Product Description
The new JVC HA-NC250 combines outstanding sound quality with advanced noise-canceling and isolation technologies to provide a superior listening experience. The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a new technique for attaching the headphone's smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off. For the best possible sound quality, the new headphone uses a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece. For comfort and portability, the HA-NC250 is one of the lightest headphones in its class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. It folds flat, and when folded is slimmer than most competing models. Included with the HA-NC250 are a slim carrying case, a four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and ¼-inch plug adapter for use with many home audio and video components. The headphones use a single 1.5-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry. Battery life is rated at about 50 hours.

JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black Reviews
| 836 of 845 people found the following review helpful  Excellent performance, comfortable, great value for money, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: JVC HANC250 Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black (Electronics) I travel fairly frequently on work and the long international flights were getting to me. I'd originally bought a Solitude Plane Quiet II headset which I was fairly happy with except for:1. Quite tight around the head, difficult to wear for long periods of time. 2. Good sound quality, particularly bass, but an annoying hiss and missing treble and highs during audio playback. 3. Fairly heavy owing to needing 2 AAA batteries. A colleague at work bought the JVCs and we did a comparison. Initially I was skeptical because my Solitudes were around the ear vs the JVCs which are over the ear. We went into a very noisy server room to do the test and I have to say the performance of the JVCs was astoundingly good. All three issues that I had with the Solitudes were absent. 1. Extremely comfortable and light. Great build quality. 2. Even better noise canceling performance despite the over the ear design. Even with the active noise cancellation off,...

The Bose were an obvious option, but the price could not be justified.I have always been thinking about buying noise cancelling headphones, and with a pending trip to Australia (from New York) I decided that now was the time. Pros: Great sound quality Excellent Noise Cancelling Very comfortable Long battery life (changed the battery 2X over a 48hr use period) Nice looking Excellent value Cons: Changing the battery under the ear cup is not the best design, but not that hard to do either Tips: 1. Keep a couple extra batteries in the accessory pouch inside the headphone case 2. Put a business card in the same pouch in case of loss UPDATE: Feb, 2009 After owning the JVC HANC250 for a year they are still the best headset I have ever owned. I travel by plane almost every week, and they...

After a bit of searching, it seemed like these JVCs and the Panasonic RP-HC500 were the best all around choices. So I bought both pairs and borrowed a friend's Bose QC2's to do a comparison.*Noise Cancelling: Although I did not have as much time with the Bose, I was able to use all three pairs to listen to city street noise outside my building as well as co-worker chatter in my office. Although all three pairs did a fantastic job of removing the low frequencies (the ventilation system hum, etc.), the Bose really excelled here. It's really true that speaking while wearing them let's you hear your voice absent its lowest octave! The JVC and Panasonic pairs could not quite compete in that sense. But for blocking higher frequency sounds, the JVCs were the winners. With the noise cancellation turned... Read more |
