Negative Positive
Title: Good sound, bad noise reduction.
Review: Sound quality seemed very good with the noise-cancelling turned off, but the output level was lower than I expected, and bass was non-existent. When I turned the noise cancelling on, the volume level increased to what I expected but the noise cancelling didn't seem to work at all. I tried it near the refrigerator, in a car, and by the computer with its fan but it didn't seem to reduce any noise. Then I took it into a quieter room where the only sound was rumbling from distant traffic. In there, I noticed the headphones produced a sound similar to a stereo system when it's turned on loud with no music playing. So turning on the noise cancelling seemed to actually add noise. Back to the store.
