OK Headphones, if you want great sound quality with mediocre noise cancelation, try these

by coquiboricua16 on November 28, 2007

Pros: Great sound, good looks, includes batteries, OK cable lenght.

Cons: Noise isolating and cancelling really did not work for me as well as they claim.The NoiseGard tube is inconveniently big, heavy and ROUND!Rolls everywhere. Falls everywhere. Conecting plug isnt angled

Summary: First off, I bought mine at CompUSA, cost me $93 with Tax. When I first saw how flat they were inside the pads I understimated they could EVER produce any ...

Summary: First off, I bought mine at CompUSA, cost me $93 with Tax. When I first saw how flat they were inside the pads I understimated they could EVER produce any good sound. I travel everyday by train, so an isolating or cancelling headphone is a must. So turns out when I take it for the first time on the train, I still heard 65% of the noise out there! The train's screeching was barely muffled and people's chatter was just distorted, you could still hear people's original loudness but just could not understand what they were saying till you take these off. So I thought, maybe since noise cancelling isnt so advanced, lets try somewhere were the noise is CONSTANT so it gave a chance for the NoiseGard to prove itself.
1st site: Home - constant sounds: Microwave hum (low freq. sound), Air conditioner (low freq. sound), pans frying and sizzling (mid and highs), fridge cooling (mid), silverware stricking the plates (highs)...
Blocked only the low freq. sounds by half, everything else was still irritating and hearable noise!
2nd site : Laser Lab inside UPPR - air recompressor (mids and mainly highs), university bell close by range (highs), people chatter in close quarters (mids)...
Everynoise was heard except when recompressor was shutting down.
3rd site: Plasma Lab inside UPPR - Vacuum for the plasma tube (lows and mids), keyboard strikes (mids), door slaming (highs), high heels on floor (lows mids)...
Completely blocked vacuum and some of the damn high heel's noises.
4th site: Basketball court - Ball dribbling, sneakers screeching, wet sneaker squeaks...
Everything was reduced like 10% at best

Sound quality:
-Prince, when Doves Cry: Lows clear but a little overpowering mids. Highs completely heard with sharp detail. Mids were present at sometime when lows werent.
-Guns N Roses, You Could Be Mine: Spectacular, I wish I had this LIVE version might've been more sounds to define instead of a studio mastered production.
Now that you heard from both poles... Rock and w/e Prince is categorized @.@ In general rest of songs were amazingly clear, no more overpowering (especially since rest of my songs dont include alot of bass) but one that stood out and was... completely REVIVED and I started listening to again is Marylin Manson, Tainted Love: Everything was heard the way it should be, like if you were in the studio listening to them. Too bad a granny started talking to me when I was listening to this, she wasnt blocked with the noise cancelation.
Durability and desing:
Design looks hot, it has like the old fashion headphone that came with your walkman cassestte player look but with pads on the ears. The NoiseGard tube is too orginary and huge, it weights alot more than your headphone and MP3 so if it falls you loose the noise cancelling, the sound quality and the MP3 that was playing your so good songs. That tube is completely designed to BREAK! It looks for hits, it is round so it rolls, its heavy so it falls hard and drags stuff down, if you clip it on belt you get stabbed by it if you bend over. Whats the good news? You can use the tube for your dog to fetch once it detaches from your cables from its last fall.
Comfort:
I wore them for an hour, I could feel my pulse in my ears and a great pressure even though I took them off.
