JVC HA-NC250 Review

By Frank Lewis (cnet.co.uk) Read the full review

Over-ear headphones

Comfortable ; good sound quality ; good noise-cancelling capabilities

Non-folding design ; battery compartment is badly located

The JVC HA-NC250's impressive sound quality and excellent noise-cancelling features mean these comfortable cans are a good option for weary travellers. The attractive price doesn't harm their cause either

1. Budget friendly AND does what its supposed to do

1. Cable is way too short, so if you want to move w/ them maybe invest in a longer cable

Comfortable ; Good sound quality ; Good noise-cancelling capabilities

Non-folding design ; Battery compartment is badly located

Conclusion We hate the hard-to-get-at battery compartment, but this is a small fault on what is otherwise an impressive pair of headphones. If you're after a comfortable set of cans with good sound quality and great noise-cancelling features then these...

JVC HA-NC250 Noise Canceling Headphones review

By (cnet.com)

The JVC HA-NC250 Noise Canceling Headphones make a great travel companion for those who demand quality sound. And they may not be cheap, but they seem that way next to the Bose QuietComfort 3.

The JVC HA-NC250 Noise Canceling Headphones are comfortable and offer good sound quality, including tight bass response. The headphones work with or without the noise-cancellation feature activated. JVC includes handy accessories such as a compact,...

The cable that comes with the JVC HA-NC250 is too short for nonportable use.

($350), the HA-NC250 seems downright affordable.

This JVC headset will provide you with an excellent listening experience. They are capable of playing a wide range of sounds and can cancel up to 85 percent of ambient noise. Since they are lightweight, these noise-canceling headphones won't weigh your...

One battery lasts 50 hours

The design doesn't isolate noise as well as others

These headphones will give you long-lasting noise cancellation.

They also have a playback time of 50 hours on only one battery, which is better than any other headset we reviewed. The JVC HA-NC250 headphones may look small, but they deliver big sound.
