Digital camera reviews of JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black

Digital camera Review: 2 pairs so far and they only lasted 3 days
Summary: 1 Stars

I got these based on overall positive reviews here and elsewhere. After only a couple of days use, however, I started noticing an intermittent issue in which the noise canceling would cut out, usually when I would just slightly bump the side of the headphones. Some connection was being broken on the slightest movement. So I sent them back.

Fast forward to when I finally got my new ones. Used them for a couple of days, no problems. I only used them at the office and never dropped them so that was not the issue. Then, suddenly, the same issue appeared in the new ones!! I couldn't believe it! These are $100 headphones!

This time I am sending them back for a refund. Might have to go with a Sony, their stuff tends to be bombproof.

Summary of JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black

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 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-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry. Battery life is rated at about 50 hours.

The new JVC HA-NC250 combines outstanding sound quality with advanced noise-canceling and isolation technologies, for a superior, uninterrupted listening experience.

85% Noise Reduction

The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology, which constant monitors extraneous background noise to eliminate up to 85 percent. For further isolation, JVC employs a double housing structure on each earpiece, providing an extra sound insulation layer. The headphones' foam-cushioned ear pads add one last layer, not to mention they're nice and comfortable for long listening sessions.

The headphones use a single 1.5-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry, squeezing about 50 hours of use from a single battery.

Noise Reduction On/Off Switch

For convenience, the HA-NC250's active noise cancellation can be switched off, enabling you to address someone speaking to you, hear announcements on a plane trip, etc.

Great Sound

Eliminating outside sounds is half the job. For the best possible sound quality, these headphone use a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece, for high sensitivity and a great frequency response.

Ultra-Portable

For comfort and portability, the HA-NC250s are one of the lightest headphones in their class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. The phones folds nice and flat, for toting around in the included slim carring case.

Also included are the four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and 1/4-inch plug adapter, for use with a wide range of audio and video components.
