Seven years and still working like a charm!

These were SUCH a good investment! I got them for my husband 7 years ago as a Valentine's Day gift. It was our fist Valentine's as a married couple, so I was definitely trying to impress! Anyway... I am not a big audio person, so I figured I would have to go with something like BOSE to find a good quality gift. However, as I read reviews in Amazon I kept coming back to this product. Good quality and value. Perfect! That was exactly what I was looking for. It came in an elegant case, with a few adapters, the headset and a cable. Seven years, lots of late nights, two kids and several trips later, these are still our "go to" when we are "serious" about listening to something. My husband can seriously not hear me calling his name when he has them on...or so he says! ;) I love using them as well. He recently had to replace the short cable (I am sure there is a technical name for it that I am not familiar with). But that is the only thing he has had to replace in seven years. He is now a fan of listening to his audio books at the end of the night using these headphones.

NICE!!!

Well first off, I did order the *ATHANC7* NOT the *ATHANCb* headphones, but whatever I guess I'll keep the newer version... I read reviews about how people were getting the newer ones which they didn't even order and I thought maybe it was an occasional thing, but it happened to me too. The only difference is SUPPOSEDLY: The newer one has less base and noise cancellation then the old one and there was something with a lawsuit from Bose to Audio-Technica going on or whatever and also the new ones are more comfy. The older ones have been discontinued. All that I researched and found...Don't hold me accountable lol.

Okay, so I just got them in and don't have much to review right now, but will be back with more info! I do know that the noise cancellation feature is nice when using it without music, you can definitely notice a difference to where it sounds like people are talking under water, but you can't understand them. With music in and cranked up above the halfway point, you cannot hear anyone or anything. I was used to my old Beats Pro where I wouldn't have to put the volume up so high, but whatever I'll get used to it.

I can see the noise cancellation button eventually becoming loose from on and off use. Also I can see the headband become loose and feeble too, but well see.

I do like the comfy ear pads though! MUCH better than my old Beats Pro ones that would destroy your ears after a couple hours of use. Supposedly you can buy new ear pads for these if you want, but for $30.

All in all, coming from a Beats Pro headset, these are AMAZING for like $200 cheaper! Definitely gives these a shot! Only downside might be using a battery... But you can't get everything, right?

Who needs lousy product life?

I purchased these phones in March 2008 and used them seldom. Maybe 20 hours at most. Then they died. Quit. Failed to work any more.

The maker tells me they don't bother to do any repairs and the trade in for replacements is essentially the price of a new set. In other words after a few hours of use we have to pay for a new set!

I have written AT and told them what I think, and told them I was going to tell the public what I felt too.

I will not stand by and let a vendor make garbage, sell it for a high price then not back up the product.

The age-old saying is: Price, quality, service: pick any two. Well AT has not one of these! They have high price, low quality, and nonexistent service.

Good luck to you with these products, Mr. and Ms. Public.

YIKES

UPDATE
Audio Technica wanted $125 to replace my earphones, plus shipping! I had already ordered a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 15 so - since AT wouldn't consider repairing or even inspecting my set - I decided to see what was wrong on my own. There were no screws showing so I tore the ear piece from the left phone, thinking that I would tear the material, but it came off easily and in one piece. The problem was a bent piece of metal used to contact the + battery terminal. I bent the metal back ever so slightly so it would contact the battery post and the earphones work fine now. The earpiece went back in place easily good as new.

The battery contact was badly designed to fail like that. And AT is a rather sad outfit to be uninterested in repairing their product - or even inspecting it. Yoohoo, Audio-Technica: you will never learn how to design by hiding your head in the sand.

Great!

I love these headphones! I work in a shared office area, where people are always opening closing doors, talking, walking behind me, etc... I bought these to help cancel out that noise - and they delivered exactly what I want. Noises become a distance murmur, which makes them easy to ignore, and if you have music playing as well - I rarely got distracted. I even had a few instances where people were knocking on the door softly, and I was not even noticing.

For audiophiles, I am sure there are some knocks, but for me they did exactly what I want. They accept a AAA battery in one of the ear cups, which lasted me long enough to not remember when I last changed it. After the shipped battery died, I replaced it with a rechargeable, and haven't looked back since.

I terms of audio, I tend to have MP3s playing on my laptop, and with these on, I kept the computer's volume around 10%, and the music player volume around 10-20%, and the audio was crystal clear. I listen to everything from country to opera, and pop to classical, and I really appreciate that I don't have to crank the volume up to deafening levels to cancel out the background noise. If anything, my ears will thank me 40 years for this purchase.

The cord is also fairly long, and it's nice and flexible (rubbery feel). The cases is also great, I've often tossed it in my backpack without any worries.

Good but has serious limitations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2011

The noise cancellation works well and the headphones sound good, but there are two major drawbacks for me. The first is the amount of sound spill, which can disturb people around you. The other is that the headphones pick up and amplify radio noise from mobile phones. Both problems make the headphones effectively unusable on crowded trains, which is where I wanted to use them most often.
