i think the 120 gig ipod (6th generation?) provides the best value for any product in the history of the electronics industry, *except for the ear buds*, which are cheap and lousy.]

these headphones are design look-a-like, stylish, have a good sound quality - although a little more bass would have been nice - but overall performance is 4 out of 5.

the anc7 is a very good product, dramatic noise decrease, better sound quality than my expectation when noise canceling is active.

only issue is that when i connected it with desktop speak, there was some electronic noise.
from www.amazon.com
caution, if using on the plane and you switch to a different audio source (from music to movie) they can get extremely loud and possibly damage your hearing and the headphone speakers.
from www.amazon.com
the other is that the cord is a somewhat generic 1/8th inch male-male stereo cord, which means if it fails, you can probably get another at an electronics store, rather than buying a proprietary cord

sound quality is better than any headphones from boss, very comfortable, soft - no pressure on ears at all (that's why they are big, but i am ok with it).

from HeadRoom, www.headphone.com
the sound quality of the mid-priced c551 is equally dependable with a clean, solid musical tonality that is friendly & smooth but perhaps lacks the neutral timbral precision and precise detail
from Jasmine France, reviews.cnet.com
the denon ah-c551 in-ear headphones offer mostly great sound quality and a compact, understated design.
from www.amazon.com
if these are not good enough in sound quality, maybe look to a different style of headphone all together, or spend a lot more money.
from www.amazon.com
sound quality: the sound quality is phenomenal, it beats out my shure e4 on the bass and has very good mids & highs.
from www.amazon.com
i'm an audio-purist and don't really care for bass shaking my head just to have it be obnoxious-- i want to hear the music as intended by the artist and that's exactly what these headphones do.

music in hi quality, it is like being at the concert, only minus the crowd and interference.

hard core audiophiles will gladly coax you into a $4000 cd player, a dedicated headphone amp, expensive cables, etc.
from www.amazon.com
we have come to the point where it is no longer necessary to have 5 pairs of headphones for different types of music.
from www.amazon.com
the open-back headphones are also very accurate and are somewhat better at producing bass, but the closed headphones, such a the denon 5000's, really give the fullest "bottom" to your music.
from www.amazon.com
they have leather covers and metal fittings.

from www.amazon.com
great price on a great product- these cx-500 in-ear headphones deliver excellent sound quality and are extremely light weight, so using them for workouts is perfect.
from www.amazon.com
on the real pair of headphones, i can hear the thump in total silence, but while listening to music and working out, it is barely audible if at all.
from www.amazon.com
but, if you are skilled with an x-acto knife you can shave off a small amount of the plastic (it doesn't effect the sound quality at all) they'll fit right in.
from www.amazon.com
if you even slightly bump it, you will hear that bump in the headphones, and it overpowers the music.
from www.amazon.com
i also spoke with the seller at blue skies electronics and she not only assured me that these were original, she gave me two website addresses that explained how to tell the fakes from the originals.

the difference between the two headsets can be summed up by this one observation: i can listen to classical music on airplanes with the sennheiser, which i could not do with the bose.
from www.crutchfield.com
sound quality is fantastic and noise reduction is the best i have ever heard.
from www.amazon.com
i did get myself a headphone amp for the ipod and it makes a world of difference, day and night, just about a 'must' if you really want to enjoy your music on the go, well worth it.
from www.amazon.com
i was in the market for a noise cancelling headphone because i travel a lot and i wanted to be able to watch movies or listen to music in relative isolation.
