Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works just as described - I'm quite happy with them!
I read a lot of reviews for the dozen or so noise-canceling earbuds available on the market. One thing I knew I didn't want was the large over-ear headphones. I'm a traveling professional who leaves town every other week. Size and weight are important in my pack as I carry a couple books, a couple files, a folio, a laptop, power cords, a slim camera, a microphone, a recorder, an extra laptop battery (for long flights), an external floppy disk drive, business cards, office supplies... you get the ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Outstanding and comfy
I was never really happy with my JVC noise canceling cans. The noise canceling was reasonable (for forty bucks especially) but there was always a distinct hum when they were on and they only cut out a narrow band of low jet rumble. The comfort for plane use was marginal as it is for all cans. After a while they all leave me feeling clammy around the ears. Also hard to find a comfortable position for sleeping. On a whim i bought these ear buds.

Outstanding!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - best of both worlds?
I've tried many noise cancellation earphones in the past for my long flights. From the expensive Bose QuietComfort to the cheaper alternative Sennheiser PXC250. I've given up on both because of their bulk, not only are they a hassle to carry around, but also makes it hard for me to rest my head on my pillow on the plane. Then I tried the IEM (in-ear-monitor) earphones and have stuck with those until I saw these on sale. I figured I should be able to get the best of both: active noise cancellation ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GOODBYE SONY MDR-NC22
The SONY name has been a symbol for reliability, innovation and quality. Not any more. I purchased the MDR-NC22 for their obvious feature, active-noise cancelling. Upon receiving the product I fist took visual note that these pricey pairs didn't even include a hard case ( that's one up for Audio Technica). I've purchased $20 pairs from SONY and they came with a hard case design to roll up the headphone cable.

The MDR-NC22 did not have symmetrical headphone cable design. In layman's terms ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Save yourself the hassle...
Got 'em for my iPhone. Returned them (less 20% stocking fee) because of the interference noise. Interestingly, they sucked at noise cancellation too. Run, don't walk in another direction.

The vendor told me that they don't normally do refunds (even with the restocking fee). This is an additional AMAZON DEFICIENCY because it is really hard to find the return policy for associate vendors. AMAZON, make the policy easier for consumers to see!!
