Good value - but it depends what you're looking for I wanted something that would be effective in a noisy office environment and bought these phones after reading the comments on Amazon. Having used them for several months, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. They're excellent at cutting out the kind of background noise created by air conditioning systems, PCs and the buzz of conversation; not so effective against someone standing next to you and shouting into a mobile, but nothing is (nothing legal, at any rate). The effect is probably best described... more info
Great sound, belt clip proved fragile First of all let me say I have NO complaints about the quality of these headphones. However, the belt clip has proved very fragile and broke after only a few days careful use. The noise cancelling is not quite as "aggressive" as the 250 series, so if you're planning to use them on the tube I'd recommend the 250 over the 300. However, the quality of the 300 in normal conditions (train, plane) is superb, and much better than the 250.
Good, but very sensitive to mobile phones The noise cancelling works well on background sounds such as the rumble of the underground, an aeroplane or a bus. It does not filter out voices and other non constant sounds. I purchased my one to use with an iPhone, and found the following issues:
* You will need an adapter to plug it into the iPhone's recessed headphone jack
* You will clearly hear the normal mobile phone buzzing sound whenever your phone is active on the GSM network.
Noise Reducing - Not Noise Cancelling. Faced with the prospect of a flight half way round the world, and back again, I decided that I needed something to reduce the omnipresent and oppressive noise of a 747 economy cabin. After much reading of specifications and reviews, I plumped for these headphones by Sennheiser, being unwilling to pay the premium price charged by Bose for their QC `phones. The first thing to bear in mind with these, is that they are `noise reducing' NOT `noise cancelling'. They will not, for example, block out the sound... more info
