Noise cancellation headphones

Awesome headphones but noise cancellation less than what I expected.

I use these at a gym with poor acoustics andthey perform beautifully - just what I needed. I would suggest that the instructions for opening the battery cover be clarified, as I needed to rely on a friend who knew the trick.

I wanted to get some headphones for listening to music on my PC. I got these as a gift for Christmas and have used them quite a bit already. They are comfortable and I think the sound quality is very good. I didn't want a real expensive pair because I'm cheap. I hope they last me a long time.

The comfort and sound is great but the directions to remove the battery cover were not. My husband broke the cover trying to open the battery covert he first day we bought it. We tried sliding it off and looked at the directions for assistance. There were arrows but they did not appear to show how to open it. One of the cover catches broke when my husband popped the cover. Now the cover is taped. Luckily the noise canceling still works and is awesome!

Right ear is not operational when the left ear is rotated. Screw to rotational joint of the right ear is inaccessible with any kind of screwdriver. Poorly engineered. Would not recommend!

On the bright side, it's a comfortable headphone with decent performance for the price. However, the noise reduction is tiny and only works for very low frequencies. It will take out some low level traffic rumble, or the background noise of a refrigerator, but that's about it. If you're hoping to reduce the noise of a barking dog or a screaming child, or your co-workers chatter, these won't help in the slightest. The big problem is replacing the battery. It has to be done every week and there is no obvious way to do it. The headphones themselves give no indication of how to get the cover off, or even where the battery is located, and the instruction manual is simply a drawing of the the headphones with a couple of arrows. Once you pry the thing open you can tell that the right side cover had to be slid downward at exactly the right angle and then pried open from the bottom, but by that time the cover tabs are already broken and it is too late. I don't recommend this product
