Comment: This was my first purchase of noise canceling headphones and I only had the Bose I listened to on an iPhone in the Apple store to use as comparison. I am very happy with the JVC HANC250. I have used them in several different environments, with and without sound, and find the noise reduction excellent. With a little soft music I am soon in a world of my own. Watching a video at home is superb- in fact I can not hear my phone ring! Prospective buyers should be aware that noise canceling is not noise eliminating. No brands will do that. The sound quality of these is very good. Comfort is good. Price for value is unmatched.

Summary: Great Purchase for a Great Price
Comment: I was looking to purchase noise cancelling headphones for a flight to Europe. Like most people who wrote reviews, I did not want to spend $300+ on Bose headphones, no matter how superior they are. The reviews I read of these JVC headphones were mostly positive and I took a chance. I must say it has been one of the best purchases I have made in some time. I was able to hear music and DVD sound very well, even without the noise cancelling feature on at times. My wife was using regular headphones and kept making me raise the volume even though it was way too loud for me. Also, our return flight had lots of turbelence and the headphones were a wonder when drowning out the sound of half a dozen sick passengers. If only they had a smell cancelling feature...

Summary: Cannot be beat for the price
Comment: I've always wanted noise canceling headphones but have always been scared away by the price...they always seem to be $300+! These JVCs were rated very highly on CNET, outranked only by $350 Bose and $380 Sony headphones. I bought them to make air travel tolerable, to be able to tune out the dull roar of the plane and the din of the airport.
These headphones are extremely effective, light and small, and have great sound. They really allow me to "tune out" completely and enjoy either silence or music/movies on the plane. Mmmm! They're very nicely packaged in a slim, light case. iPod compatible. For the price, around $109 dollars, you cannot beat these headphones. For the same price as the Bose, you can buy a pair for yourself and a pair for your two best friends!!

Summary: Noticeable reduction in airplane noise + good battery life
Comment: I purchased this for trip overseas. These headphones work as advertised. The noise reduction is very noticeable and allowed me to watch in-flight movies in comfort. The batteries lasted through the return trip also- I still haven't had to replace them: 24+ hours of total usage. There is some discomfort after wearing these things through 2+ movies (~ 6 hours)- but this is true of all headphones I've tried over the years.

Summary: Best value in noise cancelling headphones
Comment: When searching for a new set of headphones I turned to noise cancelling technology. A colleague of mine had bought a pair of the Bose headphones and I was blown away by the noise cancelling performance, and comfort of the headphones on the ear. When I did some reasearch online, I found that the headphones were receiving fantastic reviews, but with two major draw-backs: price (thebose headphones are extremely expensive) and the fact that you could not use the headphones unless you turn on the noise cancelling technology.
These JVC headphones are fantastic. The performance is equal to that of much higher-priced headphones, with the added value of being able to use the headphones even with the noise cancellation feature turned off. And all of that for a fraction of the price. I used these headphones on international flights to and from Europe and they were amazing and made the flight that much more pleasant. I bought a second pair for my wife for the trip, as well, and she absolutely LOVES them.
