Sony Mdrnc22/Blk Noise Canceling Headphone (Black) The Noise-Canceling headphones Sony MDR-NC22 offer an extra level in audio enjoyment by vastly reducing ambient noise that can leak into your listening experience. They are especially ideal but not limited to travelers and commuters on public transport.
Customer Review: Good Quality for the Price
These ear buds are good quality for the price. The quality is not diminished too much when the noise cancelling feature is turned on. I can still hear some outside noise, but when I use the ear buds to listen to an audiobook I do not notice the outside noise very much and it still will lull me to sleep at night. Yes, it is not as good as Boise, but who can afford Boise?
When I do not use the noise cancelling feature the quality of music is excellent. With the noise cancelling feature there is some ambient noise, but soon you do not notice it and the quality of sound is still very good.
I also appreciate that Sony include several sizes of ear plugs for the buds. It seems that I use a different size in each ear! Also if more than one person uses the ear buds, then they can put on their own clean plugs.

Customer Review: Comfortable, but lacking…
I had a pair of Kenwood over the ear headphones for about 10 years that worked beautifully - but wear and tear finally wiped them out. The Philips HN 110, which cost about $20 more than my Kenwoods (which admittedly would probably have a price on par now with the HN 110) come nowhere near the sound quality of those Kenwood headphones.

Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones deliver acclaimed Bose performance in a compact, on-ear design. Just slip them on and experience full-spectrum noise reduction that fades unwanted sounds into the background. Rich, clear audio reveals nuances you might have previously missed. And a lightweight, comfortable fit offers hours of listening enjoyment. It’s a unique combination of benefits available only from Bose. On-ear QC3 headphones match the noise reduction and audio quality benefits of our around-ear QC2 headphones. Wear them when you fly, and you’ll notice a dramatic decrease in engine roar the moment you turn them on. Connect your MP3, DVD or CD player, or listen to the in-flight movie. You’ll hear audio detail and clarity you may have never experienced before. When you just want to create a sanctuary for yourself, simply remove the detachable cord and enjoy the benefits of untethered noise reduction. Use QC3 headphones at home or at the office and notice unwanted distractions fading softly into the background. An optional Cell Connect cable also lets you use your QC3 headphones with most music-enabled mobile phones. Of course, no headphones will eliminate all noise. But proprietary Bose noise reduction and audio technologies work together to make almost any listening experience more rewarding with QC3 headphones. And when you’re done listening, the earcups fold flat for compact storage in a slim carrying case. For added convenience, QC3 headphones are powered by a rechargeable battery with approximately 25 hours of run time. Both the battery and a wall-socket charger are included with your purchase.
Customer Review: Sensitive ears beware
ok, so the QC3 does reduce the noise levels. i bought mine 2 weeks back, and travelled with them on two 4-5 hour flights. the experience, however, was not exactly what i wished for. like somebody else has put her comments on the earache caused by QC3, i can vouch for it having experienced it first hand. i had traveled enough to say that i never had any issues before this, even when i was traveling with no earphones/earplugs.
it might be coz of the fact that my ears are overly sensitive, quite possible. but for people like me, wearing QC3 on a long flight could be quite a really bad experience (the reason i persisted for hours with the earphones was that i wanted to make sure). i returned them 3 days back. when you goto the store and test them, make sure that you are absolutely comfortable with the pair, if you feel even little uncomfortable, believe me, it would be a lot worse in the actual flight due to the simple fact that you would be wearing them for long hours.

JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones Marketing description is not available.
Customer Review: Makes for a different plane ride
About 2 weeks earlier I flew back and forth to San Francisco with regular iPod Touch headphones. I had to have the volume maxed out to be able to hear the movies and TV shows I had downloaded. Then flew round trip to LAX. What a difference, the roar of the plane was gone as soon as I flipped the JVC’s on. I never fell asleep, but I definitely arrived feeling much more refreshed and my iPod battery lasted longer as I didn’t have to max out the volume. Comfort level was excellent. Just wish they were cheaper!
