Title: What they really meant by `noise-canceling'... Review: I cannot believe how terrible these earphones are! I've had these earphones for two months. The only thing these earphones cancel is my ability to listen to music for longer than 5 seconds. And, from what I can tell from the 5 seconds they stay in my ear, the quality of the sound is terrible. I can also hear exterior noises (such as the AC vent above my cube...) Of course I can turn the volume up, but you can do that with any regular earphones without having to wear a battery pack around your neck, and these Philips earphones distort in the nastiest way at high volumes.I also waste a lot of time pushing the earbuds back into my ear, it's basically a second job since they absolutely refuse to stay in. As soon as they wiggle out ever so slightly the quality of sound deteriorates immediately, not that it has too much to deteriorate from to begin with. Please learn from my mistake, don't buy these earphones!! Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Falls Short Review: A so-so performance of Beethoven's finest symphony -- and the engineering of the disc hardly takes advantage of the spacial and resolution capabilities of DVD-Audio.You'd be better off buying the Leonard Bernstein recording of the 9th in old-fashioned stereo.Buy this only if you feel you absolutely need a six-channel recording of the Ode to Joy -- but prepare to be disappointed.

Title: Authenticity rules Review: As a native of Japan, I have been put out by novels written about Japan by Western authors. These novels almost invariably present inaccurate and unrealistic pictures of Japan but, due to American ignorance about Japan, often get good reviews. "Project Kaisei," on the other hand, is the first novel written in English that satisfied me in its authenticity. The book is well-researched and well-written. As a mystery, it ranks high in my list as well. It does not surprise me that this novel received an excellent review in The Japan Times.
