Grandkids loved them.......2006-08-19
I purchased these for a trip to Tampa. We were flying with our Grandkids and we needed something to occupy them.
We have a Panasonic DVD player and these headphones were just right for the occasion.
They didn't totally cancel the jet noise but performed fairly well.
I would recommend them as an inexpensive set that will do the job
PRETTY GOOD.......2006-06-05
I bought these recently and think they are a pretty good deal for the money.
Pros:
1. They are comfortable and stay on my head/over my ears well.
2. They sound good. My ears will crackle if I listen to crappy headphones. These do not make my ears crackle.
3. The noise cancelling actually works.
Cons:
1. The volume control / noise cancelling control box attached to the cord sucks! It is way too big, and bulky, and pulls the cord out of my laptop / MP3 player. This really annoys my shipmates when suddenly music is BLASTING out of my laptop in the middle of the night in berthing.
2. The plug seems to be slightly smaller than it should be, cause it gets pulled out of the socket (the hole in my laptop or MP3 player) easily.
3. Turning on noise cancelling results in a reduction in volume.
They are good enough to sleep with them on.
I'm sure the Bose are better, but they better be for how much more they cost. For $40ish, these are pretty good.
But I am still looking for a replacement because the controller box really sucks. I'd prefer a smaller set, too.
Good sound quality, terrible noise cannelling.......2006-05-22
I have used this headphone for more than a year. It has very good sound quality, which worth the money alone. However, the noise cancelling is useless. Don't expect it to cancel the noise on an airplane.
No up to scratch.......2006-04-08
Sorry to disgree with the other reviewers, but I found the performance of these headphones well below par. I bought them for my wife before we flew to Germany, and I have tried them out on a number of flights since. I have found myself switching the noise cancelling on and off a number of times to check if it is actually doing anything.
I also found that wearing the headphones for any longer than 1 hour makes my ears hurt because of the pressure on them.
In comparison, I also have the a set of Targus headphones, and these are brilliant. When I switch on the noise cancelling, I have to turn the audio on the in-flight entertainment down to it's lowest level, otherwise it is too loud now that all the background sound is removed.
Regards,
Brett
Great headphones, cheap construction........2006-03-15
The first week I had these, the left earpiece's plastic "rails" which hold the earpiece in its slot broke. The parts that seem to need the most strength structurally are fasioned with cheap plastic.
Sound quality is great, with music playing and noise cancelling active, a normal conversation is barely audible in the background; great for crowded offices. Battery life is good, I've gotten 24+ hours using a NiMH rechargeable.

Product Description
The Samsung Neo Side-Sound 30" widescreen (16: 9 aspect ratio) HDTV is ideal for viewing DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. The TX-P3075WH meets the 2005 FCC guidelines for an integrated digital tuner. Free over the air high definition signals can be tuned with the built-in tuner. HD can also be displayed from an optional equipped HD cable or satellite set top box. Progressive scan DVD players improve the picture by eliminating interline flicker. The TX-P3075WH is among only a few mid-size TVs that can properly display progressive scan.
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's TX-P3075WH may be loaded with features and high technology, including a built-in high-definition broadcast tuner. It also happens to look great. Best of all, though, this amazingly affordable integrated HDTV offers high-definition image resolution (1080i/720p/480p) and a multitude of inputs and picture enhancements for a detailed, high-contrast picture. The set's widescreen dimension is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of your favorite movies, and the set's DynaFlat screen minimizes both unwanted reflections and geometric distortions inherent in standard (non-flat) screens.
For the CRT (cathode-ray tube) screen, Samsung's proprietary DynaFlat technology delivers a perfectly flat viewing surface with none of the curvature, image distortion, or detrimental glare that accompanies traditional TV screens. Hook the set up with any DTV set-top box or progressive-scan DVD player to take full advantage of its high resolution and picture-enhancing technologies.
This 800-line screen brings higher resolution than that achieved by earlier-generation sets because the individual phosphor color spots (or pixels) are smaller and closer together in this configuration. The set's multiple-focus electron gun illuminates finer spots for a more detailed picture, edge-to-edge, and it's assisted in this job by an 8-bit, 20 MHz, 3D Y/C digital comb filter and velocity-scan modulation circuitry.
Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
Another set of image improvements is wrapped into Samsung's Pro Picture 3-stage video correction: Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Pro Chip Plus (converts all interlaced analog signals to superior, flicker-free progressive scan images), and the above-mentioned three-line digital comb filter (which analyzes multiple lines of picture information to better minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail).
A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture.
The TX-P3075WH performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
Connections include 2 auto-sensing high-definition component-video inputs, 2 S-video inputs, a trio of composite-video inputs (with accompanying stereo analog RCA audio inputs), 2 RF inputs (for an older VCR or cable box), and a set of audio/video outputs for feeding a DVR or VCR. Convenient side-panel audio/video inputs foster hookups with camcorders and gaming consoles while preserving the set's uncluttered silver front panel.
A zoom screen-filling option lets you customize the view of letter-boxed DVDs from the supplied remote control, while screen-capture picture freezing lets you view still images, even with broadcast television. Convenient side-panel buttons let you configure the set and access its menus without having to use the remote.
The TX-P3075WH's 10 watts per channel (x 2) ensures sonic clarity and an ability to play loudly. Several sound mode offer dynamic audio settings for whatever you're watching; choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

