5 comments about Sony MDR-IF240RK Wireless Headphone System.

1. these aren't the greatest headphones out there, but for the price they get the job done. Battery life is excellent. My only real complaint is the "noise" they make when you turn them up, but if you turn, for example, the tv up rather than the headphones, its not too bad. These are what I would expect for the price. The 'free shipping' is slow.... :( so if you choose that option be prepared to wait.



2. Produce works great. I bought so I could listen to the tv while my partners sleeps and have been very satisfied with the sound volume.



3. I bought these headphones for my husband so he could keep the TV volume at a normal level when everyone else was in bed. They work great, and I've even used them myself a time or two. The sound quality is good, and it's so nice to not have to strain to hear the TV if someone is sleeping! Operation is very simple, as well as re-charging the batteries.



4. Good Headphones. If you are moving around a lot they may cut out on you but I bought mine to play video games and not irritate my wife. I also have a slight hearing loss and use them so I can watch movies with the rest of the family and not turn up the volume.



5. After receiving them, it was 5 minutes and two cable connections later that I was trying them out. I plugged them straight into the headphone jack on my audio receiver and immediately heard a loud fuzzy noise. I had my volume set to about 40% of the max, and tried turning it up and turning down the volume on the headphones. Worked great. If I turn off the source and turn up volume, I get the fuzzy sound back again, but if I leave them at where I was listening it's only noticeable if you're trying to hear it. Easily drowned out just by a refrigerator motor, AC, or anything else you have humming along nearby. However, they require a fairly strong signal to allow you to keep the volume on low enough to prevent the fuzzy noise from becoming prevalent. If I use my laptop, I can hear white noise during quiet portions of songs and anything else. They aren't that well suited to music, but then again I didn't get them to listen to music. I still would have no issue if I was listening to music while doing something else.
   
   As far as receptivity goes, they're nice enough in that if you lose the signal, you'll just get no noise. The range isn't spectacular, but if you're using them to watch TV, you probably aren't that far away. 10 feet is about as far as I can go and get good quality.
   
   The build quality is pretty good - They feel a little cheap, but that's mainly because you don't want a very stiff headband. They really do have a good system for fitting on your head - they automatically snap back to position when you take them off, which makes it easier to put them on the cradle. Speaking of the cradle, the charging system is a little annoying. I had to fiddle with it for a minute to figure out how to get the contacts to line up.
   
   Overall, it's a good deal for the money. You know that for $40 or so, you aren't getting the holy grail of wireless sound, but you do get your money's worth. If you're looking to spend about 40 bucks, look no further.

5 comments about Sennheiser CX300-W Earbuds (White).

1. I liked the ear fit - three sizes are provided and I liked the sound, really sharp and powerful.
   
   However ...
   The asymmetrical cable is awkward and is a bother. From the yoke (where the bud cables separate) the left ear bud cable is 7-1/2" in length. The right side bud cable is 21" long. That's quite a difference. The CX-300 is designed to be worn behind your head.
   
   I wish the cable measurements had been printed on the package!!
   
   I wrote Sennheiser if it was possible to it send back and have it modified to a symmetrical length. Their answer was to consider their CX55, CX400 and CX500 if I wanted symmetrical cables.



2. These headphones are a great improvement over the units packed into most items, iPods, Zunes, etc. The bass response is strong, and the clarity is impressive for this price range.
   
   They are comfortable, and fit well when choosing between the 3 sizes of ear pads.
   
   These have become my default running 'phones. They have been through over one hundred miles and are in great shape still.
   
   They have also accidently gone through two entire wash cycles, and are still in perfect working order.
   
   Highly recommended, but if you are looking for long-term comfortable wear, look no further than the Sennheiser HD-595, which are astounding.



3. I bought these for my friend and she loves them. I bought J-buds for myself, and I can definitely hear the difference in sound quality between the two. It would be great to have some noise canceling, though, but you need to pay a bit more for that.



4. The first thing I noticed about these headphones was how comfortable they were in my ear. I own other in-ear phones that are not as nice as these. The sound quality is fantastic, which is expected of Sennheiser. They also do a really good job of blocking out external noise. However, don't confuse that with noise-canceling headphones. There's a big difference!!
   
   The only issue I have with the headphones is the short/long wire setup. This forces one to put your portable media device on the left side of your body. For some reason, I've gotten used to the right side, so this took some getting used to. Other then that, they are great and I would highly recommend.
   
