The first one I ordered was defective, the noise canceling in one ear "puffed". Overstock was very helpful in getting the return done promptly and easily.
I bought 2 of these, and love them. My kid uses them for homework to reduce distractions. They are great on a plane. I also use them on the computer as a headset for Skype for my business calls with the additional microphone they sell. Its a great set up. The adapter fits the iPhone/iPod/iPad for music & Skype. An older model (180b?) is notorious for the hinge breaking (this happened to a family member with that model #), and hopefully this one last better, although it looks the same.
I've heard that the Bose are the best, but I'll never pay $250+ for that perfection. For the money these are great. If the switch for noise canceling is off, music isn't great, but with the noise canceling on, the sound is great. I've used them for about 6 weeks non-stop and the single AAA battery is still working with out replacement...
