I was looking for pair of noise-canceling headphones that didn't require batteries and wanted something much cheaper than the Bose. These headphones met that criteria and they are built well for a 7-year old to handle. The sound is excellent, even while sitting on a noisy plane, so no complaints there. However, I don't really like how far the part that goes over your head sticks out on the sides, and the comfort and lightness are not quite up there with the Bose I've tried, but then again neither is the price.

These headphones had a nice sounds but were heavy and not as comfortable as I had wanted. I returned the headphones for a refund

I'm no expert on headphones. But I've used these for listening to music, watching movies, playing electric piano, etc. The range and quality are great. For the price, you can hardly complain. I've found them very comfortable, but after a long period of time, they do seem to be tight fitting (especially if I'm wearing glasses, when they press the frames against my temples).

Seinnheiser HD-280 headphones are very good, I've only used them for 5-hours so far before my son borrowed them indefinitely to use with his keyboard. The sound is very good for the music I enjoy (latin mostly), like the over-ear design. Quality and comfort are okay, after an hour or so began feeling uncomfortable, but I think it's because they still need to be broken in. It's a tight fit, and many reviewers expressed concerns with crack forming on plastic support, hope that does not become an issue for me.

While you will feel like a tool the first 5 minutes you have these on in public, that quickly goes away when you hear the quality of these. My only complaints are that the cord is a tad long, and they hurt after wearing for several hours on end.

As a bonus for my brothers and sisters who also live in the cold weather, these make great earmuffs :D