   The only other comment that I have is about the in-ear design. The only time I don't like wearing these is when I'm already in a quiet room. I can hear myself breath through the headphones, which is kind of strange. I wonder if others have the same experience. I much rather use over the ear headphones in those situations. These headphones are great when used in noisy situations, like on a bus/train, or cutting the lawn. Another alternative is to use the noise-canceling headphones.



5. Earbuds sound great with mp3 player or dvd player. I was pleasantly surprised they sounded so good, very comfortable and sturdy too. Would highly recommend.

5 comments about Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line Stereo Neckband Headphones.

1. I run a lot, and I like behind-the-neck design, but these simply suck, and most definitely aren't worth the money. I read many reviews claiming exceptional sound, but I found the sound to be worse than regular iPod speakers. Overall, the design is rather bulky, the speakers aren't in real earbuds--they just hang halfway into your ear and get soaked with sweat as run. The bulky neckband pulls these down so it irritates the parts of the ear that the headphones touch as they jog up and down during a run, and it is not flexible enough to allow you to recline on a headrest or lay down.
   
   Overall, I found a pair of $20 Sony clip-ons to be much better in terms of weight and sound, and a pair of similarly-styled $20 Nike/Philips to be far better for running and workout.



2. I read many reviews about this product. I like to do my long runs with music. I have tried several pairs, but these work nicely. I am not an audiophile, but the music was clear and the ear buds did not hurt or move around. They are wet with sweat at the end of the run, but I didn't notice any loss in volume. I would recommend them to any runner.



3. I used these today on a 30 min quick run and they worked great.
   
   Sound: I'm not picky when it comes to sport headphones, just looking for a little distraction while I'm working out, but the sound from these is definitely decent. The bass is by no means lacking and the highs come in clear.
   
   Comfort: These were very comfortable for the entire run. I would say I have medium sized ears and they fit well. It didn't seem like they moved at all. For my head the back part doesn't fit snug against the back of my head... or touch at all, but this did not seem to matter in comfort or in keeping them on my head.
   
   If there are any problems in the future I'll update this review. Until then 5 stars.



4. I've been buying, using and researching headphones since I got my first walkman, back in 1979 and this is by far the best I've ever owned.
   It's extremely resistant, but I treat it like crystal, because I love it so much. The sound is fantastic and you can use it all the time - it never moves on your head. Be careful with the green rubber cushions(earpads), because for some reason they can detach themselves from the phones.
   Really a first class buy.



5. I am an avid runner and weightlifter who listens to music, magazines on tape, and books on tape. Thus, headphones with a good sound quality but comfort is important. Another priority, is the headphones must not move or fall off because of sweat or jerky movements.
   
   I have invested hundreds of dollars into various headphones. These are the best in satisfying my criteria. There is great sound, tremendous comfort and no readjusting while running. This is an important item, because I run many steep and bumpy trails. It also works great for activities inside the gym. The only downside is that you cannot listen while you are bench pressing or performing other activities while lying down. Usually,I use another set of headphones when weightlifting.
   
   From one runner/weightlifter to another: these are the ones!

5 comments about Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones.

1. Nice bang for the buck. The pods do stay in your ears well and do not need to be adjusted. I purchased them for the purpose of using them at the gym or running. Sound quality is decent but if you are looking for exceptional soumd these are not the pods for you.



2. I've owned the Sony MDR-EX51LP's for a year or two, and honestly they've served me well. The L-plug is a great feature which I find protects my iPod earphone jack from loosening or breaking because it lies closer to the iPod body (less leverage, get it?). If you're not careful, the silicon sleeves can fall off when you put the earphones in/out of your pockets, and that's why the blue/green case is a great extra. I actually lost one of my silicon sleeves and replaced it with Shure sleeves from Amazon for 10 bucks. (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA506A-Replacement-QuietSpot-Headsets/dp/B000F6570C/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1214903819&sr=8-5) They actually made the earbuds more comfortable and sound slightly better, so I'd strongly recommend them.
   
   Recently I acquired a pair of EP 630's by Creative. Overall, both are very comparable and evenly matched, but each has its strengths and weaknesses.
   
