5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed and for the right price.......2007-11-29

A good fit, sturdy construction, does what they say they do (cancel noise), good for industrial settings, good basic style (in my opinion) and at a good price. what more do you want?

3 out of 5 stars Best Passive Noise Reduction Headphones, but Mediocre Sound Quality.......2007-11-21

I live in the city next to a bridge and wanted headphones to block out the noise of tractor trailers and trains crossing the bridge. I tried some active noise canceling headphones, but soon found that they're really best for blocking out droning noise like being on an airplane.

So I found these and thought they'd be perfect for my needs. They definitely block random noises better than anything else I've tried, but the sound quality is tinny bordering on harsh. As others have stated, they're heavy, but I was expecting that. But the sound quality is so lacking in bass and even in the mids, that they're tiring to my ears. Playing with the eq helps make them less harsh, but also removes detail from the music. I also bought Panasonic's RP-HTX7PP because they got such good reviews and seemed like they might be passable for blocking noise.

After using them both, I'm returning the Koss's. The Koss' noise better than the Panasonics with no music on, but once you play music through both the richer sound of the Panasonic's make them almost the equal of the Koss's.

These headphones are used for people in noisy jobs that communicate via radio, ie. the ground people at the airport. So it might be that these headphones are optimized for voice communication, which makes them terrible for music.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs..........2007-06-15

The QZ-99s protect my ears from the noise of outdoor equipment (lawn mower, chipper, trimmer, etc.) while letting me listen to National Public Radio and podcasts. I'm no longer bored while doing yard work, and my hearing is no longer assaulted by the equipment. They are everything I was looking for for this particular application.

Also, they let me listen to my iPod or DVDs on my laptop late at night without disturbing my wife.

I'm sure there are more exotic headphones with better sound quality, but the QZ-99s are sturdy, comfortable, and the sound quality is adequate for my needs. If you're a demanding stereophile, get something else. If your needs are like mine, they are GREAT!

4 out of 5 stars makes lawn cutting more enjoyable.......2007-05-08

These cut out most of the annoying noise of the lawn mower and I can listen to music. The earphones are comfortable over 45 min. They tend to be tight around the ears, but you can loosen the tension somewhat. I have sound reducing earphones that are better for the airplane, but not useful with the lawn mower.

5 out of 5 stars Koss070317.......2007-03-17

Why buy Boss? These are as good if not better. With these I am able to listen to my CD's while mowing my lawn. They also allow me to listen to my favorite audio entertainment while the family watches TV.

          3 out of 5 stars color dull.......2007-12-03

          The TV came faster than shipping time indicated. Overall it works alright, but the picture is really dull. After playing with it some I got it a little more vivid, but overall it is a little drab. However, it was cheap and so I guess it cannot be perfect.

          4 out of 5 stars A fabulous little TV for a den or anyone on a budget.......2007-11-21

          Sylvania's 20-inch "ED"TV with built-in DVD player is a winner. I bought one when I wanted to upgrade our second TV to high definition at the same time I bought our 37-inch Olevia for our living room (ASIN: B000H312RK see my review) and this is turning out to be the best $1,000 I ever spent.

          The little Sylvania is an "enhanced definition" television. This means it is not true high definition but can accept the high def signal although it won't interpret it exactly as your true HDTV will. But it looks great even in standard definition with an exceptionally bright screen that delivers brilliant colors and high contrast all the time.

          The 20-inch (diagonal) screen is 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep, giving it a 4:3 picture ratio. This is not HD widescreen but it looks wider than that when you watch. Part of the reason for that is the super brilliance of the picture mated to the enhanced definition picture.

          The built-in DVD player is on the back left side of the TV on a vertical plane. It's easy to use -- just stick in your favorite DVD and press "play". This is a friendly little television you'll like.

          4 out of 5 stars Excellent purchase.......2007-09-28

          Overall, I feel I made a good purchase for a great price. Picture clarity is great, nice to have the dvd player right there. Great TV for the price and size.

          4 out of 5 stars good product, good price........2007-05-07

          This is a basic, good lcd tv. It has a built in dvd player, which unforturnately will not play jpeg files (I overlooked that). I would probably have bought it anyway due to the price. It also has analog and digital tuners built in. Those and the dvd were very important to me. The picture is very good for a bedroom or other small tv type placement. When using an antenna, the digital channels do not follow the corresponding analog channel, they are grouped after all analog channels. That was kind of irritating, but not too bad.

          4 out of 5 stars TV Convience.......2007-05-05

          With the upcoming years in electronics coming up, the whole television signal will be completely changed from the traditional NTSC analog, to the ATSC signal, many people don't know which kind of a television to buy. Although it is tough, many people can't afford the HDTV's, many are considering EDTV's, and SDTV's instead. Sylvania does know that feeling for all consumers. They've definitely made some of the best quality electronics on the market, and still bring out the best that is affordable. This television does bring out that theory well for anyone who wants a new television.

          The Sylvania LD200SL8 is a 20 inch LCD television is a lightweight and convient DTV to buy, at a affordable price. The television is easy to setup and easy to operate. At a lightwieght 17 pounds, it is easy to place on your entertainment center, or hang on your television mount. The television also is sleek, and includes a DVD player that works well. It is compatable to nearly all DVD playback compatablities. It is capable of playing DVD+/-RW discs in Video mode only (not VR mode as the case with Sylvania's DVD recorders), MP3 CD's and traditional CD's. The sound really is great to listen to in crisp dolby digital sound for your favorite movies and television shows. The display is delightful and looks great, and elequently well for your cable box, as well video game systems like the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. There is one disadvantage, you can't change the screen from 16x9 widescreen, unless you have a HD converter box or antenna.

          All in all, the Sylvania LD200SL8 is a great TV/DVD combo at an affordable price for those who trust Sylvania, and for anybody on a budget. I really like Sylvania's brands of electronics, and I really recommend this for anyone who wants to change with the times, but not strectch so much out of the price.
