NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones

Pros:
Cons: The "Lifetime warranty" is only good if you register the product in 30 days. THAT is not an easy piece of info to find. Would not fix my broke headphones.

Broke after 3 uses

Review submitted for
Able Planet
NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Good sound.
Cons: I used these for travel only, and ALWAYS stored them in their case. The third time I went to use them, the little screw holding the earcup to the headband was stripped and let loose. Because I used them so seldom, they were off warranty by the time they failed, but for what I paid for them, they should have lasted more than 3 uses.

Good, usable headphones.

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Great Sound, Good Value, Comfortable, Lightweight, Long Detachable Cord, Durable, Volume Control On Cord, Works Without Power
Cons:
Other Comments: These over the ear headphones work great for listening to podcasts/music or watching Netflix or Youtube videos. I use them mostly without noise cancellation. About 2.5 to 3 hours is my comfort limit for wearing these.
Noise cancellation:
In my office they reduce the HVAC noise to almost zero.
In a 757 I would estimate about a 70% reduction in sound.
In a server room they reduce the fan noise by about half.
I think the reason for poor server room performance is there are lots of different fans putting out lots of different frequencies.
Yes, I recommend this product

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Comfortable, Good Value
Cons:
Other Comments: Pros:
These are comfortable when adjusted properly. Since they are packed in the case all the time it needs to be adjusted each time. They are a little tight sqeeze but better than falling off, some might still find a bit tight.
Sound is very good to great when noise cancellation is on, ok (and much lowered volume) when off. It blocks out most of the ambient sound but not as good as the Bose QC15. A bit but is that the Bose cost almost 4x these Able Planets and I cant justify this really. Quite a bit more bass then I've been having with my other headphones (one pair of Shure's and then a pair of cheap closed back cans)
Mainly use these for travelling to work on the subway/tube and flying.
Cons:
The cable is a bit thin but no worse then most other brands, also they are easily replaceable with a normal 3.5mm cable if necessary.
Wish it had a microphone input but I'm just being picky.
Recommended for its value to sound ratio. Buy them while they are still available!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this product

Sturdy with Crystal-Clear Sound

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Good Value, Versatile, Great Sound
Cons:
Other Comments: I use these headphones on a daily basis for transcription work that I do on my laptop. The sound is incredibly clear, even without using the cancellation feature. I have found that with the cancellation feature on I am able to hear clearly even on airplanes or in moving vehicles. I love having the ability to control volume on the cord. I also love that the cord is completely detachable - I have found that cords are usually at fault for headphones dying. This way, you can just replace the inexpensive cord if there is an issue rather than having to replace the entire headset. The case that these come in is stylish and sturdy. I feel like the headphones are well-protected when I travel or when I am simply storing them when not being used.
Yes, I recommend this product

Cheap construction

Able Planet
NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Great Sound
Cons: Uncomfortable, Flimsy Construction
Other Comments: Within 5 months of light use, the swivel on the earpiece has broken. Looking at it further, it is cheap plastic used to hold it together. Contacting Able Planet (which is a challenge in itself and took 2 weeks for a reply) resulted in them not offering to repair or replace the item, but only to provide a 50% discount on any open box item. Beware of this headset. The high (non-discounted) cost is no reflection of it's quality.

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Good Bass, Comfortable, Good Value, Great Sound, Durable
Cons: Cord Too Short
Other Comments: The sounds from the Able headphones are amazing. When I turn up the volume on my AV receiver (I no longer disturb my wife), it is surprising the quality of the sounds I hear when using this product. Far better than my seven speakers. The only issue is the short cord, (not really a big deal)I bought an extension cord.
Yes, I recommend this product

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Battery Use And Access, Good Value
Cons: Size, Feedback
Other Comments: I use the headphone to drown out the nattering nabobs in the office mostly for talk radio or music. The noise cancelling is sufficient though I've had others with better. My two cons need comment. I have a gigantic head (I wear an 8 1/2 baseball cap) and these just barely fit. The feedback is odd. If I take them off and leave the noise cancellation on they will feedback (high pitch squeal) when I put them back on. Turning off the cancellation when I take them off the feedback doesn't happen. the battery access is good in this model, I've had others were battery access a bit difficult. Also these seem to sip the batteries whereas other drain them quickly.
Yes, I recommend this product

Noise cancellation feature is poor
By Ike on

Review submitted for
Able Planet
NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Clear audio
Cons: Too Much Ambient Noise, Poor noise cancelling
Other Comments: The noise cancellation feature is a real disappointment. When noise cancellation is activated, the audio volume increases significantly while surrounding ambient noises remain clearly audible (conversations, fans, engines, road noise). After reducing the audio level, noise cancellation performance remains poor.
The fit of the headphones is comfortable, and the audio quality is good.
For the price and overall performance, the headphones do not deliver enough value.

NC1000CH Clear Harmony Active Noise Canceling Headphones
(APNC1000CHA)
Pros: Comfortable, Compact, Good Bass, Good Value, Great Sound, Lightweight, Stylish, Durable
Cons: Cord Too Short
Other Comments: The volume buttom is very sensitive. Sometimes while adjusting it, it cut out one ear but when adjusted just a little bit more (either up or down) the other ear came back on.
This headphone enables you to hear whatever your listening to at a very low volume.
