Summary: Not for airplane travel 2008-10-27
Comment: I purchased this headphone set for my son at a local electronics store, and am sad to report that they charged me $69.99 for a rather disappointing set of headphones. With the first use, the headphones seemed to work well, blocking out most ambient noise in the room, but as soon as we boarded a plane, my son plugged the headphones into his IPOD, and reported that there was a constant buzzing/static noise coming through the headphones that got worse by turning the sound reduction on and slightly better by turning the noise-reduction feature off. We tested the headphones with two different IPODS, as well as the airline radio system and concluded that the headphones were getting interference from the plane. This static sound could not be blocked out by turning up the music, so the whole point of sound reduction was not achieved. We had much better sound just using our standard Ipod headphones while on the plane. I am going to return the headphones to the local store and purchase a pair from Amazon that has gotten an average of 5 by reviewers. Hope we have a better experience.

Summary: NOT satisfied 2007-10-21
Comment: I bought this product that it would have good quality, but no. There is a lot of background noise, which probably means poor materials. Also the noise canceling is weak. I can still hear a lot of noise in the background. I should have shelled out for a more expensive one.

Summary: Poor results, flimsy cord 2007-05-07
Comment: These headphones are lightweight and comfortable, and the cord is long enough, and they came with an airplane adapter included. These are the good things I can say.
Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good.
The cord is very thin and flimsy, and I'm afraid it would not last very long. I bought these at a store and they are going back. The noise cancellation does not work well. When you turn it on, a hissing noise starts, and the outside noise is not perceptibly diminished. In addition to normal household noise, I tested them with a violin playing in the same room, and they failed that test spectacularly.

Summary: not good 2007-01-11
Comment: I didn't notice a difference between puting them on and putting my hands over my ears.
Want one for cutting out/down the background noise of the TV so I can concentrate on reading. Don't want to listen to music, want to hear nothing/little so I can concentrate on what I'm doing, so I never tried listening to music through them.
Returned them.

Summary: Very comfortable but mediocre noise cancellation 2006-12-27
Comment: Here is my review on these inexpensive headphones after one 3 hour flight:
ADVANTAGES:
- Quality build and good materials
- Very comfortable over the ear design with large earcups. I'm sure you can use them for 10+ hours without pain, since there is no pressure on the ears.
- Lightweight
- Folds to a compact size and stores in an included leatherette bag
- Sound quality seems good although I'm not an audiophile to make a good judgement on this
- Only little hissing when noise cancellation is on (the Bose don't have any hissing by the way)
- Headphones even work without noise cancellation in passive mode (some other brands don't)
DISADVANTAGES:
- Noise cancellation is not very good. It does drown out very low frequencies on the airplane but you can still hear the jet engines and everything else. I tried the Bose QC2 and QC3 on a trip and their noise cancellation works much better. When you activate the Bose noise cancellation you get this numbing sensation and everything is calm and quiet. With these there is only a slight change in the noise, but enough of a change to make the engine noise less annoying.
- Since the noise cancellation isn't very good and they hiss, they're not something to use in the office to drown out background noise (again, the Bose are very good for that).
So overall I'm pleased, mainly because of the comfort and low price (you can get 10 of these for one Bose!). I tried several other brands and returned them because they were either uncomfortable, had ineffective noise cancellation or were too expensive.
