Reliability of "made in China"
I wanted the headphones for my business trip to Japan(14 hours flight),
and Amazon delivered it just in time which made me so happy, however
the product was deffective with terrible loud noise.Panasonic is well
known brand but this kind of deffect damages its name I am getting
less and less confident in products made in China. Return policy of
Amazon helps me but I wasn't able to use it for my travel which was
so disappointing.
I would like to avoid purchasing products made in China though it
might be difficult nowadays, I am afraid....

Best Ever
These are the finest noise-cancelling headphones that I have ever owned. I compared them, using my iPod "Classic" 160Gb, to a friend's $300 Bose headphones and found no difference. I highly recommend them.

Probably the best deal for the money
I was desperate for a good pair of noise canceling headphones, both for travel and for use when I'm using my treadmill. I overdid it on the research and decided on the AR ANC7 phones. When they arrived, the sound was great, but I happened to take them off and found that the entire room I was in was filled was sound. The leakage was such that I would share whatever movie I was watching with the entire plane. I returned them and got the JVC HANC 250s. These were totally disappointing, as the sound was mediocre and the noise canceling was non-existent. I returned those and tried the Logitech noise canceling headphones. I was pleased with the noise canceling but wasn't floored by the sound quality. I returned them anyway because they were "recertified" and there was a short in one ear piece. I finally tried the Panasonics and was very pleased. I found them to be comfortable, the noise canceling worked very well, and the sound quality was as as good as any except for possibly the ARs. The sound leakage was there but not nearly as bad as the ARs. And these were the cheapest phones of any I tried. I feel that the Panasonics are the best choice in the sub-Bose price range. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-18
Happy with purchase
NO benefit at home, but in a moving vehicle, I have been pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to have the noise cancelling. I like hte light weight of these, but the slender cord worries me in regard to its fragility. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-15
Worth every cent
I purchased these headphones to use with my scanner at a NASCAR race. I had been using a set of regular headphones at IndyCar races and had difficulty hearing the radio over the engine noise, even with the volume turned up all the way. I got the headphones a week before the race and tried them with my Sansa e260 MP3 player. The effect of the noise canceling was amazing. The sound of the air conditioner and air purifier were gone and I only had to set the volume half as high as I used to. The true test came at the track. The stock cars were far noisier than the IndyCars and the engine/exhaust noise was just piercing; I could feel the insides of my ears vibrating. I put on my Panasonic headphones and turned on the noise canceling. The engine noise was much cleaner, without the irritatingly sharp exhaust note. I still wanted to hear the sound of the engines, but I didn't want to lose my hearing. These Panny headphones did the job well, letting me hear only the best of the engine sound. Just like with my MP3 player, I only had to have my scanner volume set at 50-66% to clearly hear radio conversations. I never thought I would buy such fancy headphones, but now I see that you get what you pay for. These Panasonic headphones are worth the money, and they are far cheaper than Bose. | |