   For sound quality, the EP 630's easily beat the MDR's, even with the Shure sleeves. Sound is crisper and clearer with the EP 630's, and a little more flat with the MDR's. As for comfort, both are very similar. While the Creative's are lighter and smaller in your ear, the Sony's (with Shure sleeves) have a fuller fit that just feels right. Without the Shure sleeves, the MDR's are slightly lacking. The cord length for the 630's is much shorter which I find to be a nuisance, but the MDR's are perfect, maybe even slightly long. With the MDR's, the right wire is longer than the left wire. I believe this is referred to as a J design, but I'm not sure. Its convenient because usually you put the longer wire behing your neck. This way, if you want to hear from only one ear, the longer wire will rest on your shoulder. The Creative's have a standard Y-shaped cord, so if you let one earbud dangle, it tugs at the one in your ear. The material surrounding the MDR's is softer and spongier, which feels high quality at first and doesn't tangle too much, but after prolonged use they will wear down. I've had to use electrical tape to fix some exposed wire underneath, but now it works like a charm. The 630's cord feels much more durable, but as they haven't been used nearly as much as the MDR's, I'm not definite. Another advantage to the MDR's is the cord does not transmit external sound like the 630's. I'm able to hear every touch with the 630's, but with the MDR's sounds are muffled or not noticeable (Big plus if you use these on the go). Lastly, and probably least, is the L-plug for the MDR's which I think is great, but not a huge deal and probably shouldn't sway your decision much.
   
   In summary,
   Sound - Creative EP 630's (easily noticeable advantage)
   Comfort - Creative EP 630's (barely beat the MDR's with the included sleeves. With Shure sleeves, they're equal)
   Cord length/design - Sony MDR-EX51LP (No brainer, the Creative's annoy me because of this. The J-shape is much more convenient than the Y-shape as well, but that's personal preference)
   Cord material - Sony MDR-EX51LP (Another no brainer. I use these on the go and the constant clatter from the 630's is unbearable)
   Cost - Sony MDR-EX51LP (almost 10 bucks, up to you if its worth it)
   
   From the way I weigh each of the advantages and disadvantages, the Sony's beat the Creative's. However, you might think different, decide for yourself. I find myself using the Sony's often and the Creative's not at all because I'm usually on the move with my music and the Sony's are much more portable friendly as already mentioned. So my conclusion is this: If you'll be on the move, take the MDR's, because they have a clear advantage there. But if you're not, take the EP 630's, because for the price, you can't beat the sound quality. Just my 2 cents.



3. BIG sound for a little price. The various sized rubber "gaskets" assure they will stay in place and can affect the level of bass that you desire. I also like the fact that one earbud cord is way longer than the other so you can wrap it behind your neck. I highly recommend them.



4. I bought these earphones as an addition to the Koss earphones I already own. The sound is OK, but not as good as I expected and the "holder" is a joke. Would not buy them again at any price. The Koss earphones are better quality, better sound and a real pouch to hold them for less money.



5. Although this set of headphones was a few dollars cheaper, I should've gone with the MDR-EX71SLA. I cannot tell the difference so I will have to say they've equally got great sound quality. I'm with most of the reviewers, I do not like nor do I get why Sony created the odd length of the cord, however the MDR-EX71SLA allows you to go super short or super long. I preferred the super short so I could clip my shuffle on my collar while working or jogging. Also, the MDR-EX71SLA has rubbery head phones while the MDR-EX51LP have hard plastic head phones. I found it easier to get the ear buds snug in my ears with the rubbery head phones than the plastic ones. I never experienced the cord malfunctions as some of the reviewers have, the only reason I had to get a new pair was because I accidentally left the long cord outside while I was driving on the freeway for about 15 minutes. I thought something was wrong with my car, I was dismayed when I found out I mangled my headphones. The headphones were pretty banged up but still worked for a good year after that at least through one headphone.

5 comments about Apple In-Ear Headphones (White).

1. I agree with all the other reviewers here who say these headphones are the worst thing to come down the pike to accompany the neatest product ever invented. From the minute I used these headphones, they gave me massive earaches. They're way too big for my ears and the supposed rubber gasket around them helped not one bit. I subsequently bought a pair of Skullcandy headphones (which I also reviewed) and stuck these back in the box they came in. My Skullcandy phones broke recently, so now I'm back to these and the earaches, when I'm not picking up one side or the other because it has fallen out of my ear. They don't fit, period.
   
   There should be a photo of these in any dictionary listing of "lousy product design." I've been a huge fan of Apple's products forever, but it irritates me that these headphones were included with a device costing $300. If that's not an affront to Apple's consumers, then I don't know what is.



