from my review of the Turtle Beach PX5 headphones - http://www.29-95.com/time-suck/story/turtle-beach-px5-headphones-bring-5... - you know I love sounds. I love the science of sound - the Doppler effect, deep vibrations from bass. Until I took these headphones for a spin, the best headphone's I've owned have been a pair of Bose "QuietComfort" headphones. The noise canceling was awesome. I could flick the switch and literally hear nothing. I tried a set of Plane Quiet Solitudes that did an ok job, but still couldn't compare to the Bose.
I even went to a few Best Buys and tested several headphones, including Beats by Dr. Dre - Monster High-Definition Over-the-Ear Noise-Canceling Headphones and wasn't impressed. For me, if a set of headphones couldn't compete with the Bose QCs, why bother?
It wasn't until I slipped Able Planet's Clear Harmony headphones on my ears that I found a worthy contender to fight the champ.
The Clear Harmony headphones use Linx Audio - a technology that removes undesirable sounds and enhancing sound reproduction and speech clarity. Basically, it allows users to hear music in a live, concert-like setting with excellent clarity.
The headphones operate off of 2 AA batteries - but what's really awesome about the headphones is you can listen to your music with or without the Linx Audio enabled and still get great noise canceling sound. I haven't tested the headphones without the batteries to see if batteries in the unit are necessary for the noise-canceling feature.
The construction of the headphones is what you'd expect from a set of $350 headphones. The headphones aren't flimsy - they are sturdy and can take some abuse. The case the headphones came in has an elastic band to keep the headphones in place, as well as a contoured hump to put the headphones around. The unit I received also came with aCLEAR VOICE™ Linx® Microphone - for use with Xbox LIVE and a cable to hook into the controller - and a couple of stereo adapters. While I was expecting to use the Clear Harmony headphones with my 360, I was never able to get it working. Oddly, even though a cable included in the box was labeled "Xbox 360" and fit into my wireless controller, I could never hear sound out of the headphones.
The ear cups on the Clear Harmony headphones fit comfortably on my ears. After a few hours, I had no problems wearing them. They go over the ear, which helps seal in the deep, rich sounds.
