5.0 out of 5 stars Value and Quietness, December 7, 2006

I should start this off with saying, I have not tried the products that these Logitechs are directly competing with, mainly the Bose Quiet Comforts.

The noise cancelling feature is amazing. At work there is a large air conditioner on the ceiling above me at work that emits a constant hum. If I put the headphones on with noise cancellation, this is all peacefully drowned out. If I was using other headphones, I would need to turn up the value to cancel it out, leaving me with a headache. I'm sure the noise cancelling will come in to play even more when I use them on an airplane.

For comfort these are also very nice. Super soft ear pads and very lightweight, probably some of the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn.

Price compared to other headphones is high, but compared to other noise cancelling headphones, is a very good price.

They come with a bigger square carrying case that holds the headphones, airline adapter, ipod, and a battery (in case yours goes dead).

2.0 out of 5 stars Mine Broke :(, October 24, 2007

These worked great for about a year, then the frame broke just above the ear piece. That side just flops over now, not sitting snug against my ear and all sorts of sound gets in. They can no longer function as noise canceling headphones. They weren't abused, or dropped, just not much structure or strength in the design in that area.

I purchased these headphones in January 2007 and I will soon be on my fourth pair in six months. The first pair received so much radio interference that I frequently heard FM stations come through. The second pair developed problems likely related to the detachable headphone cord, but Logitech wouldn't replace just the cord. The third pair arrived with the right earcup broken. The fourth pair will likely take three weeks to arrive due to a backorder. Warranty replacements require a great deal of phone or e-mail time, a pick-up arranged through DHL, and then at least a week's time without these headphones. For a product that commands a premium price, I expect good service. Logitech has not met my expectations.

When these headphones work, they produce good but slightly muddy sound with the noise cancelling feature enabled. When this feature is disabled, they let a surprising amount of sound through. I've found that the noise canceling works very well on buses and airplanes, and it even drowns out a nearby air conditioning vent very well at work. However, I would not recommend these headphones because of their low build quality and tedious support procedure.
