Digital camera reviews of Audio-Technica ATHANC7 Noise-cancelling Headphones
Digital camera Review: Headphone Good, Cable Stinks
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my first noise-canceling headphone. The headphone itself is good but the cable is flimsy and a connection because loose in the cable after several months of use. As far as I know, there are no replacement cables sold specifically for this unit.Digital camera Review: if u traveling alot, GET IT NOW

Summary: 3 Stars
Once upon a time I purchased a pair of Logitech noise canceling headphones and loved them. I went back and bought a second pair, but soon thereafter the first pair broke. They gave me a refund because it was a known issue and then discontinued them. Then I started using the second pair and they lasted a bit longer, but also broke in the same way. However, these were $50 headphones and I have not found another brand that can compare in the noise canceling department. Especially these. For more than twice the price I guess they are a lot sturdier, but overall they don't work as well as the $50 pair from Logitech. I've also tried the JVC brand and another brand I can't remember at the moment and they didn't work so well either. I guess about the only option left is Bose, but at those prices I think I'll just do without first.
For some useful information about these headphones:
1. The supplied audio cord is terribly thin and gives the impression that breathing on it too hard it will cause it to break.
2. The size of the audio jack on these is very small, so once you breathe on the cord and break it, good luck finding a replacement.
3. The size and shape of these headphones make you look like an alien when wearing them. I have a somewhat large head, so I don't need something to make it look bigger! :)
4. When listening to music on these it seems just as audible outside of the headphones as inside. In other words, I hope you don't plan to wear these in an area like a classroom or library because everyone will hear what you hear.
5. Instead of it just being quiet when you turn on the noise canceling you hear a very audible hiss that is louder in the left ear than in the right. Just in case my ears are bad, I swapped them around and the louder noise followed to the right ear.
6. The artificial pressure feeling on these is not as bad as the JVC HANC250 pair I sent back, so at least these are better than the JVCs! The JVC brand also amplified every footstep when walking with the noise canceling on and their hissing sound was just awful and annoying.
7. Even with my large head these Audio-Technicas are comfortable.
Digital camera Review: Love 'em
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones are great - great quality for a fraction of the price of the Bose. We love 'em!
