 Good For Flying May 5, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The sound quality is good, the fit comfy and the close-fitting cups make for good sound isolation even without the NR on. When you turn on the NR, though, you'll hear that annoying jet engine hiss disappear into a faint background hum.
YES. I don't even listen to music with these. I put them on, turn them on and then just SLEEP for the flight.
AWESOME.

I love this product. I specifically bought it for a long flight to Hawaii and I wore them almost the entire trip. They were very comfortable.

I actually like these headphones, when they're working. I believe someone else mentioned how folding can cause the wire to short, i've been through three pair of this particular headphone and each one has had that problem. All sound from the right cup dies out, and i'm very careful with use, they stay on my desk at all times, but do tend to fold them after each use. Anyway they're nice enough for me to try three times but i'm going to switch to a different brand that may last more than a few months.
Better Than Bose! February 15, 2007

We just returned from California on a Red-Eye flight to Ft. Lauderdale. The plane was just about full and included lots of children and two dogs in carry-on cages. One of the little yappers was right in front of me and one of the dogs was in my row. We had stayed with my son in CA, who owns the newest Generation Of Bose Noise Cancelling Headsets. We wanted to purchase two sets..and two Bose were just beyond our (retired persons) budget. So we bought two sets of The Maxell Noise Cancelling Headsets w/ Full Ear Cups at a nearby discount store. My husband, who is an Electrical Engineer and VERY picky, decided to do a test: He tried both Bose and Maxell hooked to our MPC player, in our noisy rental car (in neutral and revving engine), with grandchildren yelling. His final assessment was that the Bose had marginally better sound quality, but the Maxell had quite acceptable sound quality and BETTER sound deadening. We used the headsets on the 4-hour flight home and were VERY pleased with both sound quality from the airline jack hookup and THRILLED with noise cancellation feature. In addition, the comfort of the full ear cup headset was excellent. After four hours, my ears did not feel "mashed" or tender. So, must say that we highly recommend them for anyone who does not want to pay the extra $$$ for Bose.
Perfect Comparison to Bose December 30, 2006

These cost me 34 dollars without tax, and i can say that they are completly worth it and more. They cancel out all the noise that bothers you, maybe not the really loud t.v. in the other room, but enough to where you could easily fall asleep with a tune in your ear. I would reccommend these because in all truth there is no 100% noise canceling headphone on the market, and these cancel just as much sound as the $150 Bose, and they sound great, with an amazing amount of attention given to the background sounds of a song. I am listening to a jazz song right now, and i can fully hear the piano and drums with the still vibrant voice of the solo trumpeter. Buy them, and you will be very happy.
