JVC HANC250 High-Grade Noise Cancelling Headphones
The new JVC HA-NC250 combines outstanding sound quality with advanced noise-canceling and isolation technologies to provide a superior listening experience. The HA-NC250’s noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a new technique for attaching the headphone’s smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off. For the best possible sound quality, the new headphone uses a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece. For comfort and portability, the JVC HA-NC250 is one of the lightest headphones in its class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. It folds flat, and when folded is slimmer than most competing models. Included with the HA-NC250 are a slim carrying case, a four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and ¼-inch plug adapter for use with many home audio and video components. The headphones use a single 1.5-v (more…)

Great pair of headphones
I use the bus every weekday to get to and from work. These headphones get rid of the low frequency noises just as it advertises.

Good value
I think this is a great value if you don’t want to spend $300 for Bose. They are lightweight and effective. Decent sound quality.

Good Ear Phones But Not As Good As Bose
I purchased these head phones for my wife. I have the Bose QuietComfort 3 head phones.
There is no comparison between the Bose QuietComfort and the JVC.

Good performance for the price
I’ve purchased seven of these for staff at my office (we have a shared open space and people use them to block out distractions).

I really liked them, but…
I purchased these after reading several reviews. At work I moved to a desk by several very old and loud computers.
