Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these on a whim because my job requires air travel a few times a year and I've always been curious about the technology (and because the roar of the airplane cabin really bothers me). This is my first pair of NC headphones and I had no idea what to expect. I thought maybe total silence. I thought wrong. Without any music playing I could easily hear the TV, bathroom fan, etc. The NC300B's did eliminate much of the lower frequency noise, but I was mildly disappointed. I added my MP3 player to the mix and was happy to find that I could listen to music at reasonable levels and my kids voices were effectively muted. Later on I used them while reading and noticed that they did manage to cancel out traffic noise completely (no music required). Then I did a side-by-side comparison with an old pair of standard Sony headphones that I've had for 20 years while I pressure washed my driveway. There is really no comparison. I couldn't hear the music at all with the Sony's, the music came through loud and clear with the NC300B's. I'm still curious as to how these stack up against the top of the line Bose. I'm guessing not very well, but I would expect that given that I paid 1/6 of Bose's asking price for my NC300B's. Also, I'm not an audiophile, so the muddy sound at louder levels on some songs doesn't bother me. I like them at the sub $70 price and would recommend them to my cost conscious friends.
