Lasted a matter of weeks
I had these for only a few weeks and they have quit working entirely. Fiddling with the cord doesn't help. For $50, I expected much better quality. I am sadly disappointed and will not buy any headphone that says "Maxell" again - you can't trust anybody these days, they've all gone for cheap and to heck with quality.

these are awful
what you can't see from the images is that the battery pack to power the noise cancellation is in the middle of the cord, which is just plain stupid and annoying. you have to stuff the battery pack in your pocket, so if you're taller than 5'7", then every time you reach in to your pocket to grab your ipod or whatever, you run the risk of pulling down the battery pack, which in turn jerks your head down and to the side. if you leave the battery pack out of your pocket, it's heavy enough that it swings around and hits stuff if you're walking around. i haven't even put batteries in the battery pack yet so i can't imagine how much heavier it will be with batteries in 'em. avoid these and look for noise cancellation headphones where the battery is on the actual headphone.

I love it!
Initially I purchased Sennheiser HD201 Headphones. They didn't last two weeks, so I thought i would try the Maxell Noise Cancellation Headphones. I got them yesterday and I am so glad I did. I love them. The noise cancellation works well and the wires are heaver than the Sennheiser Headphones. It also came with a handy tote bag to keep them in and even has as adapter for airplane travel! I think these are "keepers". Thank you Amazon:)

Noise feature: nice. Sound quality: bad.
Remember when you were in high school and got your first car and it cost every cent you had and was really cool but it had the crappy original equipment stock car stereo so you saved up all your money from your part time after school job for the next month and went out and bought the most powerful car stereo you could afford and installed it and hooked it up to the crappy original equipment stock car speakers and cranked it up and blew out the speakers but you had no money left so you saved up all your money from your part time after school again for the next month to buy new speakers but for that whole month every time the sound got over a certain volume level it would get all distorted because the paper cones of the speakers were all ripped up?

Remember that month?

That's how these headphones sound out of the box.

Giving good sounds
I got these with my Pepsi points. THey work great. 2 aaa batteries helps take out some of the background noises around you.

They are comfortable to wear.
