Amazon.com Product Description
Keep the outside world at bay and focus on your favorite music or movie with the compact and amazingly affordable Aiwa HP-CN6 noise-cancelling, over-the-ear headphones. They'll help to reduce perceived outside noise by more than 70 percent (up to 10 dB at 300 Hz) so you can hear musical nuances against a quieter background. Perfect for packing away for plane travel or even daily commuting on the bus or subway, the HP-CN6 features a convenient folding design that easily fits in your carry-on bag or purse. It offers an adjustable fit that will even accommodate a hat and tilting earcups for an optimal resting position on your ears. p The headphones' noise-canceling circuit senses outside noise using tiny, built-in microphones and sends an equal-but-opposite canceling signal to the headphone drivers, effectively blocking solid-state (continuous) noise from 40 to 1,500 Hz. It's especially effective on noises like air-conditioning systems, freeway rumble, and airplane engines (from a passenger's perspective). p The switchable noise-canceling circuitry runs for approximately 30 hours on a single AA alkaline battery (with battery housing located just above the right earphone). When noise canceling is off, the headphones continue to function for standard music listening (and with slightly better sound quality). The headphones' neodymium-magnet diaphragms deliver powerful sound. p The HP-CN6 features a mini-jack for connecting to portable CD players and digital audio players, but it also includes a larger jack adapter for home stereo receivers and a dual jack for plugging into airplane seats, enabling you to enjoy the in-flight movie in peace and quiet. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr Headphones, carry pouch, stereo receiver jack adpater, in-flight dual jack adapter, and printed user's manual

 Great!!!!! March 16, 2008
These headphones have been very useful. The only time they make a little hiss noise is when the battery is about to die. Other than that I would recommend these headphones.
 Still a great buy March 25, 2007

I've had my HP-CN6's for going on 3 years now. On plane trips they're great at sound reduction. It does indeed reduce ambient noise by 70%. I take the train to work everyday which is extremely noisy. My HP-CN6 reduces those sounds also by at least 60-70%. Now the bad news: They start hurting your ears after 1-2 hours of use since they clamp on your head tightly and the earpads are thin to start with. Once you get use to them, they're not that bad.br /br /Recently wear and tear starting catching up to it after 3 years of heavy use. The Earpads starting to wear down and tear and the wire going into the phone jack is starting to come out (tape is holding it place now). So I starting looking for some new headphones at a similiar price and equal or better noise reduction qualities. br /br /I tried the Sony Noise-Canceling Folding Headphones Model: MDRNC6 at around $46.00 and returned them a day after I brought them. They had very poor noise reduction ability and poor sound quality as compared to my old HP-CN6's which was very surprising and disappointing. I may try Sennheiser's next. So my search continues. Overall these headphones are solidly constructed and offers good noise reduction quality and indeed is worth the buy. br / br /

Save your hard earned $$$br /br /It's simple "it doesn't work" the best ones I've tried on were the Boss, but they're very expensive. So I'm still waitting on the price to come down.
Good deal for people who like high frequency noise March 10, 2006

Ok, br /br /I bought these two or three months ago after a colleague told me that noise-cancelling headphones are very nice when you are on the plane for hours and hours. He spend $299 for his. When this set was on sale for $15 I asked myself what can go wrong - especially when brand Aiwa is behind this.br /br /Here are the reason why I don't like this set:br /- very, very annoying "high hiss" (see others people's reviews)br /- beside this extra noise I actually noticed only a little reduction of external noise; I tried it on the plane from California to Germany for I would say 2 min (couldn't stand the high hiss for longer), and also in an office with a desktop computer on; I'm not sure if external noise is really reduced or ears now focus on high frequency noise.br /- it is not very comfortable due to plastic topbr /- with "high hiss" off, sound quality is like typical $5 headphonesbr /br /Hope this helps.br /
nice for the price March 9, 2006

I agree with Watt mentioning there was a hiss..and I think its low-noise cancelling effect is good, not for voices at times.br /Music quality was heavy in bass.br /Fairly comfortable..its presence is well felt.br /br /Dont understand why its price keeps fluctuating like crazy on Amazon (between $14 and $50)
