Comment:

Great sound, very comfortable on long plane trips, block out low frequencies very well, and batteries last for at least 12 hours. Great value. I've owned mine for 2 years and they've performed flawlessly.

Comment:

Bought 2 pairs, one for daughter who is hospitalized often and myself. She was unable to sleep in hospital environment but this did the trick. I often use to travel and can't do without. Comfortable, light and effective and the bonus is the good sound. the short cord issue is easily rectified. Overall a good buy.

Comment:

Just received this as an early Christmas gift. Works great with my iPod and Laptop computer. Very comfortable. Great sound. I am very pleased and the price is very reasonable. I would not hesitate in purchasing this product. The only complaint is that I would like the cord to be slightly longer. But it is long enough to not take away from a high rating. You can always get a longer cord. Battery life seems to be reasonable as well.
