5.0 out of 5 stars Yes They Do!, November 7, 2008

I'll be straight...I was a little skeptical about the idea of "noise canceling" headphones. Honestly, until you've heard my mother-in-law when she gets a few in her, you don't know what noise is. I didn't think the boys at JVC knew either.

We had the wife's family over for a get together...a Bar Mitzvah I believe, even though none of us are Jewish. Anyway mother-in-law--whom I love, don't get me wrong--started on one of those high-volume diatribes that come when she has a couple of bloody Marys. And she was in rare form that day. You could have landed a 767 in the living room and no one would have noticed. It was a perfect time to test the headphones.

Well they worked so well when I put on the best of Michael Bolton (I don't really like Michael Bolton, but any port in a storm), that I didn't even bother to flag mom-in-law! I kept looking at her and telling her to speak up, and she gave it all of both lungs and I still couldn't hear a thing. Reading her lips I think it was something about wanting bigger thighs or something. So these are quite excellent and work as intended.

4.0 out of 5 stars JVC Noise Cancelling Ear Phones, January 12, 2009

The JVC Noise Canceling Ear Phones were a good buy, they allowed some seclusion from the banter of fellow coworkers, but the noise reduction circuitry wasn't able to cope with the cackling of one cowoker that drove me to purchase these in the first place.

Regardless, I'd purchased the headphones on the recommendation of Consumer Reports, and they performed quite well (per their review) against competitor's models (i.e., Bose) that cost hundreds more.

I'll use them on our next airline trip, as their true intent is to drown-out the sound of the air/engines from an aircraft, or from other sources of low-volume, continuous noise.

If asked whether I'd purchase them again, I'd say (Yes), especially given the cost of the competitors and their respective noise-cancellation abilities (as compared in CR).
