noise-cancelling headphones

As most people have pointed out, these headphones are unbearably uncomfortable, and I do mean COMPLETELY unbearable. I couldn't stand to wear them for any longer then 5 minutes. It's just awful that these were even allowed to be produced. The sound reduction (when I could focus on anything other then the pain) wasn't hardly noticeable at all. Plus, the cord was just short enough that you can almost always be sure you're going to have your head jerked or your C.D player pulled into the floor when you move. These headphones have really turned me off from ever wanting to buy anything made by Philips ever again. It's sad because they actually sounded pretty good. But, who cares what they sound like if you can't even wear them because they're so uncomfortable!!??

These headphones are unbearably uncomfortable, and they barely do any for noise-cancelling. They pinch the tops of your ears, and the way they sit on your head, you can not sit back while wearing them. I tried to wear them on a plane, but had to lean forward to do so. The noise cancelling only works a tiny bit, as I could clearly hear ALL noise around me. They turned the airplane noise into slightly quieter airplane noise. Not worth it!

There's no adjustment to the headphone itself. The design will fit people with big heads. But the ear piece press against my ears too tight. Hurts after a while. The Noise Canceling work well. Sound quality is OK. More on the high side. I think for about the same price you can get one with better sound quality.
