noise-cancelling headphones

Labtec produces some of the best earphones around. These are no exception for the price-I bought mine from Amazon- they are a real bargain. Sturdily built, gold plug, in line volume control and a heavy single sided cord that reaches across most NYC apartment rooms. However I did notice that if someone opens a door or turns on the water it seems amplified while I am wearing these earphones. That can be really annoying ,yet the sound quality is better than some of the 150.00 to 200. dollar set so I guess it is a trade off.
I would not rate these high on the noise reduction level but gave them 4 stars for the great sound quality and other features

These are some decent headphones. Lots of padding on the ears and over the head, they're very comfortable. They block out about 95% of outside noise. And they have a volume control on the 9ft long cord. I have it hooked up to my computer and use it for music and gaming, and the only problem I've had with it is mild distortion when I turn the bass levels up.

Well these are the third pair of headphones I have ever bought. Always in the same price range, but these are the best I have ever bought. The bass isn't all that great but it's everything you can expect from a pair of headphones at this price. I do get a headache from wearing them for over an hour but otherwise I recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of decently priced headphones. Great for games as well as movies.
