Able Planet Travelers Choice Headphones

Great sound

I bought these because they got decent reviews. Our school requires the kids have have earbuds or headphones for at school use. Our child doesn't like ear buds so we were looking for a reasonably priced set of headphones. I purchased some at a local retailer for $5 and they broke 2x in a matter of months. I was frustrated and just wanted my child to have headphones that worked & fit. This was the 2nd pair we purchased (the other pair, a different brand that did not fit so was returned) and they are working great. We've had them for one school year and sent them back to school this year to hopefully last another year. The price we paid was decent - different colors were different prices so I looked for a color that my child would wear and less expensive. These are being used by a 2nd and now 3rd grader.

I used this extensively on my trip to South East Asia and LA instead of the headphones they give you on the plane. The music and dialog through it was crisp and deep. I kept them on my ears when I fell asleep and didn't mind them at all. I now use them at work when I take computer based trainings or watch recorded company videos. I did find them a bit bulky to store but I knew that going into the purchase. So far no complaints.

I had a pair of these for two years before someone accidentally sat on them and broke them, so I bought a second pair. They're extremely comfortable, block out the vast majority of ambient noise and the volume controls provide a very nuanced level of control. An incredible value for the price.

Good sound okay fit. Good headphones for price!

I can already imagine this complaint is going to sound stupid to just about everyone else on the world. the sound quality is great. HOWEVER, I didn't realize these were noise cancelling headphones. I looked at the product page again, assuming that I was just careless, but I'm not seeing anything that conveys that information. maybe I am not reading it right. anyway, the sound quality is great, the design is cute, but noise cancelling headphones make my head hurt. I regret this purchase -- but that's obviously a personal problem.

Lightweight, reasonably comfortable, but poor higher end sound quality. I'm using these with my keyboard, and was hoping to replace my current headset, which are heavier and tighter than I prefer. These win on comfort and are equal on sound quality for the lower two thirds of the keyboard's range. Unfortunately, the sound becomes relatively louder and brassy, my ears jump, for the upper third of the range. These will get sent to Goodwill or the back of the closet.

This is the second set I own. I love the detachable cable. I haven't found any other set of headphones that didn't have the cable permanently attached to the headset. If your cable goes bad, all you have to do is switch it out; you don't have to buy a new headset. The sound quality isn't phenomenal, but it is pretty good--certainly adequate for the price. I'm a happy customer!

OMG - These are really good headphones for the price you pay! I purchased these to use at work to eliminate the 'office chatter'. As soon as I put the on I couldn't hear a thing - including the loud ceiling fan above my desk. Although they aren't labeled "noise reduction" believe me they are!! Can't wait to try them on a plane.

The first one we bought was great. Wore it out in a few months of 24/7 use with TV by an elderly parent. The second one--the cord shorted out quickly. Wish we had access to replacement cords. We did buy a third one. Figured it's the luck of the draw. There's going to be a bad one in every batch. Third one is great so far. These are good because they're not terribly expensive, although for the price, they really should last at least a year of daily use. The biggest selling point is the in-cord volume control that the user insists on. The elderly user is happy with these headphones.
