Product Description
The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a technique for attaching the headphone's smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off.For the best possible sound quality, the headphone uses a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece. For comfort and portability, the JVC HA-NC250 is one of the lightest headphones in its class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. It folds flat, and when folded is slimmer than most competing models. Included with the HA-NC250 are a slim carrying case, a four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and 0.25 inch plug adapter for use with many home audio and video components. The headphones use a single 1.5-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry.

 Flimsy construction July 19, 2008
Purchased for a trip to Europe. Worked well on the flight over but broke when taking off my head in the airport before returning. The construction is very cheap plastic, putting great stress on the normal break points. I would not recommend.
 Good not great July 15, 2008
I've been through a variety of moderately priced head phones for my MP3 player. These are comfortable, for the most part. The noise cancelling is good not spectacular. My biggest complaint is that when using the EQ and the bass boost on my MP 3, these headphones, like the several other $100 dollarish sets I've tried tend to break up at higher volumes. If you wanna crank up hard rock these might not be what you're looking for but for audio books, or other lighter listening they're great.
So glad I bought them! July 10, 2008
After reading previous reviews, I finally decided to try these. So glad i did. The noise canceling properties work extremely well. The sound quality is great - very balanced and natural. Its amazing what flicking a switch can do. I do not notice any hiss and i am able to listen at a much lower volume. They're also quite comfortable and lightweight. I can leave them on for a relatively long time without a problem.
Also love the hard case! It provides great protection and everything, including my ipod fit perfectly. Have no problem at all with the location of the battery behind the ear cup, either. It is very easy to replace.
Have to say i was surprised at so many reviews comparing these headphones's features against the Bose. I would have preferred comparisons against comparably priced products. Although I have to agree that these do the job so well, why spend the extra money!

 gift for husband July 8, 2008
I purchased this item as a birthday gift for my husband. He is very picky so I was surprised when he said they were perfect. He is always quick to complain and slow to compliment if at all so I guess these headphones are really great because when he called me to let me know he was at his destination the first thing he said was how great the headphones were and how happy he was that I got them for him. Four trips later they are the first thing he reminds me to pack for him. Thanks Amazon for having them available.
Great Headphones! July 8, 2008
These really are a great pair of headphones.
I got them for work since I recently took a job that involved a cube farm. Putting these headphones on and turning on the noise canceling instantly makes me breathe a sigh of relief. It's like having my own little haven to go to in order to get away from the noise of the cube farm.
They block all lower frequency sounds (low voices, air condition, computer fans, etc.) and muffle higher frequency sounds (women's voices, etc.). Combined with some music I can't even tell I'm in a cube anymore.
Speaking of music, I have found the sound from these headphones to be superb! Sure, it doesn't have huge amounts of bass, but what is there is clean and pure. Also, the detail in the mid and high range is exceptional.... I find myself hearing lyrics and background music details that I never heard before.
Finally: comfort. I was really looking for a pair of over the ear headphones because I knew I would be wearing these all day long. But after reading the positive reviews (and looking at the price) I went with this... and I'm glad I did. Firstly, they are _very_ light. I couldn't believe how light they were the first time I picked them up. Secondly, the cushions are very high quality, mating well with your ears, sealing out sound while not making your ears hot. Finally, the headband is of similar good quality, never bothering the top of my head (although it does put a crease in my hair!).
I have worn these headphones for about 5 hours a day for the past month and can't come up with anything bad to say about them....
