sweet… incase the 3 sets of speakers and 2 other sets of earbuds you’ve bought this woot off isn’t enough…
Good?
It’s for all the various mp3 players that come up during a woot-off
I stayed up for more headphones?
Woo Hoo, I got three!! You can’t beat these things for the price.
Ewwwwwww needs batteries. Pass.
it won’t let me buy ittttt!
These are noise canceling so you won’t be bothered by those other speakers.
reminds me of the Rorschach Test
Horrible reviews on Amazon:
I’ve owned these headphones for about 3 years… the noise canceling is actually pretty decent - used it on multiple plane flights to great success.
Hooo Ya! Got 3!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for its price point (@$29), August 6, 2006

These were the only “in ear” headphones I could find that claimed any noise cancelling properties.
Having tried a few from the apple store, namely their in ear sony made model with switchable rubberized ends like the philips, and their set that wraps around the back of your head for around the $25 price point, I could never get either them to stay in. 10 years ago finding in ear headphones with a plastic or metal link between them that went up over your head was not an issue. More difficult to find those today, being that in ear models are convicted of causing more hearing damage.
I wanted something noise cancelling for business travel, but no so large that they would add much bulk to my travel bag. The noise cancelling feature was optional for me. I’ve been very interested in it, but not enough to spend hundreds.
These seem to be a decent mix. Sound quality is great for the price, and the sound cancelling is moderately effective. I enjoy a clear bass and these do pretty decent compared to the average in ear sony set that doesn’t boast extra bass capability.
The noise cancelling works at least enough to not hear voices if a TV is on, or someone is talking near me, especially when trying to listen to music. As others have said, not as effective when the noise cancelling feature is used while not listening to music.
For covering the light stuff like typing, background hum, TV reporters voices, that stewardess’ squeaky beckon, etc. these headphones do a fine job at a low price you won’t mind losing if you forget them or lose them. One of the reasons I stayed away from the more expensive sets that cost more than my ipods…
I recommend many vodka red bulls for all night wooting.
How did you type all that so fast?..
Oh i see now, don’t burn me! ahhhhh!
Woot, got 3 :). I’m actually on the ball for once :/. I’ve been wanting some in-ear noise cancelling 'phones for a while, but I’m really, really cheap; hooray for woot :D.
Stunning. The “sold out” message is up longer than the actual items are on sale. Do they have 1 of everything this time? And curse you Woot for having a Woot off on my 2nd day at a new job - I shall stare longingly at my unused F5 key and fret over what I’m missing.
I bought these from woot before. I would recommend passing. Great price as always from woot but…they can be very uncomfortable at times, the cord does not seem long enough, and I found that I had set the on/off switch box on the table because it was so heavy…if it happen to get pulled off the table the weight would end up pulling atleast one of the earbuds out of my ear. On top of all that the right earbud stopped working after a few months. I wouldn’t get another pair even if they were free.
