• Noise Canceling Headphones

Cancel out distractions and escape with your music.With SilentSound high-parametric noise canceling technology and custom-fit ear cushions, Logitech's Noise Canceling Headphones reduce outside distractions so you can enjoy each word and every note. Large 40mm neodymium drivers produce crisp, dynamic sound when you're in the mood for music, while the detachable audio cable allows you to create a quiet environment when you're not. Perfect for travel, the Noise Canceling Headphones also include an adapter for airplane audio systems and a protective carrying case so you can stow them in your carry-on.

I've been enjoying these headsets for a couple of months. The sound quality is very good the battery lasts a long time and the thoughtful carrying case is perfect for my complete traveling audio needs. They seem to perform almost as well as my *very* expensive headsets I use when flying.

One day an ear piece broke off somehow (I don't know how) and on examination, I found that the swiveling attachment point is a very small and lightly built piece of hollow plastic trough which the wires pass. I glued it all back together and the earphones still work well, however they will no longer fit in that nifty case. Too bad.

I had these for 6 months and they worked well BUT, the right speaker broke off. Since it was Logitech, I figured they'd stand behind their product but, after several emails it was sorta resolved. This is the feed back I got from Logitech's help desk...

"I have been informed by the Warranty/Replacement Department that the Noise Cancelling Headphones are refund only."

So BE CAREFUL if they break on you, you'll be paying shipping costs again.

I liked this headphone. I also have an Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 and the noise cancellation is very similar. The sound quality on the ANC7 is a lot better, with crisper highs and better spacial feeling, but it's also more than double the price. Being the cheaper one, I used the Logitech a lot more often, mainly because I use these a lot when gardening (I have loud neighbors, sigh, hence the headphones :P). I can't complain about the battery life or the construction strength. The only problem I had with it was noise on the right channel. It started after about 2 months of use, and with a little tap it would usually go away. Then it started getting worse, with static and loud pops (not good for your ears!). It finally broke down today, so I decided to review it to warn others. I still love them and will try to get them fixed (they're very comfortable), but they broke way too quickly (after only about 4 months of medium-light use). I'll use the ANC7 now and see how it stands up, and will try to get the Logitech fixed in warranty.

I used this headphone for only one trip. It broke at the earpiece where you rotate.It does not sit on my ear now and therefore it is useless.I did not read the reviews of moany oithers who experienced the same problem. After spending 75$ I feel cheated and would not recommend it to anyone.

I had a pair of Radio Shack noise cancelling earphones I picked up for under 25 dollars. They were fine up to a point. Didn't fit over the ears completely so didn't cancel out all noise but got me by on flights o.k. and the sound was adequate but got a bit uncomfortable after an hours use. They have held up well for nearly 5 years.
When I heard about the Logitechs and favorable user opinions for the most part I decided to get them and have not been dissapointed.
They do a much better job on flights cancelling out most engine noise.
They are more comfortable than my Radio Shack phones and the base is very rich. I have had them now for over a year and they seem to hold up well.
Only thing I don't like. I wish they folded up into a smaller footprint like the Radio Shacks for travel. They will fold flat to fit in the case but unfortunately the case is sorta hefty and is not far from being as space consuming as a smaller notebook computer.
Otherwise these are great noise cancelling earphones if you don't want to go with the alledgedly superior but pricey Bose phones where a good chunk of your investmeent probably goes to their advertising budget.
Personally I don't see how these Logitechs could be improved upon unless they were offered free.
