so well people have to tap my shoulder to get my attention (or send me instant messages).

they sound good but need more highs for deaf people

Googling has shown that many people have had problems getting these headphones to work with Window 7 PC's

However, background noise like people talking will still bleed through.

Some people find these to be better than alternative options out there, but others disagree (as always)

I bought them to help me focus while studying because drilling noises, air conditioner noises, and people talking really distract me

You can easily use google to find other people reporting the same problem, so this is not an isolated incident.

and it seems like quite a few people have this problem and there isn't a fix other than returning until you get one that works.

Other people have complained about the same

Never have I been able to fly or exist without being irritated by rude and obnoxious people polluting my aural receptors with their array of infuriating noises.

Personally, I hate loud people so this product was the perfect solution to my problem

Especially annoying people

When I'm walking on the streets, the noise from the cars and people is almost imperceptible

People complained and had to switch to iPhone native calling.2

Some people are probably thinking then you should've got the sony headphones, well I would

but it may bother some people

Some people may find them too bulky to sleep in, but I've had no problems - they are plenty comfortable.

(are we becoming that lazy…people?)Build: They seem to be well built

and I also don't like how there's no way you can adjust your headphones so you can hear people talking near you like the sony mdr

People also like to try them on

I've read where some people get this problem after a few months and some after the warranty runs out.

both airplane noise and loud people disappear like magic

I read a few discussions online and saw that other people also have the same issue

The charging cord is woefully to small, I guess they did that to discourage people from listening to them while charging

The leather pads on the ear cups actually go around your ears (great for people with glasses like myself) instead of sitting on your earlobes like most "around ear" headphones.

Crying babies on plane and silly people who think it is acceptable to yell during a cell phone conversation in public, probem solved .. great audio/music playback as well ..

MINIMAL NOISE REDUCTION – VMNR would be the more accurate term Bose, but again, that wouldn’t really lure as many people it, would it?

I really like the noise cancellation, it has saved me from loud people on the subway far too often

Sennheiser — smooth and clean and handsome (p)leather, though cans are mostly plastic3

So, B&O looks like a lot at first, but it's about 100 more than the average high-end
