Does what it promises

This is my third set of noise cancelling headphones. This one works well, is lightweight, doesn't make a loud buzz when the noise cancellation feature is working and has good sound quality. The only improvement I would make is to add volume control to the headset.

trade offs

I have had these headphones for well over a year.
OK sound and the noise reduction (not cancellation) works.
I am sure there are far better products that provide superior noise cancellation and sound, HOWEVER given the price, this is a real value.
Happy with my purchase and have used them on a plane, mowing the lawn and on a noisy treadmill.

Well worth the price.

Just fine

Got these while searching for work, via planes trains and other trains. They work fine to take the worst part out of plane travel and louder subways. While on one flight I borrowed somone's BOSE headphones for a moment and the noise cancelling was a bit better. But not $300 better. I keep meaning to take these to a BOSE store and compare them. They have a great noise simulator there to show off their gadget.

I really like the retactable cord and I'm careful to hold the wire back while it gets snapped up. If you allow the spring to yank it at maximum speed it will wear out eventually. Not having to manage the wire like all those other folks is a real bonus.

And though I don't care for how they look on my head as I'm walking around, I am always suprised at how small a pants pocket they will fit into (one can at a time).

Does the job

I purchased the JVC HANC100 noise cancelling headphones primarily to use on airplane flights, mostly 4-6 hr domestic flights I take for business trips. After having used them on a couple of flights now, my overall opinion of the headphones is fairly positive.
Positives: Noise cancellation functions works pretty well, making listening to music or watching DVDs much more enjoyable. I can have the volume at about half what I woould use without the noise cancelling function.
Negatives: The noise cancelling function has definite frequency ranges it is better/worse at cancelling. It seemed to do the best with airplane engine noise when I was slightly behind wing mounted engines, rather than the frequency of noise forward of the engines.
The headphones are over-the-ear style with a small earcup. You may find the earcup cushion pushes on your ear and after 2-3 hours it can become uncomfortable.
Things to know: The headphone strap that goes over your head seems to be sized for a larger sized head.

Great Quality, Good Comfort (Small Cups)!

As someone else has said, the only drawback are the small cups or pads that don't go "around" your ear. I'm guessing that it is designed for size as well as comfort. These have been amazing on many Overseas trips that I have taken and going from Madrid to Vienna often.

Unless you see something else that must be better, this one is a good bet.
