Product Description

With the JVC HANC80 noise-canceling headphone, now you can choose the most effective noise cancel mode for the circumstances. HANC80 offers both "wide" and "low" noise cancellation modes. The "wide" mode targets a wider frequency range than the "low" mode, and cancels the type of noise typically found in a commercial jet cabin. The "low" mode cancels a slightly narrower and lower frequency range, one associated with the noise generated by trains and buses. The HANC80 deliver up to 75% noise reduction, and also comes with fully padded closed earpieces which help to block ambient noise, and the padded soft touch headband ensure that they'll remain comfortable throughout a long listening. It also offers a flat foldable style so that they're easy to carry or pack, and comes with a carrying pouch and a dual-plug adapter.

Great Headphones for its Price Range 4
I just purchased these headphones and based on its price range they are great. They do a good job of noise reduction. They will not cancel out all the sounds around you. However, I was riding on the bus this morning and was able to listen to my iPod without blasting the music.

I also noticed that they were good when walking on the noisy streets of New York City. Except for extremely loud areas where construction was occurring they blocked out enough of the sound for me to enjoy the music.

The headphones have two modes, low and wide, as noted in the production description. I find the wide setting to block out the most noise.

The headphones are very portable. Besides folding up they come with a carrying pouch and an adapter to insert them into a two prong plug such as those found in airline seating.

My only issue is that the headphones appear to grip my ears too tightly and I have a small head. They are padded and comfortable, but I can see where they might become uncomfortable after many hours (6-8 hours?) of use. This is why I give it four stars.

In conclusion if I lost this pair of headphones today I would have no issue purchasing the same ones again. It works well for its price range, does a good job at reducing noise, and Amazon is offering them at a good price. They retail for $59.99 and Amazon has them at $31 the last time I checked.

Good value, one design flaw 4
As another reviewer has commented, these reduce noise, they don't eliminate it. If you need something portable when commuting, they fit the bill. They aren't particularly heavy, and the sound is better than the average set of earbuds. One minor gripe about them. You need a AAA battery to use the noise reduction feature, and you MUST remember to turn off the power switch for the noise reduction when you aren't using the headphones. The headphones appear to draw battery power even when you aren't listening to music.

Not noise cancelling 3
As regular headphones, they're OK, as noise cancelling, they're useless. Barely any impact on reducing external noise. Also somewhat fragile, the earpiece on ours broke off after a couple of months--our fault, but not very sturdy construction.

Not worth it 1
When the sound getting through is the same if the power is on or off, what does that tell you? It means that the "active" portion is a hoax. Only reduction came from something covering my ears. Also not very comfortable. Couldn't use them on a long flight.

2nd pair 5
I truly love these headphones.This is my 2nd pair;the 1st was given to a friend.I work in a very noisy environment.Working close to the machine,all I hear is a low hum.The music is very clear with my ipod or cd player.I recommend these headphones to everyone who does not want to wear ear plugs.Buy-Buy-Buy
