It's not a BOSE but I don't NEED to spend hundreds of dollars on a headset that can get lost, stolen, or broken on a plane flight for a little better sound quality. Too much else to be concerned about. It does the job of giving me pleasurable music, etc. and does a stand up job of filtering out unwanted noise especially when I am trying to sleep. They do start to feel uncomfortable on my ears after a couple of hours of use though. I just take a break from using or reposition them a bit. I was amazed the first time I used them because of the noise filtering effect now I won't travel without them...good value.

I can't really comment on any of the attributes as I returned this product without opening as my needs changed.

Great headphones, but the plastic silver part on the side of the headphone cracks easily. I'm on my second pair. I wish they would make the frame stronger.

I bought set at Target in 2005.But unfortunately the left channel went dead recently.Warranty expired.Sony in Tejas wanted $33.00 to restore.Decided no. Bought a pair of Panasonic noise cancel through mail.And didn't like em. Didn't even fit on my fat head and gave them to relative.
Don't want any phones now except NC6. Even if I have to buy a new set every few years. But they are not for action and not for travel either.They take up space in bag and are fragile.No excercise either.Ergometer? Forget it! Walking/jogging no way! Picks up wind pockets and sounds like a hurricane while outside.No water or perspiration,Plugs for jogging/walking/biking.
NC6 is for at home.The midrange and high end.It's authentic bass, not for phoney rapp bass garbage.A real jazz/classical enthusiast will appreciate.
"Great Headphones, Good Price"

I bought these headphones about a year and a half ago. The first time I tried them on they felt great on my ears. The padding was very comfortable and adapted to my ear shape easily. My ears do start to feel hot after several hours of use. The band that connects it is great and sturdy. I have tossed this thing around a lot in my book bag and there is no sign of wear and tear. The single wire is great because it avoids those annoying tangles you normally get. The adjustments are good for any person (I have a big head so this is a must). The 90 day warranty is also a great plus.
The sound quality itself is superb. The bass is low, but you can still feel it and know it is there. The high treble is great for distinguishing sounds. The actual volume is a little low compared to Skullcandy or iPod headphones but that's okay because the quality is great. The noise canceling, to me, seems to only make the sound louder and not really stop incoming noise. But it's an OK plus.
The right speaker completely died on me a year in for no discernible reason. I can live without it but it's an annoyance. I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a cheap set of noise canceling headphones. They also come with a plane adapter and a leather pouch which is nice to help prevent damage. But if you want something smaller the Skullcandy Ink'd ear buds are a great choice.
Pros- Very low, but 'feeling' bass High treble (Distinguishes sounds well) Sturdy build all around (Feels flimsy but is not) Leather pouch + airplane adapter Single wire (Avoids tangles)
Cons- Ears get hot after long uses Noise canceling not so good as expected Not really meant for portability Might die with no cause
All in all, it's a superb set of headphones for the price. Definitely the most bang for your buck.

These are great,but after about 2 years,the noise cancelling went out,but come on! 2yrs is a long time,but I thought I'd let people know.The price my reflect that quality,where as a higher priced pair might last longer.