2. These headphones hurt my ears every time I used them. The sound quality is very poor and they break easily. I had these for maybe 2 months before they broke and many people I know said that they had the same problem. Some broke within 3 weeks. NEVER BUY THESE HEADPHONES.



3. I don't have an issue with the way the headphones sound, or fit in my ear. As far as earphones go they're pretty standard, so I don't have high expectations.
   
   However, every time I wrap them around my iPod case, bundle them and set them aside, they become the most tangled mess I've ever had to deal with. I'm constantly untangling the dang things. What is that about? And they tangle up in ways I didn't know possible - loops, twists; I'm using fingernails to unravel them.
   
   This is the pair that came with my iPod touch. I have since purchased another brand.



4. I was happy when I first got my earphones, but have been slightly dissatisfied with them. They work and all, but there've been a few defects. On the earphones themselves have an L and R for each ear ... but this has rubbed off quite quickly to where they've already disappeared. Also, on my left earphone, the top popped OFF, so i had to use gorilla glue to put it back on and make it stay there. Otherwise, I am happy that I got iPod earphones from the non-apple company for A LOT cheaper.
   [:



5. i've been using this for 2 yrs. About 2 wks ago, the sound in the right ear bud became thinner. But 2 yrs is not bad, especially since is not expensive. They fit into my ear well, never falls out while i'm working out. The sound quality is not bad, if u r not very particular about getting the ear bud with the best sound, this one definitely works. Overall i like it, i'm getting another one.

5 comments about JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones.

1. First time trying NC headphones. Purchassed based upon user and critical reviews. The first thing I can say is that you don't really realize what you are hear until you don't hear. I was in a room with no people and a "whisper quiet" AC. The difference between NC and no NC was dramatic. Then a "loud and obnoxious co-worker" came in. The headphones passed the test at this point. I use them exclusively in NC mode now.
   
   Used primarily with a PSP and volume and clarity.



2. I bought this headphone after doing much research and I am completely satisfied with its performance so far. There is a hum while turning on noise cancellation without music, but I don't just turn it on without music anyways. While traveling on Boeing 737-300 and 737-700 on a short trip, I tested it's performance and it really brought down the engine noise to zero.



3. I bought the JVC HANC250 headphones expressly to use on a long airplane trip. The price at a local giant electronics store was much higher than I paid through Amazon. Thank you Amazon! The headphones do make a small difference in noice reduction but not enough to warrant even the price on Amazon. The earbuds that came with my Ipod work just as well on noise reduction and better in sound quality without the annoying hessing noise, (see below).
   
   The correct discription for this product would be an on-ear, not over-ear headphone with some noice reduction with the use of air hessing noises that combine with your music to give you the sense that you have noise reduction. The hissing noise is a distraction from the music for us older folks (62) who are beginning to have some difficutly hearing every little sound because we have been used to cranking up the volume for 50 years now. (I do not require hearing aids yet, just getting older).
   
   Because they are not over-ear or in-ear devices there are gaps when the earphones are on your ear, these gaps allow any noise near by you to become amplified as it makes it though to your ears. If you have tiny earsa this may not be an issue for you. I actually found the music better for me without the noise reduction feature on.



4. These really are a great pair of headphones.
   
   I got them for work since I recently took a job that involved a cube farm. Putting these headphones on and turning on the noise canceling instantly makes me breathe a sigh of relief. It's like having my own little haven to go to in order to get away from the noise of the cube farm.
   
   They block all lower frequency sounds (low voices, air condition, computer fans, etc.) and muffle higher frequency sounds (women's voices, etc.). Combined with some music I can't even tell I'm in a cube anymore.
   
   Speaking of music, I have found the sound from these headphones to be superb! Sure, it doesn't have huge amounts of bass, but what is there is clean and pure. Also, the detail in the mid and high range is exceptional.... I find myself hearing lyrics and background music details that I never heard before.
   
   Finally: comfort. I was really looking for a pair of over the ear headphones because I knew I would be wearing these all day long. But after reading the positive reviews (and looking at the price) I went with this... and I'm glad I did. Firstly, they are _very_ light. I couldn't believe how light they were the first time I picked them up. Secondly, the cushions are very high quality, mating well with your ears, sealing out sound while not making your ears hot. Finally, the headband is of similar good quality, never bothering the top of my head (although it does put a crease in my hair!).
   
