Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these off ebay on a whim (they were dirt cheap there), but after I got them, I realized why they were so cheap.
Pros:
* Decent noise cancellation - the background noise is noticably reduced, and the music seems noticably louder
* Reasonable batter life - I've had a AAA cell in there for more than 10 hours, and the battery is still doing fine.
Cons:
* Very noticable "white noise" - a hissing sound when noise cancellation is turned on.This is not noticable when playing music, but quite noticable when in pure noise-cancelling mode.
* Bad design - not foldable for storage
* Bad design for use on airplanes, since the band goes behind the head (around the neck) - makes the headsets ununable if you've got a pillow under your neck, or are planning to use them lying down anywhere
* The headsets don't work without the battery - even if noise cancellation is switched off
* The on-off switch is quite hard to operate - often takes a minute of struggling to turn off or on - due to it being a sliding switch with hardly any grip available to push it either way.
* Ears start aching due to the pressure on them within a couple of minutes.
* The cord is really short in real terms - at least 2' more would have been useful.
Bottom line - they're OK if you got them for a couple of $s (like I did off ebay), but no way are they worth $37 or more that they actually cost.
