Product Description
The HA-NC100 is a noise canceling headphone that can produce a 75% noise reduction when in the active mode. It also has 50 hours of use on one AAA battery. The HA-NC100 also has a cord rewind system, so that it will retract its 4.9 foot cord back up into its left earpiece. And to make it easy to travel, the HA-NC100 folds down into a compact size for easy traveling and it comes with an airplane adapter and a carry pouch. And when you are not traveling the HA-NC100s can be used in the passive mode for great performance at home.

 Good Value & Effective August 25, 2008
Well packaged product; works well in airplanes to reduce (not eliminate) the constant buzz from the engines. Good sound quality from my iPod. Very comfortable even on long flights.
 So uncomfortable I didn't even bother to try the sound! August 8, 2008

I had read quite a few reviews on Amazon about these headphones and they seemed like the right ones, but the moment I got them out of the box and on my head I knew I was going to return them.
The glaring design problem which JVC should beat themselves with rusty chains for is the total lack of cushioning on the folding headband. I couldn't keep them on my head for more than a minute before they started to irritate my skin. Granted, my hair is short and receding, but NO CUSHIONING AT ALL?! We're not with nerve endings, JVC!!
The second issue is that the earcups did not fit over my ears, but rather quashed them against my head. I'm fortunate in that my ears are don't stick out hardly at all, but still, it's not a comfortable feeling to have them clamped against my skull. The sensation was not unlike a vise with a little padding.
Finally, the rewind function of the headphone is a cute trick, but it's much smaller than a regular cord. That alone was cause for me to worry that all I'd have to do is catch it once on something and it would tear right out.
I'm going back to Best Buy and try the Philipps HN110's!

 You get what you pay for July 17, 2008
These headphones produce not bad sound quality, but they are not comfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes.
Noise canceling works only for low frequencies and in the same time add some noise on high frequencies (i.e. in a quiet room I hear more noise when noise canceling turned on)
Great Headphone but can still hear some noises July 2, 2008
Works great but not nearly as good as the BOSE quality one, but I guess you get what you pay for. Blocks out the very loud noise but not to the mute level.
Just fine June 20, 2008
Got these while searching for work, via planes trains and other trains. They work fine to take the worst part out of plane travel and louder subways. While on one flight I borrowed somone's BOSE headphones for a moment and the noise cancelling was a bit better. But not $300 better. I keep meaning to take these to a BOSE store and compare them. They have a great noise simulator there to show off their gadget.
I really like the retactable cord and I'm careful to hold the wire back while it gets snapped up. If you allow the spring to yank it at maximum speed it will wear out eventually. Not having to manage the wire like all those other folks is a real bonus.
And though I don't care for how they look on my head as I'm walking around, I am always suprised at how small a pants pocket they will fit into (one can at a time).
