This review is from: Coby CV190 Noise Cancellation Digital Stereo HP (Electronics)

Coby, a Korean company, makes a wide range of very inexpensive electronic products. You can find them at a lot of discount stores here in New York. I have a CD-Player as well as this noise-canceling headset, and I must say I'm happy with neither. Low prices are not necessarily a good thing!

The problem with this product is simple: it doesn't really work. I needed something to use on the subway, to help cut down the ambient noise, but the cv190 doesn't do the job. Worst thing is, the sound quality is, how should I put it, totally lacking: flat, no bass, no clarity, the worst kind you can imagine. Even a cheaper Koss or Aiwa would sound infinitely better. Luckily, I got a refund. You can avoid the hassle by staying away from this.

As for the CD player I got: it eats Energizer batteries like kimchee, and the "anti-skip" circuitry turns Celine Dion into a high-pitched witch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Active NC, February 29, 2004

Just a note that the CV-190 is not an "active noise cancelling" headphone. There are no electronics to reduce ambient noise, just the physical mass of the headphones themselves.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality .. not even worth $15/-, August 7, 2004

Barely cancels any noise. Poor audio quality. Also very tight fitting. Some might like it but other like me feel it more a clamp around my head. Anyway, was not expecting much since I purchased for $15/-. Will promptly return it tomorrow.
