Product Description
The Jabra C820s stereo music headphones are specially designed for music lovers who want to make the most of their music wherever they are. The Jabra C820s are high performance headphones that deliver full-range, compensated sound through high quality speakers guaranteeing premium audio, straight from your mobile phone or other music source.
Hear the music, not the noise thanks to one of the best ambient noise cancellation systems on the market. The headphones incorporate Active Noise Cancellation technology, offering one of the best ambient noise cancellation systems available today. So, no matter how noisy your environment is, you can still enjoy your music undisturbed. How does Active Noise Cancellation work? Anti-noise is an inverted copy of the noise itself. When anti-noise is combined with the original sound disturbance it results in a lower level of noise perceived by the human ear.
The Jabra C820S comes with all the connections you need to use it in virtually any environment. For use on the move, the Jabra C820s folds flat for compact and easy transportation. It comes equipped with a standard universal 2.5mm jack for mobile phones and a 3.5mm jack for music players. For use in an airplane, the flat-pack carrying case also contains a 2-prong airline adapter. For use at home, a 6.5mm audio adapter is included, or you can use the standard 3.5mm jack.
Note: These headphones are nearly identical in performance to Bose QuietComfort headphones for a much lower price!

Doesn't use rechargeable batteries. Simply unacceptable........2007-12-22
The manual says "Caution, always use AAA non-rechargeable batteries." Rechargeable batteries that I've tried don't work in these headphones.
Forcing people to pay 100 times as much on non-rechargeable batteries and put tons of alkaline batteries into landfill is disgraceful. No matter how well the headphones function, this is just unacceptably poor design.
Almost there, but not quite Bose.......2007-12-20
I flew from Miami to Mexico City and back again with these headphones, watching video off of my Archos 604 media player while intermittently plugging them into the armrest to watch "Eye On American." I have taken many International flights in first class, during which your are "loaned" a set of Bose headphones for your entertainment pleasure. I cannot say that these headphones do as good a job as the Bose, but they do come darn close.
I did notice that although the Jabra headphones cut way back on engine noise, I could clearly hear people talking in the background (particularly those annoying passengers that jabber away on their cell phone only, I am convinced, to irritate me). With the Bose, I heard less engine noise and could only barely, barely make out anyone talking in the background. But, as other have mentioned, you do have to factor in the price difference.
As far as a rating goes when only quality is considered, I give the Bose an A+ and the Jabra C820s an A-. You would have to make the decision for yourself if it is worth forking over the extra cash to get that little bit of extra performance from the Bose headphones.
As a final comment, even though you might find a better deal on them elsewhere, I recommend you try to stay with Amazon.com for your purchase. Yes, you can sometimes [...] but you are likely to discover that the customer service, the return policy, and the lower price guarantee are sorely lacking in comparison to Amazon.com. In my opinion, it is worth spending a bit extra for the sterling customer service you get from Amazon. (no, I don't work there!)
Anyway, I hope this review helps you to some degree in your purchasing decision.
Good price, good sound, great buy........2007-12-14
These are excellent headphones. Although I've never owned a pair of Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones, I've tried them from time to time and the Jabras compare favorably. These will definitely sound better than the earbuds most MP3 players come with. I use my Jabras with a SanDisk Sansa m240 and I'm pleased with the sound I'm getting (and ecstatic with the price I paid). The headphones will also continue to work when the NR is turned off so there are no worries if the battery dies (these take one AAA for roughly 50 hours of use). I enjoy using these so much that I've bought a second pair for my brother.
Now, in my (limited) experience, noise reduction always comes with a hiss that is especially noticable when there is either too little noise to cancel or no sound is pumping through the headphones. This set is no exception. However, one gets used to the hiss and the slight pressure that noise reduction technology creates rather quickly. I use these in a somewhat-noisy office and can assure any potential buyers that the Jabras are effective in cancelling a lot of office chatter and ventilation noise. Co-workers have been able to sneak up behind me with regularity so be forewarned: you will not be prepared if your manager stops by your cubicle and taps you on the shoulder while you are browsing the sports pages instead of working.
Hiss with noise cancelling on.......2007-12-13
It seems to me that the hiss is centered in the higher frequencies - 16K and up - and most people don't hear well that far, so it does not bother them. If you are in that category - its an awesome product for you.
With the noise cancelling turned off - there is no hiss. With NC on, it even dulls the sound of a noisy vaccum cleaner so much that you don't have to turn up the volume on whatever it is you are listening to while vaccuming.
In noisy environments - like an airplane - the hiss is not noticeable. Its noise cancelling really works and could be up there with the best of the breed. I am yet to compare their NC ability with the Bose.
The cans are adjustable, not heavy, fit well and built well. Plus you can use them without turning NC on (unlike the Bose). I no longer have my earlier pair of Panasonic NC's to compare them to - but these definitely seem better - especially in terms of sound fidelity.
I'd buy them again in a flash.
Poor Man BOSE.......2007-12-04
I am listening to these right now, at home and there is no hiss sound as I read from another reviewer. The sound quality on this is comparable to the NC BOSE, which I tried but couldn't bring myself to buy them for their ridiculous asking price. Take into consideration that the source of the sound, the mp3, stereo, etc.. has a lot to do with the quality of the sound you will get from these or any headphone. I am going on a long trip in a few days and will come back to write about the noise canceling in the plane. I was lucky and was able to get these for less than sixty bucks at woot.com, as a matter of fact, I got 3, one for my girlfriend, one for me and the last, might get sold or given away to a lucky nephew.

Nice protection.......2006-01-28
Not only does this duo cover provide protection from bumps and scratches, but the "sticky" nature of the silicone has prevented many slips from the counter and from my clumsy fingers. I can't tell you how many times my nano landed on the floor before I put this cover on it. The colors are cool and my orange circle for the click wheel does glow in the dark enough for me to see it in bed at night.
The plastic screen that covers the lighted display is crystal clear and does not distort except for the very edges where the screen bevels so that it will fit under the silicone edges of the skin. I have not found this distortion problematic since what I am looking at is not on the very edges anyway.
The only drawbacks that I have found in using this skin are as follows:
1) the skin is a bit thick around the earphone plug and sometimes it seems to interfere with the plug being pushed in all the way, but a little extra attention does the trick.
2) I don't care to use the clear plastic click-wheel cover. It interfered greatly with the sensitivity of the wheel (which I think is the coolest feature of an iPod). I just use the skin without the additional clear plastic click-wheel cover since it has the first layer of silicone over it anyway.
3) The plexi clip on the back REALLY hangs on. This is a plus when it comes to making sure you don't lose your iPod, but is a bit of a hassle when trying to get it on and off my clothing.
Overall, a decent product which looks great and serves the purpose nicely. I would recommend it.
