MONODEAL Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Microphone and Airplane Adapter, Folding and Lightweight Travel Headsets, Hi-Fi Deep Bass Wired Headphones with Carrying Case

These are high quality, well built headphones with sound quality and clarity that rival my other headphones that cost several times more. I purchased this brand because of the excellent experience I had with their Bluetooth set for TV watching that my wife has laid claim to. & their customer service which is excellent (a rare commodity this day and age)! They are very comfortable on the ear headphones that can be worn for hours. The sound reduction mode is effective but not complete silence that is improved with the power on, though sound quality is good without power on. The gold & black style is attractive and tastefully done. Battery life with power on noise reduction is over 20 hrs and if batteries need recharge you can keep listening without a dramatic loss in sound quality but not as good noise reduction. They easily connect to all my devices with a simple plug in or provided adapters. I haven’t used the dual pronged airline adapter yet but will be soon.

I bought these as a last minute buy for an overseas trip, glad I did, they were very useful on a noisy flight. They give good noise reduction and I found them to be very comfortable when wearing for an exteneded period of time. The charge time for the noise reduction was great, still plenty of charge after 8 hours of flying. Priced well.

This headphone is a very simple wired headset with basic functions. Very little to go wrong. The Active noise canceling was awesome, considering how inexpensive this was. I wore them yesterday for 4 hours in an equiment room with many motors and fans. The ANR reduced the low frequency rumble and I was able to listen to my MP3 player at a much reduced volume when the ANR was activated. Battery life is exceptional. I usually have a low tolerance for the "pinching headset" but I didnt even notice them until I took them off. Very little pinch :)

A great product at a good price

Let me preface by saying I am in no way a headphone expert, nor headphone snob. This review is just my observations of a good set of headphones, as compared to my daily driver headphones. Ok, on to the show... My baseline headphones are a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro monitor headphones. The Sennheiser HD 280s are a closed-back, over-the-ear design. This means the ear cups are a little oversized and oval in shape to go around the ear. Being monitor headphones, the frequency response is more flat, rather than heavily bass-boosted like some popular brand headphones. These MONODEAL headphones have a slightly smaller ear cup, so they sit more on my ear, rather than around them, causing slightly more pressure on my noggin while wearing them. Also, these headphones are bass-heavy when listening. I know many people like that, but I've become accustomed to the more flat, natural response of the monitor headphones. Nothing wrong with these, just not what I'm used to now. Noise cancelling - yup, it works. These MONODEAL headphones are the first noise-cancelling headphones I've owned, and they do work. I do not have any experience with the Sony or Bose noise cancelling, so I can't compare with those (that appear to be class leaders, maybe? <shrugs>), but these do cancel out noise. These are nice looking headphones without being super flashy. Subdued stylish, if you will. Of course, looks are a personal matter, so others may not agree, but I do not mind their look. Not much more to say - good sound, good value, good looks. Just not *great* in any category for my tastes.
