Home Audio & Speakers : Aiwa HP-CN6

Excelent sound quality, and noise cancelling ability. Cancelation compares well with the vastly over priced Bose headphones. The straight bar top is sometimes awkward (and maybe unstylish), and the tendancy to sometimes collapse at the mid joint are the only drawbacks I found. but the pros far outweigh the cons...

I bought these for mowing the lawn & field. I have not tried them on an airplane nor plan to currently. I use a small yard tractor and a larger diesel field tractor. Regular headphones have to be turned up so loud they aren't usable, and I'm afraid of hearing damage.

I was pleasantly surprised at how effective these are. They don't make all of the engine noise disappear, but they cut it to a minimal level and make listening to music enjoyable while mowing. Some reviews mentioned a high hiss. While in use, I could only hear muted engine noise beneath the music.

The noise cancelling on/off switch is easy to access while wearing and although the rigid plastic frame of these seems awkward, it works OK and I found the phones comfortable in 90 degree heat. Probably more comfortable than a set made out of black padded plastic. The silver plastic seems to reflect heat from the hot sun better than a good set of standard headphones I have did.

The Aiwa HP-CN6 noise canceling headphones are poorly designed and cheaply constructed. Featuring a folding design for compactness and easy travel the headphones rests poorly upon the head, feel cheap and would seem to be easily breakable. Earphones are covered with a cheap soft foam cover, similar to what you would expect from $9 bargain headphones. Battery compartment rests uncomfortably on the right side of the head and makes you look a bit odd. Overall sound quality and noise reduction is pretty good for a lower cost headphone.
