Great for this price range
I've had a pair of these for about a year. I bought them for listening to my iPod while on the train to work. They fold up nicely, they're sturdy, and the carrying case is actually useful. The sound quality is good -- much better than the buds that came with my iPod. (I've heard nicer headphone sound, but not from headphones in this price range.) I find them very comfortable -- they fit over my ears, rather than on them, and they stay on my head while running for the train. They also have a volume control on the cord, which is nice because then I don't have to get my iPod out of it's case to tweak the volume.

The noise reduction is so-so -- it works well on low-frequency rumble, but doesn't do very much for higher-frequency background noise. And it can occasionally hiss a little, though I've never had them actually squeal.

pretty nice
I think the guy who didn't like these may have gotten a bad set or something. They work great for me.

Great Value
I have more expensive NR headphones, but for the price, compact-ability and quality, these are a great value. I use them more than my other more expensive set. Great for Travel!

Solid. Inexpensive.
I've used these on four 14-hour flights halfway around the world, and what I can say about them is that they work. I have no idea what problem the previous reviewer had with them, because I've used mine now for about a hundred hours over the year or so I've owned them and they do what they need to do: they dramatically cut the noise from airplanes and other persistent sound.

However... They are just not as comfortable as more expensive ones. I now have a set of the Bose headphones (only six times more expensive than these!!) and they're pretty impressive. Having said that, these are good for $50, and if you're going to use them for stretches shorter than 14 hours they're fine. (I found them comfortable in two- or three-hour stretches.)

So, in sum: worth $50. But the more expensive ones are better. But these work pretty good.

great value
These headphone are great travel companions. My iPod sounds wonderful through them and the noise cancellation feature really quiets down airplane noise, even when sitting on the wing. I've had mine since April and 7 months later am as happy with these headphones as the day I bought them. Still working off the same pair of AAA batteries, too!

Nice and compact, the leatherette carrying case can also hold your iPOD.
