Goldring NS1000 Expedition

Majority of noise cancelling headphones are in the hundreds of pounds but these are a reasonable price and great. I previously bought a pair of Sony ones for £34 from Currys but they didn't cancel any noise whatsoever. These ones are like hearing everything under water or with ear plugs ones. There are some sounds you can hear but very faintly. Listening on a bus I can hear my music and not the annoying conversations going on around me. I used them on a train and all the sound from the engines was erased. I love them. You really feel like you can hear your music so clearly, it's almost like hearing it again for the first time. The case the headphones come in is great too, there is even a little pouch for the cord. The only two negatives and they are smallish ones that don't really detract from the positives, are that whilst most headphones have a band that follows the contours of your head, these ones jut out slightly at the sides and looks a little strange, I think they look less flattering than the standard look headphones. Also, when playing my music, which is loud but I don't think ear-deafening, remove the headphones and the music can still be heard by bystanders. I'd rather not share my music tastes with other people. Although I think it is slightly diminished when they're fitted to your head. Overall I still strongly recommend these headphones. The best thing I've bought for a long time.

I bought these after much careful review reading on many different sites and was swayed to these because many of those reviews compared favourably with the (much more expensive) BOSE headphones. Since I don't spend a huge amount of time listening to music or movies through headphones and only wanted them to get some peace on long haul flights a couple of times a year, the price of these ones appealed to me.They're quite comfortable to wear with a reasonably long cable and a double pronged adapter for using in-flight. The battery life seems quite long (I put a battery in the first time I used them, for 24-48 hours and the same battery showed no signs of slowing down when I next used them six months later for 12-24 hours).They come in a good, sturdy case for storage and there's a little pouch velcro'd inside for storing the cable - I put some other cables I was travelling with in there too and they fit nicely. I also put a sleep mask in there so it's handy for my travels. The case is a little bulky to be travelling around with long term, as I found when I was backpacking, but it does keep the headphones nice and safe.I used these headphones with and without the noise-cancelling switched on and the difference was remarkable. The clarity of sound on a noisy aircraft meant I could enjoy watching the movie without pressing the earphones to my head as I'd had to do before I bought these.I'd definitely recommend these if you're planning a long-haul trip.

Bought these in anticipation of a couple of long haul flights and happy to say that they have already paid for themselves in terms of making the journey more pleasant. The noise cancellation is pretty impressive for the price, drowning out a huge amount of aircraft noise on one flight where I sat next to the exit door just behind the wing for ten hours (and honestly, it was almost unbearable without them - take heed those paying £35 for extra leg room on Delta).Sound quality isn't that amazing, its certainly passable and engaging, but lacks a zing. But given their purpose and price, it's understandable.The one AA battery is still going after 25+ hours of use, and the case plus accessories are a nice addition. One massive plus is you can turn on the cancellation without having to plug in the cord, so you can use them independently of any input just to soak away a huge percentage of background noise. They work as audio headphones with or without noise cancellation engaged too, unlike some, although the sound is markedly different, so if the battery does run out you are not left with just massive black plastic earmuffs.Styling, is slightly cyberman, but quite restrained and a little more subtle than some. Just a subtly Goldring and "G" logo's. The blue LED to indicate "ON" is piercingly bright on a night flight however, we're taking laser pointer bright, so you might want to relax that a little with a dab of nail polish or a little bit of frogtape before embarking.All in all, I'd buy another pair tomorrow if these were snatched from my little paws! Nice job Goldring.

Having had to undertake a number of long haul flights I decided to take the plunge and purchase a set of noise reduction headphones - the only problem was how much others from well brands cost - how many can justify paying best part of £200 for a set?I saw these from Goldring and decided to take a closer look at the reviews and they compared well so ordered 2 pairs.Delivery was fast, packaged up well with travel case, battery, leads and gold connectors.Headphones are easily turned on via slide switch on side, connections high quality and they sound great with a rich bass and clear top end.Comfortable with soft cushions which fit over the ear, I wore for 10 hours on flight to Mexico with no issues.Noise reduction system is amazing, you cannot notice anything other than what you are listening to once active.Battery lasts 15 hours, I've opted for high capacity rechargeable items for easy use going forward.In total I have purchased 4 of these and all are performing well with no problems. They also fit children very (and look cool, said my 7 year old!)Highly recommended purchase

Cependant, basses pas assez prononcées à mon goût.

Ottima qualità audio e solidità del prodotto, peccato per la cuffia un po' piccola che sconsiglio a chi ha le orecchie grandi

Reçu cassé, j'ai retourné immédiatement.C'est dommage car j'en avais déjà eu un, et il a bien fonctionné pendant plusieurs années sans soucis.Sur le long terme, les plastiques se sont cassés et l'arceau ne maintenant plus la tète. Je voulais en racheté un second car j'en était tout de même content, sauf qu'il est arrivé pré-cassé...Vraiment dommage car les performances du système de noise cancelling sont excellente, je dirais du niveau d'un QC25. Il sonne un peu moins bien et est un peu moins confortable que ce dernier cela dit, mais c'est pas justifié par la différence de prix.
