Reviews around job (4.33 of 5)

  • No, not completely, sound can leak in but it does do a very good job of mostly dampening everything
  • Well, they are rather suitable for my purposes - they do a fair job cutting the background noise - are decently constructed with metal supports rather than the soon-broken plastic used on most of today's headphones - and will probably hold up well
  • I used em at the range today, and they did a better job than the muffs I usually wear while shooting
  • These headphones are used for people in noisy jobs that communicate via radio, ie
  • Sound was great and they did a good job of cancelling out the noise.

Reviews around ear (4.03 of 5)

  • I can't wear ear buds (ear infections) or on-the-ear headphones (they're uncomfortable), so these over-the-ear headphones is ideal for me in my situation
  • I don't know if its because of the noise cancelling, or if I just have sensitive ears
  • The QZ-99s protect my ears from the noise of outdoor equipment (lawn mower, chipper, trimmer, etc.
  • I'm a contractor and wanted something to protect my ears in a frequently noisy working environment.
  • They are tight headphones on the head, so taking them off kind of feels like popping your ears if you've had them on for a while

Reviews around volume control (3.80 of 5)

  • I was honestly surprised at how nice these headphones are: I mainly wanted the volume control, and that limits my options, but these are very nice
  • However, after ~3 months the volume control became erratic and at ~6

Reviews around cord (3.75 of 5)

  • The only reason i had to replace them was due to having to manipulate cord by ear to 'connect' , the sound was still awsome.
  • The audio cord is awkward too
  • The cords connecting the battery compartment made me worried, and had tried several solutionstrying to secure them, so, they wouldn't break off
  • The cord is nice and long, but at the same time, I wish it weren't hard-wired into the headphone set

Reviews around noise reduction (3.39 of 5)

  • Without any music playing the Passive Noise Reduction of the headphones blocks most noises, you can still hear some loud noises (ex. from the construction side next to my building) but become very soft
  • Yes, I may look like a metal detecting grandma, but I can't hear the Beats By Dre haters through these awesome noise canceling headphones.(Note that the static I initially reported went
  • Both volume and sound quality.- Noise reduction is GREAT on these.- Very snug fit
  • They work just as well as normal earmuffs, maybe just a little worse, but the noise reduction is SUPER!!

  • Bottom line--a mediocre product with little noise reduction capability
  • If you need excellent headphones for audio books or other spoken word recordings, I cannot recommend this product more highly.