   I have worn these headphones for about 5 hours a day for the past month and can't come up with anything bad to say about them....

5. I purchased this item as a birthday gift for my husband. He is very picky so I was surprised when he said they were perfect. He is always quick to complain and slow to compliment if at all so I guess these headphones are really great because when he called me to let me know he was at his destination the first thing he said was how great the headphones were and how happy he was that I got them for him. Four trips later they are the first thing he reminds me to pack for him. Thanks Amazon for having them available.

5 comments about Bose® QuietComfort® 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones.

1. Bose® QuietComfort® 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones No high Hz whatever, no way to use without the noise canceling off. They are very uncomfortable with eye glasses. used them for three days and sent the things back.



2. A must have for air travel. I have both the quiet comfort 1 and 2 versions and love them. The new fold flat is best for carry-on luggage. Comfortable to wear for long international flights and use hardly any battery power. If you are reading reviews of this product, don't wonder any further, this is the one to buy.



3. I had heard about the Bose experience from others and during a flight last month asked a fellow airplane passenger if I could try his. Well, I was sold and immeditately ordered a set. I have been on three long-haul international flights and a number of domestic over the past month and can only say that travel has completely changed for the better. I now am able to enter my own universe of music that that I bring along on my i-pod, and watching the movies on the flight are much more satisfying with incredible clarity of sound and noise reduction. While this is an expensive purchase, I am one happy customer and won't leave home without my Bose headphones.



4. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3BK7YCTFQCATP



5. I'll keep this short as there are so many reviews of this product. I have owned these headphones for a few years now and during this time I have watched them slowly fall apart. While the sound quality and noise canceling ability is still excellent, the materials used in construction are clearly sub-par.
   
   - the ear pad covers are flaking off
   - both arms connecting the ear cups to the head piece are cracked and held together with tape
   
   I expected much better from Bose. Keep looking.

5 comments about Apple Earbud Headphones (White).

1. I like these. I'm not a hardcore audiophile, and I haven't tried many comparable phones because I don't really want to pay over $30-- Considering what these are going for new in the Amazon Marketplace, they're great for that price (under $10 +s/h as I write).
   I like that they aren't noise cancelling, which undermines the deep bass you might hope for, but allows you to still be aware of what's going on around you, which I prefer. The sound is really pretty clear and good. The little rubber sliding piece that holds the two separate wires together above the split is nice-- moves easily and stays put. This is a small feature, but it really helps to keep them securely in your ears (even though you may look kind of silly with the wires coming together just a couple of inches under your chin, looking less than super-cool being an obvious problem for many iPod rocking hipsters). I rarely have trouble with them falling out-- pretty much only running or doing hard physical work.
   I agree with some other posters about durability: the grey rubber strip around the bud head came off in 6 months or so, and the hood on the plug end pulled loose where it overlaps the cable, exposing the inner wires, so I had to tape it, which is kind of lame. That said, I regularly loop the cable up and hook the ends together and stash the buds in my front jeans pocket, unprotected from inner-pocket rubbing, so I would expect some deterioration. Despite my regular beatings, however, the sound is still as good as it was when I got them, almost a year and a half ago. I'm about to buy another pair because they look so haggard, but I am buying another pair rather than getting something else.



2. Although the volume is good and the quality of the sound is quite nice, these earphones will not last you long. I got them with my new classic Ipod and they only lasted 3 months. The cap fell off and the right bud was not making any sounds. There's many earphones much better out there.



3. This product is illegal. It is not an apple product. The gray area is not rubber like apple it is plastic and has a mold process tag so it cuts into your ear. They are too big for the ear. The sound quality is about what you would expect from headphones that use aluminum foil as an oscillator.



4. The phrase "you get what you pay for" comes to mind every time when I look to buy a discounted anything. I thought that this was a great deal when I ordered these earbuds as a replacement set for the ones that came with my son's iPod. They look different than the original, fit different than the original, and, most importantly, sound different...and not in a good way. They sound tinny and have little, if any, bass. In short, DO NOT BUY THESE EARBUDS!!! Buy directly from Apple and pay for what you get.



5. The sound quality is decent, but not 20 dollars worth of decent. They're durable enough to be at the bottom of my bookbag or large purse, but not durable enough to withstand the powerful jaws of my 7.5 pound dog... but I never expected them to be.
   
   They're okay headphones as far as consumer products go, but probably only worth 15 dollars at the most.

