I recently bought JVC HA-NC250 and I found them really good. There are very few minor problems but overall its good.
I have done little bit research on noise canceling head phones before buying one...and I feel its not wasted...the problems I faced are same as faced by some other reviews.
Let me tell about the cons first...
1. Battery placement...It can be outside somewhere...every time, I think of taking out the battery, I feel like breaking the ear cups...stupid design (I gave 4 stars just because of this...)
2. The cord can be bit more of length. Its very short
3. Volume control
4. Some what costly for me, but ok with the competition...
(2 and 3) can be done by buying an extenstion cable with volume control for $10 but for the first problem, we have to put up with that.
2. Works great even without noise canceling ON, please look at the impedance in specs...its 96ohms(less is better) which is great when compared to senheissar and Audio Techica's and Bose doesn't fit here...
3. Comfortable: neither exactly over the ear nor on-the-ear but I feel its a nice design covering either design problems
4. Looks good and light on ear...ofcourse, the kit holder is also good...
5. I have seen some reviews saying about the amplication of sound when Noise canceling is ON...but its ok as you can always reduce the sound but dont think noise cancelation doesn't work at all.
6. Last but not the least, noise cancellation works great...
In the end, I think I made the right choice...over Panasonic RP-HC500, senheissar PXC-250, Audio Technica's ATH-ANC7...
