Noise Canceling Headphones (Electronics) 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. |
