HP / Hewlett Packard Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard Noise-Cancelling Bluetooth Stereo Headphones:

The virtually all-plastic construction of these things is quite flimsy. After a few weeks of light use the plastic headband developed a split in the middle running from the front toward the back creating a sharp ridge that digs into the top of my head. As another reviewer mentioned they are too tight to be comfortable unless you have a fairly small head. The split in the headband of mine is probably due to my trying to loosen them up a bit. Instead the cheap plastic ripped. The noise canceling is OK, but not nearly as good as my PXC 250s, and the Bluetooth connection isn't very stable unless you don't move around much. HP should be ashamed to have their brand on these.

I got these headphones a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say I was impressed. Although neither the sound quality or the noise cancellation are as good as more expensive models, for the price, these are excellent.
Although the headband piece could be made to feel slightly less flimsy, i really like these headphones. The bluetooth adapter worked farther than advertised- i was still able to hear my music when I was about 50 feet away.
All in all, these headphones were a very good buy.

The headphones could have slightly larger, softer headphone pads.

Other than that though, it seems like a great product. The accessories it comes with are great; I like that I have the option to use them wired or wirelessly, the bluetooth adapter for non-bluetooth enabled devices was a definite plus.

The Active Noise Cancellation is decent, not the best I've heard...like if there isn't any noise, I turn it off because I can hear it slightly, but when there is noise you do want blocked, it definitely helps..... but again, you're not going to find more features and reasonable quality than this has, for this price.

The Bass and Sound Quality is great; When I first tried them out, I immediately had to show my roommates. (Great for ignoring them and doing work)

I didn't have any issues with bluetooth pairing the headphones with my MacBook Pro or iPod Touch (Gen. 3), the on-headphone play/pause/ Skip Tack buttons all work with iTunes (when you're using them in bluetooth mode), etc... But only the Play/Pause buttons can be used when using it with the iPod Touch via Bluetooth... Firmware Update, Apple?

So Yeah.... All in all, This seems like a great Product.

I use these at work and at home.
Things that stink:
I wish the range was more than 30 ft.
The ear pads are too small, and hurt your ears if you listen for a long time, because they strongly clamp on your head. I wish they had "memory foam" cups. The "foward/back" controls don't work with my vista pc.
I wish SRS and BBE was BUILT-INTO the headphones.
The high frequencies are not crisp. I wish they had used regular batteries, instead of built-in rechargeable batts. Then I wouldn't need to wait for them to recharge.
The worst thing, the noise reduction squeals when I turn it on.

As awful as all that sounds, I'm keeping them!
They are SILENT when they are supposed to be, (no hiss caused by the wireless transmission.)
The BASS is pretty good.
The ear pads keep out noise, by nature of the padding used.

I bought this to use with a Motorola phone with MP3 capability.
The Bluetooth connection yields garbled sound, although using the enclosed bluetooth adapter on a PC works fine. The phone works fine with a Motorola bluetooth headset. The wired mode between the phone and the headphones present a connection problem: I cannot find any adapter between the particular micro USB on the phone and audio plug.
All the noise cancellation seem to do is introduce an additional hum!
Otherwise, in wired mode and with noise cancellation turned off, the sound is pretty good, and the fit comfortable.

I wanted this product mostly for listening to music from my laptop as my AV Jack was ruined. I have only been able to sync the headset with my laptop for a total of two hours despite many hours of trying.[...]Its a shame I am going to bail on these because for the two hours they worked, except for a small tinny sound in the background between songs, they were completely Noise cancelling and produced wonderful quality sound. I would NOT recommend these headphones. [...]

They reduce noise as advertised (better than my Bose QC2s, in fact). Bluetooth works as advertised. You can't listen through walls, or very far away without the sound cutting out. But you can move around while listening to music. No annoying wires.

They're not the most high fidelity headphones I've ever owned, but they're the best wireless headphones that also have noise reduction.

For situations like a workshop or office where wires simply are not an option, this is your best bet.

Nobody is going to compare these to the high-end Denon or Grado headphones. But people who buy those have special amplifiers JUST for their headphones.

These cost a lot less than the QC2s, and work better. Can't really go wrong.
