"Outstanding Compromise to the Bose Q3's"
Pros: Delivers sound quality and noise reduction comparable to the industry standard Bose Quiet-Comfort Series but at a considerably more reasonable price.
Cons: I'd agree with CNET about the cord but hey, you can always buy a longer one. Besides, I'm only using these for flights so the cord length is fine.
Summary: I was going to purchase the Bose Q-3's until I discovered that they too were manufactured in China. Call me a sentimental fool but I still think that it is important to purchase goods made in the U.S. I then read CNET's review of the JVC's and had the opportunity to A/B the Q-3's and the NC250's. I really couldn't hear much of a difference between the two although the Q-3's did have a tiny bit tighter mid-range than the 250's. However, for $97.00 delivered (Quack Quack Distributors) vs. $350.00, I'll take them over the Bose anyday.
