Has its positives and negatives

Dec 19, 2002 - By N. Shigeoka (Inglewood, Ca United States)

Pros:
*Folding
*Noise cancelling for low price
*sturdy construction
Cons:
*Uncomfortable on ears
*Does not completely go over ears
*sound quality poor
This product does what it says, but i could not bear long hours with it on my head. I did test it out using it with ambient noise, which it did cut out using its noise reduction technology, but with the headphones connected to a audio source, what's the need for noise cancellation? I returned it and got a closed ear headphone with better sound quality.

uncomfortable, mediocre noise reduction

Jan 16, 2004 - By Amazon Customer

Thought I had purchased a pretty good product, until I compared them to the Radio Shack 33-1218 Noise-Canceling Foldable Stereo Headphones.

I had used the Audiobahn 103NC for the summer months behind a profesessional lawn mower, and a couple of flights across the U.S. My head would get sore from wearing them, but there was a noise reduction.

I purchased the Radio Shack model for family members before a cross country flight. They are far more comfortable, and there is a significant noise reduction. Most of the jet engine noise disappears.

Save your money, avoid the Audiobahn 103NC.

Stay away....

Nov 20, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

I picked up a pair of these because the price was right for what looked to be a decent pair of noise-canceling headphones. Unfortunately, they went back the next day. The sound was completely muddy...all bass with hardly any treble response at all. I tried them on several kinds of music (rock, jazz, classical) with the same results across the board. They were comfortable, but completely unlistenable.

I LIKE THESE

Jun 10, 2004 - By Kevin Williams (St. Louis , MO)

I bought these headphones because they were not as bulky as others. I only wear my headphones at the gym. I have to note that my gym is below the catapults on an AIRCRAFT CARRIER (it's loud) these headphones when attached to my iriver , or ipod mp3 player drown out the noise , and i can't even hear the sound of the machine i am on. these are nice for the price , just make sure you use good batteries.
