- Great purchase
I am very impressed with these headphones. I have used them on two flights, each lasting about 6 or 7 hours. They do just what you would expect them to - significantly reduce the flight noise, and allow you to listen to your music. The noise cancellation feature does noticeably reduce the aircraft noise still further. You can allow outside sounds in temporarily by pressing a button on one headset. I can't imagine flying without them now - I felt so much more calm and relaxed with the aircraft ... Read More

- Don't punish your ears!
Noise cancellation is a neat enough novelty that, in these headphones at least, does genuinely work at mid-to-low frequencies. The headphones themselves are also comfortably furnished, and it would certainly be possible to wear them for hours in this respect. They also seem structurally sound, and unlikely to crack apart in the same manner as the Icemats they replaced. These are the last kind words I will say about these headphones. Now, for the bile.

- Don't waste your time ... move along and buy something else ...
I bought these headphones with high hopes. However, upon finding a new AAA battery (none is included in the box), my hopes were shattered -a headache inducing very low frequency rumble coming from both earpieces. The volume of the rumble seems to be highly dependent on how the headphones sit on your head, whether you're moving, which direction you're facing and, in over two hours of trying, I only got a comfortable noise-free fit for 2 minutes.

I'm returning these as faulty. I was going ... Read More

- Excellent performance, cheaper than an upgrade
I've been using these for over a year now and mainly on long haul flights. I'm sure I managed more than the stated 30 hrs battery life as I've only just had to replace the first one. But the splendid carry case and slot for a spare battery means I'm not going to worry about batteries running out.

Sitting in the back of the plane on 10 hr + flights (company policy unfortunately) a pair of these with or without an iPod definitely makes travel more bearable. Low frequency noise (engine drone) ... Read More

- Very Satisfied!
I was a little disappointed to see Amazon didn't sell Bose Headphones, so I decided to purchase the Sony MDF-NC50 Noise Cancelling Headphones which are a great cost effective alternative without the compromise in quality. I bought these for a flight lasting 6 hours - easily the most comfortable headphones I've tried on with great adjustable head band to fit all head sizes! A decent sized cable length and the very useful plane adapter included.

As for the noise cancelling technology - I was ... Read More
