Tops in noise cancelling and sound. [Posted on 2008-10-21]
I use these for listning to CDs and MP3s or just getting some peace and quite. They really cancel-out or cut down on noise to a great degree. They will not eliminate my dogs barking but they do cut the edge off - allot! On top of that they sound fantastic.(but not quite as good as my Sony MDR-V6s) Very comfortable, sturdy and far less money then the Bose.

Noise cancelling works well for the price. Works best on engine/air conditioning type noises 85-90%. Even blocks 60-70% of your own voice, really weird. Fairly sturdy. You better have tiny ears as they don't surround without touching. I have average size ears and they are 90% comfortable for a few hours.

Great headphones. Similar style and performance to a Bose set I used to have, all at a fraction of the cost.
Quite happy [Posted on 2008-11-02]
The ear cups are a little small for my big ears, but they are still comfortable and the noise canceling works well. The sound quality is as good as I can ask for, and the price was right. Altogether a good buy.
A little tight on my head and they squeak when I touch near the noice cancelling microphone [Posted on 2008-11-13]
I just received these today and I think they sound pretty darn good. I sit in my cubicle under the air conditioner which is roaring pretty good and with the music playing cannot hear the air conditioning at all. Without music, I hear a faint hissing sound.
The circumaural earcups are a little small and I have medium to small sized ears. I have to wiggle the headphones to get them off my ear lobes. When I do that my left hand touches near the noice cancellation microphone. The way I understand it, the microphone takes the sound and then applies an opposite soundwave to the sample to cancel out the ambient noises. So when I interfere with that, it squeaks in a quite annoying way. Though in normal usage, I doubt I will hear it much.
Overall, I think the price I paid (<$90) is well worth it. I have many pairs of headphones (Etymotic Research ER-6 and ER-6i, Audio-Technica ATH-AD700, Sennheiser HD580, Altec Lansing AHP712 headphones with Active Noise Reduction) and these are very listenable. In comparison with the Altec's, there's no comparison - these have better noise reduction and clearer sound.
I'm pretty sure I've found my airline pair with my ER-6i's.
