Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Race Tracker Black Passive Noise Cancellation StereophoneCustomer Review: Sweeeet! Summary: 5 Stars
So I work on airplanes, Im one of those guys you see scurrying around on the pavement at the airport terminal. Ever thought "wow it must be noisy out there." Well it is, let me tell you. So I bought these to listen to music and podcasts on the move at work. Of course being a mechanic Im handy with a screw driver and soldering iron. The first thing I did was shorten the cord on these badboys to about 4 inches. I then secured my IPOD NANO to the inside of the metal band with some velcro, and covered the KOSS logos with black electrical tape. Now I have a wireless, noise canceling headset for thirty four bucks. The nearest industrial equivelent is over fifty, and not as well made.
I estimate that these phones cancel noise as well as a pair of ear defenders, and I think are more comfortable,due to the velcro strap. It conforms to the top of your head better, reducing pressure points. I can also wear a hat over them, or headlight. As long as your neck muscles are stronger than al-dente spaghetti you will be fine. Just understand that these are not casual wear on the plane type headphones, but more specialized to listening to music while cutting wood with a chainsaw, vacuuming the garage with a shop vac, etc.
Anyone who complains about sound quality is an idiot. In a noisy environment sound quality goes out the window anyway. Not to say these are bad, I have a 4000 dollar home theater, 300$ shure ec3 in ear monitors, and consider myself a audio connoisseur, and I don't have any big complaints. Sure the bass is a little flat,but what is there is undistorted. They are better than the stock ipod white ear buds for sure. Other than that the sound is pleasant, clean and without annoying peaks at any frequency. Am I completely satisfied? Absolutely. These things are tough, versatile and an excellent value.
