Cons Artificial bass level, minor complaints with N.C. quality.
Recommended it? Yes

---- Why do I need 'Noise Canceling'? -----

During my last cross-country plane flight I was seated next to a young man wearing what appeared to be large silver earmuffs. At second glance I realized they were actually headphones, as if the large Bose logo on the side wasn't a hint. After... Read full review »

Great headphones, but not comparable to high end models

Pros Maxell's unit costs less and still are effective for those on a lower budget.
Cons Lower quality noise reduction may not be as attractive to those seeking high end...
Recommended it? Yes

Pros They sound great, and they reduce outside noise.
Cons They don't last.
Recommended it? No

I really love my Philips HDD6330 30GB MP3 player . And I listen to it all the time, just about every day actually. Most of the time, I'm using my Philips HE-592 headphones with them because of the absolutely amazing 3-D sound they provide. But the way in which they deliver that wonderful sound can...

*This review is based on initial impressions. Long term review will be added later.*

I was looking for a good pair of noise cancelling headphones that wouldn't leave me in the poorhouse. I'd used a pair of Bose at the Apple store, but they were as expensive as my iPod. Then I went to a... Read full review »
