Noise canceling Headset

Reviewed by Nephew (Other) from Rancho Cordova, CA on Jun 03, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

After owning the previous version of this headset I bought this updated version for my Aunt who is currently in a senior care home. She uses the noise cancelling ability when it gets noisy around her and uses the audio jack when she wants to listen to a radio, privately. It has been a great purchase to make her stay at the care facility more under her control

Pros:	Comfortable, Highly Compatible, Lightweight, Quiet, Durable, Rich Sound
Cons:	None
Best Uses:	quiet care home stay, Portable Devices, Music

One big drawback

Reviewed by CaptJP (Audio tech/TV/Film) from NY, NY on Jun 11, 2007

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Liked the sound but if the headphones were not situated just right on the ears, you will be subjected to a very annoying feedback. This situation occured if the wearer began to fall asleep. Very big drawback if used on an airplane.
