can I use this with my NOkia E71???
I bought these at TJ Max a year ago… They are very quiet and very junky… The battery compartment will pull the buds out of your ears when you walk… Bad Woot
Theoretically you could, but I would opt for a better pair of headphones than these.
I bought these last time. pretty decent sound. noise cancelling works, although it isn’t as effective as a set of $350 Bose headphones.
But, for a cheap set of ear buds I think they are worth woot’s price.
I have a pair that I spent $20-30 on at Target a while back. The sound seemed fine, but the heavy battery pack made it useless for me at the gym. You can’t exercise or otherwise move much without the heavy battery pack swinging around. Also, I kept forgetting to turn off the noise cancelation switch and would burn out the battery. I don’t use them anymore.
Anything with the Phillips name should only be sold at garage sales
Seems like Woot always sells another pair of headphones when I break the old ones I bought from them last month.
I got a pair back a a local sale once- they sucked. not very good as headphones to begin with (prefer the cheap skullcandys, myself) and the only noticable effect of turning the noise cancelation on was a background hiss.
I have a set of these. They sound fine if you take the battery out and use them as normal headphones.
It’s a bird! Is it?
That’s what you get for buying personal electronics at a discount clothing store. I’m sure they would have sounded much better if you had purchased them from woot as God intended…
I love it when I look at the quality posts and see that every post is either a question about the product, or some terrible review/bash of the product.
Thanks for being honest Woot! Rock on
Woot hired a product stylist? Looks like Snoopy!
From my experience, they work good without the battery in or turned on. But when you turn it on, it does a GREAT job of canceling out noise, especially on airplanes, which is why I bought them to begin with. If only the would make an iphone version with the microphone…

Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds, look for them @ amazon there are some fake ones around, so as long that you get them from amazon directly (and not from the market place)
As a military linguist I wear headphones for 8 hours a day. I’ve used 3 different brands of $300+ models provided to me and they all use noise canceling. The noise cancellation is negligible on all of them. Over the ear headphones do more for canceling out white noise than anything in-ear that I’ve used.
Quality headphones with good noise canceling are pretty expensive. I’m guessing these work about about as good as you’d expect an $8 set of headphones to work.
In for 2… Sucker.
