(More customer reviews)I hate to give these 1 star because they could have been much better:
The band on these headphones is the worst piece of junk I have ever seen. Ok now that I got that out of my system.... I bought these in the main lobby of an airport. After passing through security and into the departure area I excitedly unpacked them so I could try them on the flite. They immediately broke when I tried to put them on. Fortunately the dealer had an outlet in the departures area so I got a replacement. I tried to put the second pair on very gently and they also broke. I didn't have enought time to return the second set because the plane was bording. The force it took to break them was equivalent to breaking a toothpick (very serious). I fixed them (with black electrical tape) and then rapped electrical tape around every joint and they are solid now. Electrically they are very good with great active noise cancelling and decent sound. I'm using Bose Quiet Comfort II's at work and these are about 80% of the Bose at 1/8th the cost. The sound is pleasant with a warm bass and transparent highs although a little brittle sounding. The Bose QC's have a cleaner sound and slightly better passive noise cancelling but the active noise cancelling is similar.
It's to bad the Coby's are mechanically so bad. After reinforcing mine they're ok now and the band is much stiffer so they also have better passive noise cancelling (noise seal) but forget about adjustments and collapsability which didn't concern me anyway.I use them to listen to a small Sony FM radio while commuting on the buss instead of the Bose QC's from work. They have a detachable cord using standard mini-phone plugs which is great, they still work when the noice cancellation is turned off (the Bose don't) and they are super light and comfortable. If you buy them they will break!!! I give them a 4 for electrical performance and a 1 for mechanical quality.
Unfortunately most people are not going to be happy repairing a broken product and they should NOT have to, so they would be better advised investing they're money in something else.
