Good headphones if you don't use the noise cancelling,

Well, the headphones I have are RCA noise cancelling 40mm "Dynamic Sound" Noise cancelling and look a little different from the picture because they are all black.
The pair I have, all that the noise cancelling switch does on these headphones is turn on a background white noise that sounds kind of like constant ocean waves. Not what I was expecting and I got the impression that if you listen this noise for a long time it would drive me crazy and could potentially damage hearing listening to the same pitch that long. Not to mention it covers up the music.
Anyway, I just leave the switch turned off and they sound good. If you are looking for some nice sounding headphones for listening at home they seem good for the money. If you are looking for noise-cancelling (aka: white noise) I'd probably try something else.

ok first off these cheap things dont even noise cancel, i took them on a 8 hour flight and i could hear everthing! the sound quality isn't very good and i don't care for it at all what so ever! i prefer the Bose Acoustic 2 headphones.
