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.

 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....

 Not what I expected. June 28, 2008

I bought the JVC HANC250 headphones expressly to use on a long airplane trip. The price at a local giant electronics store was much higher than I paid through Amazon. Thank you Amazon! The headphones do make a small difference in noice reduction but not enough to warrant even the price on Amazon. The earbuds that came with my Ipod work just as well on noise reduction and better in sound quality without the annoying hessing noise, (see below).
The correct discription for this product would be an on-ear, not over-ear headphone with some noice reduction with the use of air hessing noises that combine with your music to give you the sense that you have noise reduction. The hissing noise is a distraction from the music for us older folks (62) who are beginning to have some difficutly hearing every little sound because we have been used to cranking up the volume for 50 years now. (I do not require hearing aids yet, just getting older).
Because they are not over-ear or in-ear devices there are gaps when the earphones are on your ear, these gaps allow any noise near by you to become amplified as it makes it though to your ears. If you have tiny earsa this may not be an issue for you. I actually found the music better for me without the noise reduction feature on.
Awesome performance and comfortable as well June 28, 2008
I bought this headphone after doing much research and I am completely satisfied with its performance so far. There is a hum while turning on noise cancellation without music, but I don't just turn it on without music anyways. While traveling on Boeing 737-300 and 737-700 on a short trip, I tested it's performance and it really brought down the engine noise to zero.
First time user of NC headphones June 27, 2008
First time trying NC headphones. Purchassed based upon user and critical reviews. The first thing I can say is that you don't really realize what you are hear until you don't hear. I was in a room with no people and a "whisper quiet" AC. The difference between NC and no NC was dramatic. Then a "loud and obnoxious co-worker" came in. The headphones passed the test at this point. I use them exclusively in NC mode now.
Used primarily with a PSP and volume and clarity.
