Audio-Technica ATH-ANC27 QuietPoint® Active Noise-cancelling Headphones

Comments about Audio-Technica ATH-ANC27 QuietPoint� Active Noise-cancelling Headphones:

90 minutes it worked on the plane, then suddenly I was getting music and ambient sounds from the video, but no dialogue.

About 10 minutes later, nothing, dead.

New battery, new headset.

Took it back and Staples immediately swapped it out.

It only works if I plug it halfway into my laptop. And sometimes I can't find the exact place where it works.

This is weird; when I plug it all the way in (like every other device I've used) to watch a movie, I only get music and other sounds, but no voices!

I returned it once already and will have to check with Audio Technica about what's going on.

But it's lousy to buy a tool to use on all my plane flights in order to hear my computer and I can't.

Bought them to mask the noise from the TV which is in the room adjacent to the office area where I work on the PC. They seem to do the job quite well & were considerably less expensive than the BOSE units a friend uses. Only negative I have on them is that the battery compartment can be a bit difficult to open.

Good and reliable product at a very competitive price. I'm happy in having bought it and I could use it already during an overseas flight with very good result, the noise-cancelling function was very efficient.

They fit well and sound good. I'm not an audio person but to me they are ok. One thing, when I tried the noise cancellation they sounded a little bit fuzzy. I don't plan on using the noise feature so it's not a problem for me. They do block some noise even without it on. I guess I would say that I am happy with them.

Model ATH-ANC27 Quiet Point> We used our head phones for the first time at the NASCAR races in Fontana. We were very pleased with the noise cancelling capability which allowed us to use lower volumes at the races. You can still hear the cars, but the announcers come in over that. BONUS Features: the head phones are lightweight and compact- not bulky like some; you get separate hard shell zippered carrying cases for the headphones and mesh pockets for the connecters that fit in the carrying case.
