Able Planet NC1100B Clear Harmony Around the Ear Noise Cancelling Headphone (Black) Review

The headphone are pretty amazing. I have doubted about the 5 star reviews as I read the remark that somebody might have got paid for writing the 5 star reviews. I am almost positive that they are fake. However, as the price dropped to $97.00, I decided to give it a try. I had some good experience with Linx Audio, so I knew I wouldn't be too disappointed. I have been using them for more than a week now, and I simply love them.

The built quality (5/5)
These headphones are built to last. Very high quality plastic. It reminds me of the high endurance outdoor carrying case for my SLR cameras. The cushions are very comfortable. It stays in place very well and looks good. As it is the highest end from Ableplanet, you can tell they are putting the best materials they could to make these headphones. Talking about the overall comfortableness to me, I wish they could have a larger ear cap. I do have a huge head and moderately large ears that L size cap could not fit my head. But if you have an average head size, I would say they would be very comfortable to wear.

The sound quality: with NC on (4.5/5) without NC on (3/5)
The sound is very impressive. Without active noise cancelling on, these headphones sound about average. I have to say the bass is over-emphasized and muddy. The highs and lows are simply not there. However, as the NC is on, these headphones are unbelievable. It can be totally compared with the sound quality of Bose QC15, sennheiser 380pro, and even byrdynamic DT770 pro. For this price ($97), I can't find anything could sounds this good and has noise cancelling. I have to say the bass is still artificially boosted, but it really doesn't affect the overall sound quality at all. There is a bit hiss noise generated in the sound field inside the headphone after turning on the NC, but the noise level is low and not quite noticeable. TO be honest, I am so surprised when I compared them side by side with Byrdynamics DT770pro. Seriously, they almost sounds as good as DT770pro. And if you are not having a well trained ears, you would be amazed by the sound quality!

Noise cancelling (3.5/5)
If I define the NC to be 5 stars for Nokia BH905i and Bose QC15, 3 for Panasonic RP-HC 720, these headphones would be 3.5 to 4 stars. The noise cancelling response is fast and very effective. Please be noticed that NC technology has its own flaws. TO completed generate the 180 degree phase shift sound wave to cause a complete destructive interference is just impossible, it also creates pressure at your eardrum. For high frequency and random and impulsive noise, you just can't expect active noise cancelling would do anything about it. As for these headphones, they do perform well on active noise cancelling. I tried them in my lab where more 30 fans are doing either the ventilation or heat deduction. These headphone significantly reduce the noise and with music on, the noise completely disappears. Pretty impressive for this price range. I have to say Bose QC15 is doing a better job, but for that price tag and build quality, I would never recommend it. On the other hand, Nokia BH905i has 8 microphones that shut down the noise so effectively, but the sounding is not great and it cost $100 more because it packs in extra features such as control talk and bluetooth.

Bottom line, these headphones are really great at the price tag ($97). It definitely does not worth the $299 in my opinion, but at $97, it is a steal. You will love it. Highly recommend it.
