"Money well spent!"
Pros: Value, Very Good Sound Quality
Cons: None...the product met and exceeded my expectations.
Summary: I just rec?d the headphones today (shipped via UPS) and they work great. They fit perfectly right out of the box. I am currently wearing them right now while I type this and listening to music (who says men can?t multitask
?). I will comment on them regarding both aspects ? with and without audio. I first tried the headphones on while I was in my living room sitting next to my wife and father-in-law who were having a full blown conversation (about what you ask, I don?t know - I couldn?t hear them!) right next to me. In addition to them talking, my TV was on and the volume was set to a ?normal? level. With both of these distractions in the room, the headphones cut down on the noise considerably. I?d imagine they?ll work just as well at drowning out the engine noise on all the flights I?ll be using them on. Just that aspect (without the audio) itself is nearly worth the $40 I paid (however, don?t let the relatively low price make you think you are compromising on quality). Now, add the ability to listen to music and you have yourself one great noise canceling headset. I must admit that I am no audiophile, but audio quality of this headset is among the best I?ve enjoyed. I have had the headset on for well over an hour now and they are still just as comfortable as when I first put them on. I read a few reviews on some reputable websites before making the purchase and +90% gave superb ratings. I haven?t experienced the Bose headphones, but I can?t imagine spending $200-$400 for something that may be marginally, if at all better. In addition to the headphones, you?ll get a sturdy carrying case, a detachable 6 ft. cord, and a dual plug airplane adapter. Within the carrying case, there is a slot for a business card (or other contact info.) along with an elastic slot for an MP3 player such as Apple?s iPod Nano or Microsoft?s Zune. Needless to say, mine is money well spent. No regrets at all!
