These noise cancelers aren't as compact as the AKGs, but they provide excellent noise reduction, with 20- to 30-dB reductions throughout most of the range. Passive noise reduction is effective in the higher end, and the active circuit does a good job...

Inexpensive ; Comfortable ear cups ; Convenient fold-up design ; Autoretracting 1.5-meter cord ; Solid sound quality

Noise-cancellation feature affects only lower frequencies ; A bit weak on bass

As for the headphones themselves, we found sound quality to be decent overall. Bass response seemed a little weak, and during quiet music passages, we could occasionally detect a bit of the hiss produced by the active circuit, though only in the right...

automatic cord reel. one x AAA (1.5volt) battery needed for noise cancelling, which is activated by a small switch. noise cancelling technology appears very effective

battery operated. standard plastic construction. somewhat tight fit on the ears

Good sound, especially for the price. Pretty good noise-cancelling, though it's really more of a volume boost than anything else. Collapsible, folds down for easy transport, and comes with an extremely nice leather carrying pouch

A bit hard on the head, mainly on the top. Cable has worn out after about 2-3 years, warranty I received with it only lasted for one year. This is probably due to the retractable cord being pulled this way and that

Sound quality is fine for the average user. They are fairly loud as well. I mp3 palyer used to be at 2/3's volume, and with these I keep it around half volume

They aren't very comfortable at all. I wore them for about 4 hours at work and my ears felt completely crushed afterwards. I would prefer headphones that surround your ear instead of sitting on top. The folding part in the middle rubbes against the top...

Pretty good noise canceling. Sound quality is decent

Uncomfortable on long flights. Not as portable as they seem
