One concern I've just bought these headphones and want to sound one warning that I think has been insufficiently highlighted in the previous reviews and that is the headphones are very susceptible to electrical interference. For example, if I place the battery holder / electronics unit ontop of my ipod nano I get a very irritating low frequency hum. I also found using these with my computer that careful placement is necessary to avoid the same noise. Finally, if a telephone rings it creates a very loud and unpleasent... more info
work well but build quality poor I had a set for a year and was very pleased with the sound quality and the noise reduction, good for trains, tube, buses and noisy streets. Then the wire into the jack started only connecting intermittently and the right channel would disappear. Contacted Amazon who were excellent and I had a replacement set within a couple of days.

The 300s are better everywhere else, including trains and planes.