5 comments about Sennheiser MX55 Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Stereo Headphones.

1. I bought these earphones because my old ones were broken and must have been discontinued...basically out of desperation. All-in-all they work well. They fit in my ears pretty well and do not slip out, although one side occasionally hurts a bit if it's not adjusted just right. The sounds is good, but I do wish that the volume control could be handled on the earphone cord, instead of directly from my I-Pod...my old phones had a cord adjustment, as well as control from the I-Pod. I thought that having a cord wrap around the back of my neck would really bother me and get in the way, but it has proven to be a non-issue once I start my run. Basically, these earphones are worth a shot....and with the lime-green color, you're sure not to loose them!!



2. My biggest problem with headphones has always been finding a pair that would stay put in my ears while exercising. I've had these headphones about 4 months and they have never failed me. I thought they were a little awkward to put in at first, but they dont move once in place. Sound quality is excellent as well. The cord to the right earphone is a little longer than the left, which (I think) is to make it easier to wear the headphones with the cords behind your head. Would like to see them in a color other than bright green, but overall a great product. Definitely recommend to anyone who is an avid gym-goer!



3. It has good sound and volume control is handy - long cable provides some flexibility.



4. Nice headphones
   Pros: really good for sports
   Cons: weak bass and green color



5. I can't really call myself an audiophile but I am more of a headphone/earphone junkie. I've got a bunch of them that I use at various times but I never really had one that would stay in my ear when I'm sweating buckets at the gym.
   
   Then I stumbled across these while looking for gym headphones and since I already own a Sennheiser EH-150, I was pretty sure I could trust Sennheiser to make a good product. And that trust was certainly not misplaced. These headphones are the best things possible for the gym.
   
   PROS:
   1. They stay in your ear no matter how much you move or sweat.
   2. They aren't overly expensive
   3. They have a neat carrying case and shirt clip
   4. They can be custom fitted to your ear thanks to the different pads etc that are provided
   5. They have well balanced sound
   6. They feel like they'll last a while even with rugged use
   
   CONS:
   1. Bass is a little on the low side
   2. Putting it on the right way and getting it to stay there might be take a few tries for some people
   3. For the overly fashion oriented -- they're bright green
   
   Overall, a great set of earphones that should be a part of every gym kit of you ask me (whether you like green or not). If you're looking for headphones that stay in your ear when you work out/jog then look no further.

5 comments about Sennheiser PXC 250 Active Noise Canceling Headphones.

1. I ordered these headphones refurbished and was pleased with their like-new condition. Comfort was a big factor in my decision to buy these. I find them comfortable to wear for at least a couple of hours. I tried other headphones and found that they were too tight to wear for long without getting a headache. The sound cancelling feature also works well.



2. Bought this for my dad last Christmas. Liked it so much I bought another one before my trip to Prague this past spring. Works great for the airplane. You can definitely hear the difference. I might get another for my fiancee (she kept stealing it from me on the airplane) so that we could both enjoy the decreased noise. Compared to the Bose Quiet Comfort (I bought one for my dad a couple years back) I think it's at least as good for a lot less. The bag that it comes with is a plus as it takes very little space and also holds my iPod and extra batteries. Would recommend this to anyone. Sennheiser quality is very good as always. Although I am by no means an expert, I have several decent headphones (2 Sennheisers and 1 Grado) so I feel I can tell the different between a cheap $20 headphone from Walmart and a good high quality one.



3. This is the second pair I have owned. The sound canceling/quality ratio is very good. The headphones are lightweight and easy on your ears. While they do not provide the same level of sound suppression as heavier headphones, they achieve an amazing level of noise cancelation while preserving very good audio quality. Improvements could be made in the battery holder which can be cumbersome as well as in the folding for storage process which is not intuitive.



4. These sennheisers (PXC 250) are really nice! They are better quality than I expected! I moved from a private office at work (where I could shut my door for peace and quiet) to a large space with other co-workers nearby. I have trouble blocking ambient conversations and noises so I got these puppies to help my concentration. Wow! They are the best. I can use them w/o my ipod for the quiet I need sometimes or with my ipod and the music I like to work by (fast).. Lots of options. Amazon had the best price and I got in on the rebate with Sennheiser for $25 back.



5. I have owned Bose Brookstone and various other head phones. The Sennheiser for the price far outperform any I have owned. They are the most comfortable head set I have ever owned and the sound quality is superb.