Great Picture, but Analog Audio problem.......2005-03-07
I have the TX-P3075WH, and while I think the picture quality was as good as the best I saw when I made the purchase, (This would include comparably sized units by Sony and Philips.) there are design aspects that create problems for me. These issues won't affect someone using the digital audio outputs, but anyone who is outputting analog audio to a stereo, will want to know about this.
First, there is only one analog audio output; the instruction manual says that it's volume is variable, but it is NOT. You must vary the volume using your stereo's volume control, not the TV volume control like the manual says.
Second, and this is much more important to me: There are 5 RCA jacks used in the recommended hook up for a DVD player, 3 component video and 2 analog audio. If you use this configuration, the sound output to the stereo is killed. You must listen to sound only on the built-in TV speakers.
The sound is obviously getting from the DVD player to the TV, because you can hear it on the TV. If you switch away from the DVD to over the air TV, you CAN get the sound to be played through the stereo.
Apparently, the design philosophy was that even in a situation where sound was transmitted by analog from the DVD player to the TV, if the video inputs used were the digital component ones, then the only way to get an audio signal out of the TV is by digital means. The TV has 3 kinds of digital outputs: DVI, optical, and an RCA style jack.
If I leave the audio cables where they are, but I change the video input from 3 component digital connections to one composite (the jacks are designed to be dual use), the circuitry again outputs the audio to the stereo.
This seems kind of unecessary. I don't get why they kill the analog audio output. The audio obviously gets to the TV, else you wouldn't be able to hear the sound over the TV. Why they can't continue to pass that signal to the monitor out, I don't understand. There must still be quite a few people out there who don't want to bother with surround sound.
You know, I might understand the behavior, if I were outputting digital audio from the DVD player to the TV, but I can't say it was well thought out the way it is. Frankly, even if I did connect digitally between the DVD and the TV, I think I should still be able to output analog audio to my stereo.

Great HDTV and great price!.......2004-11-28
I saw this TV at a dispaly along side many other hi-def sets and the picture stood out dramatically above the rest. It has a build in HDTV tuner but my rearch shows that the protocol doesn't match the US transmission of HD signals at present and so there could be a mismatch if you hope to pull signals off the air. I am using it with a digital HDTV set top box so no trouble. Also I understand it has upgradable firmware but this can only be done by a "technician". 123 pounds and most Amoires will hold it--no problem. I has a Sony Wega and it weighed over 250 and that turned out to be a huge problem.
Also... no short picture life like a Plasma and a better and clearer image than I have seen on any Plasma, LCD, or DLP. If you want a huge screen get a DLP. If you need a 30 or so (I think they make a 32") then get a direct view tube TV like this. You can't see any pixels no matter how close you get to the screen, no lines, no abberations... pure clear picture to the point where you will see the individual grains of sand on a beach... each scale on a lizard... and just how really flawed those movie stars really are!! ha. Buy this set.
Great value for a HDTV.......2004-10-30
I purchased this TV a few months ago and I'm finally ready to review it. First off, it's my first HDTV, so I'm definitely not an expert.
The TV looks very clean when viewing. By this I mean there is only one black button at the bottom of the TV when looking from the front. Otherwise, there are some buttons and inputs on either side - but you don't have to stare at buttons during viewing. I like this simple feature a lot. The side inputs include composite (RCA) and s-video. The opposite side has volume, channel, and TV/video toggle controls.
The picture quality is great! The colors are very distinct, and the TV comes with some color presets with customization available. When hooked up with my HDTV service, there's no complaining. Watching sports in HDTV makes my TV worth every penny. I also have an Xbox and PS2 running through this TV, and when attached using the component inputs, it's spectacular.
THE BAD: I was not thrilled at the sound. For basic news and sitcoms it's okay, but for sports and movies it doesn't cut it. I purchased a Samsung "theater in a box" type system and that makes a huge difference. Also, there are only two sets of component inputs. For people with lots of electronics this may not be enough. And I'm not sure the technical details of this, but when I watch non-HDTV shows, the picture quality comes out clearer on my old TV.
Overall, I feel the TV is a very good value. At the price, it was low enough for me to get a HDTV, but the quality rivals some TVs higher in price. HDTV in general is fabulous. And at 30", it fits perfectly in my small basement!
