Super value & performance, long battery life.......2007-12-26
These are as good as Bose on residual hiss and has nearly as good audio (treble is better than Bose, bass a bit muddier) based on comparison, and only a bit more than 1/3 the cost when on sale. 20+ hrs on a single battery. Kills the roar with minimal hiss. Compact but secure rigid carrying case w/ room for MP3 player & its charger. Super product!
Great sound but noisy to neighbors.......2007-12-25
Just a quick note and observation on the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7. I found the sound reproduction and noise cancelling excellent. BUT, as other reviewers noted, the headphones are very loud to the person next to you. I was surprised and disappointed as I spent much time researching all headphones and decided on these. However, as a frequent traveller, I've always found it rude when I could listen to what one of the nearby airline passengers was listening to. Therefore, I returned these and spent the extra money for the Bose QC3. I am very happy with the Bose and have made some transatlantic flights with peace. I will say that the sound reproduction of the ATH is superior to the Bose, but the rest belongs to Bose. Bose is far superior in comfort. Spend the extra money and treat yourself to the better product (in my humble opinion).
Decent NC Headphones.......2007-12-25
For the money, you really cannot go wrong with these headphones. I purchased them for a trip from North Carolina to Hawaii and back. I was not disappointed with them, given the price. I was fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it) to sit next to someone who had the Bose QC3 headphones. Indeed, the QC3 did mute the ambient noise better than the ATH-ANC7 headphones, but I'm not sure it would have been worth the extra $200 or so for the added silence. The ATH-ANC7 did a good job canceling the noise, and they also did well reproducing music on the plane. Unfortunately, due to their decent ambient noise cancellation, I was able to hear a lot of noise in the music that was being played on the plane; maybe that is why the Bose isn't as good in the mids and highs that the Audio-Technica headphones are. (Do not read this as a defect of the ATH-ANC7 -- this is noise introduced by the plane in the electrical system.) The ATH-ANC7 headphones were comfortable to wear for most of the trip, but by the last couple of hours on the trip out (14.5 hours), my ears were getting sore from where the ANC7 sat. I did not use them much on the way back, as I was attempting to sleep, and they are not comfortable to wear when using a pillow (not to mention the feedback squeal when the noise port is blocked).
All in all, if you have the money to blow, the Bose QC3 may be a good option, but if you are like the rest of us, then the ATH-ANC7 may be a better deal.
Very good for noisy flight or office........2007-12-22
I bought this headphone during a trip in the Unites States and I enjoyed it at the flight back to Europe and after that each day at the office.
With this headphone and the right music you aren't any longer disturbed from any noise around you. The headphone is very very comfortable and reduces noise from outside remarkable. The sound is very good for the price and the overall impression after 4 weeks of usage in the office is brilliant. It was one of my best gifts I made to me.
Sound leakage stops it from getting a perfect "5".......2007-12-22
I got these as my Christmas present to myself as I wouldn't ask family to put out this kind of money for me a gift. I've had them for nearly a week now and I have the following impressions.
Like all the folks that mentioned this before they DO look and feel much better in person than what photos and descriptions indicate. They're well built and I've had them on for several hours at a time. Comfort was a concern as I have a WIDE head sometime anything other than earbuds are uncomfortable right from the start. These adjust to fit well and no discomfort has been noted.
The sound, also as noted by many, is much "cleaner" over the spectrum to me than the Bose QC2's that I tried with no noted "muddiness" on the bass. The sound is very nice and though I don't consider myself an audiophile, I do listen to much music of many genres. I am more than pleased with the sound reproduction and the noise cancellation feature. The music volume does have a perceptive volume increase when the noise cancellation feature is activated. The AAA battery compartment is sleekly hid in the left ear cup and accessed by rotating the cup perpendicular to the head band. The battery compartment is clearly embossed with the correct battery orientation.
To me these headphones have two huge positives. One can NOT connect any cabling and strictly use as a noise canceling device, and conversely, should the battery that powers the noise canceling circuitry die and you don't have a replacement battery at the ready and you're plugged into your sound source, you still have a working headset, sans the noise canceling feature. (the hard case that you store your headset in has a little pocket on the left side for connectors and cable which can easily accommodate a spare battery or two)
The ONLY drawback I have with this unit is the leakage that appears to emanate from the outside mics that are used to pick up the noises the headset needs to generate "negative sound" to block, creating the the noise canceling feature. How distracting it is to others around me, at this point I haven't had a real opportunity to test. Sadly, the first real test will be in another month or so when I join up with my mom when we have a 7+ hr. flight across the Atlantic. The good side, is mom is double hearing aided. So when it's time for "down time" and the engine noise is bothering me, she can turn off her hearing aids and be blissfully unaware of any sound leakage. If the other passengers around me turn and give me ugly stares or say something to me, then I'll just go into noise canceling mode only and turn off my tunes. Hopefully the leakage isn't so severe this will be an issue. Overall these are VERY nice "over the ear, noise canceling" headphones.
The price comparison, sound quality and wearing comfort with Bose makes them very attractive and a set you should certainly consider, provided one can live with the sound leakage.
Perhaps with ambient noise going on around you, your neighbors may possibly not notice the sound leakage, as we may be focusing on solely that one point and missing "the bigger picture" and it's not an issue to our neighbors. Perhaps that would be a good point for future reviewers to address. "Do your neighbors notice/object to your headphones sound leakage"? Ask them AFTER you've been listening to your sound source for a while. Then shut the unit down and see if they were distracted or "noticed" music coming from your headphones. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we've created this monster in our heads and it's not really an issue?

Product Description
The rise in demand for larger, flatter TV screens has created a move to more high quality, well designed speaker systems that compliment the screen in both aesthetics and sound quality. The looks must be slim-line, long speaker enclosures that are in proportion to the screen and a rich expansive sound that enhances the viewing pleasure. The KEF home Theater (KHT) concept fulfils these needs and the KHT5000 series has evolved to a new hybrid that moves the story onwards in home entertainment. The popular slim-line speakers are significantly improved by the addition of new drivers, which provide rich bass, clear mid-range and superior high frequency sounds. The much acclaimed HTB2 subwoofer means that the user can place it in a more desirable position and enjoy a rich all-encompassing bass.

Wicker is a classic, natural material with centuries of history and it works well for the furniture buyer who wants a home reflecting the feel of casual elegance. Wicker furniture offers comfort, versatility and functionality. It mixes well with upholstered pieces, providing texture and nature to the home environment, patio, or sunroom. Most wicker and rattan furniture originates from Southeast Asia and the materials are imported to the United States, where the furniture is assembled and finished by hand. The fabrics are from North & South Carolina mills, and all cushions, covering, and upholstery are crafted at the company's North Carolina facility. Rattan is a vine from the tropical forests of the Far East, where it grows hundreds of feet in length, and is one of nature's strongest materials. Since it does not splinter or break, it is ideal for making furniture. Once molded, solid rattan retains its contours permanently. Peel is the outer skin of the rattan pole and traditionally is used to wrap the furniture joints. Wicker refers to products that are made from reed, cane, rush, willow or other woven natural materials. Wicker and Rattan are
