Summary: This is a comfortable, light weight headphone for occasional use. The sound is weak if you turn the noise cancellation off. You will hear some noise if you turn noise cancellation on. You also feel not comfortable for long term use. So I only recommend it for short term use.

Summary: If you could not stand carrying a large noise cancelling headphone, the Creative Lab HN-605 could be the right economical option for you. Although I found it not as effective as the other three large close ear cup noise cancelling headphones I have used, it does eliminate a significant amount of noises for its size. After going through four different brands of noise cancelling headphones, I decided to stick with a more expensive brand L with a larger close ear cup design headphone and gave the HN-605 away. However, your preference could be different if size is more important than the db.

Summary: This are decent headphones, they sound pretty good and are comfortable to wear. The noice cancellation is not very good, it seems to distort the sound and yet I can still hear other noises. These are good for travelling though as they fold up and are easy to carry around.
