from www.amazon.com
THey don't fit close enough to the ears for my taste - so all the background noise is very apparent.
from www.amazon.com
Bought mine at a Target store at twice the price.
from www.amazon.com

Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II

$75.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
After reading all of the reviews I decided to give these headphones a try.
from www.amazon.com
Before purchasing the Sennheiser CX380 headphones I used either cheaper ($30-$40) Sony in-ear headphones or more expensive Shure ($100+) in ear headphones.
from www.amazon.com
Estos audifonos son realmente perfectos.
from www.amazon.com
I wasn't really wanting to spend this much on a pair of earphones, but decided to splurge a little since I had already spent a wad on a pair of Etymotic and returned them, plus I had always heard Sennheiser made super quality electronics.
from www.amazon.com
Most headphones I've tried have been to fragile, breaking after a couple months due to repetitive motion.

JVC HA-S700

$40.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Highs are crisp and tight, and low frequencies are full without ever sounding aggressive like some cheaper headphones with Super Bass features.
from www.amazon.com
I am surprised that just 3 reviews have been posted.
from www.amazon.com
I bought the Bose around-ear headphones for traveling and light home use and they did sound great but I wasn't happy with spending well over a $100 for a pair of headphones.
from www.amazon.com
I wanted something lightweight that sounded great and the JVC hits on both items.
from www.amazon.com
I wanted something for air travel (so folding) that sounded better than ear buds and would block-out background noise, so these were a good choice.

Panasonic RP-HV21

from www.overstock.com
i was looking for a pair of earbuds that would stay in my ears walking to/from class and working out and they definitely exceeded my expectations.
from www.overstock.com
they stay in place and they have a nice feature that allows you to attach them to each other when not in use so that they don't get tangled up.
from www.overstock.com
they stay in place and are comfortable to wear and the price was perfect!
from www.overstock.com
every other set has ended up breaking because the wires got exposed and ripped in half.when i first got these, they seemed bigger than i'd like, but that turned out to be good - they stay in place!
from www.overstock.com
the earbuds work well, and the construction is pretty sturdy.

I just got this headphone a few days ago.
from www.amazon.com
The sound was excellent but it was too bulky and too heavy, the headphones kept falling off my ears!
from www.amazon.com
With a partial hearing impairment, most affordable earbuds are useless to me, even if they'll stay in my ear.
from www.amazon.com
So I use the Sony MDR-Q22LP model for long periods of time.

I really like these headphones.

on my iphone the eq must be set at reduced treble to drown out the highs a bit so some lows can be heard.
from lt.dell.com
for activities that require one to turn the volume down to increase the external auditory senses, like jogging on busy streets, they may not be a good idea.
from www.crutchfield.com
the ipod nano only cost $140.00 spending 2 times that for the headphones is crazy.

from Vince from Rosemead, www.circuitcity.com
it's not classified as noise canceling, but it acts just like it.
from Rita from Chicago, www.circuitcity.com
it does block out the background noises very well.
from JP from Madis, www.circuitcity.com
i own a pair of shure e2cs, and while the noise isolation isn't as good as those, it's quite good for the price.
from BB from Salt Lake, www.circuitcity.com
they say they are not noise-canceling but they do a great job of it.
from Joe from Michigan, www.circuitcity.com
it's nice that they block out a lot of the noise around you, so you don't have to turn up the volume as loud as with other headphones.

I had done a great deal of research before purchasing NC headphones for a trip overseas.

I purchased the headphones with the expectation of getting noise cancelling and a decent sound quality for a reasonable price.
from www.amazon.com
I did a lot of research prior to purchasing my pair of Noise Cancelling Headphones.
from www.amazon.com
These are the type of noise canceling headphones which generate white noise as part of noise reduction.
from lt.dell.com
Whether noise reduction is on or off, these headphones are not well suited for this type of music in my opnion.

Shure SE115 Consumer

$80.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Best sound ever from earphones, but wax does build up fast and appearance ethetics collapse with waxy buildup on ear cushions.
from www.amazon.com
For those of you who aren't up to speed on audiophile toys, Shure are manufacturers of studio monitor equipment.
from www.amazon.com
got these as replacements for previous set that ended up with broken wire at plug (shure e2c).
from www.amazon.com
Granted they are not as good as studio headphones/earbuds, but they're a fraction of the price and get the job done.
from www.amazon.com
Based on the good reviews I tried the Shure SE115.

from www.amazon.com
Best Headphones I've ever purchased - the noise canceling feature is way better than Bose headphones, and the X-Fi Cystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D buttons really do work by improving an mp3's sound quality with an additional surround sound effect.

Of course noise reduction is not 100% eliminated, results are amazing but if you use them in a low noise room you will notice a very low white-noise sound that I guess is a natural response originated from the internal microphones, so creative: You s...

The sounds that "impact" your ears on regular headphones circumvent your ear canals with the Ultrasones.
from www.amazon.com
Great dynamic range and they are so nice that you forget you have them on, as long as you are sitting up - if you plan on lying down with your head on a pillow, you may feel them slightly as with all headphones.
from www.amazon.com
The Ultrasone Proline 2500 throw a unique, spherical headstage, with each instrument/vocal anchored solidly in 3-D space.
from www.amazon.com
These headphones are made of a kind of plastic that does not appear to cause vibrations or resonance that effects the sound quality.
