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.

      4 out of 5 stars Good Product for Price.......2007-09-26

      I just installed this system in my house and I am very happy with it. The reciever is awesome with plenty of inputs and full HDMI. The subwoofer sounds good in my medium size room without being overwhelming (I only have it adjusted to 50%). The speakers are compact and clear. It sounds great for TV and movies, but when listening to music, the speakers seem small. My only complaint is that the center channel speaker could use a little more mid-range sound, but I can always replace it later with the money I saved with this product. I would recommend it to anyone with a small to medium size room.

      3 out of 5 stars Audio via HDMI can be misleading.......2007-09-07

      This unit does handle digital audio signals via HDMI. This means you don't have to have a seperate optical or coax cable for audio. But you won't get anything more than the DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 that you would normally get through the optical input. If you have a HD DVD player and are expecting this system to take advantage of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD audio, forget it. The HD DVD players decode these new audio formats and sends them out as multi-channel linear PCM. But this Sony receiver can only handle 2 channel linear PCM. Not the 5.1 channels you need for surround sound. So there's no technical advantage over the optical or coax connections that have been around for years.

      You may not care and you may find this to be a great system at a great price. But I wanted to clarify this point since Sony's documentation does not spell it out.

      2 out of 5 stars not what I expected from Sony.......2007-08-12

      In many ways I'm satisfied with this product, but in the most important way I'm not: the output is so low that on the receiver's scale of 0-70 I never have the volume below 50 (even after over an hour on the phone with Sony's technical support trying to maximize output). That's 70% of the full power for the very lowest I can use, and I often have to have the volume at 65 (which is over 90% of the possible volume). My previous reciever I never had to have higher than 60% (and generally only had at 30-35%). I'm surprised that Sony is selling something this crappy.

      4 out of 5 stars Very functional. Took a little getting used to. Needs volume setting high.......2007-08-10

      Like the previous poster, I wanted an HTiB to which I could attach my cable box (which has an HDMI connection) and a PS3 (which also has a HDMI connection and also serves as a Blu-Ray/DVD player). The set-up was pretty easy. It comes with a microphone you place where you plan on sitting and the receiver analyzes the speaker volumes and suggests how to better place each speaker. Sort of gimmicky but cool at the same time. I took some fiddling to get the receiver to process/output audio from the second HDMI input. I changed a setting from AMP to AMP+TV back to AMP and it started working at that point. Perhaps I'm the only one who will have the problem but I still expected HDMI to be more Plug and Play. Other gripe, though not a serious one, is that the volume level needs to be up fairly high for normal listening. Eg. volume goes 0-70 and 45 is normal listening and 65 will have your neighbors banging on your door. Just seems like normal listening should be in the 30's range. The sound quality is very good, and the automatic audio signal processing (if the sound is available in more than 1 format it chooses the best) works well.

      5 out of 5 stars Great deal for the price!.......2007-08-07

      I have been shopping around for a small HTIB for my room, which is quite small, and that would compliment my 46" lcd tv well. My criteria were: small speakers, hdmi video switching supporting up to 1080p, audio processing through the hdmi, at least 5.1 and reasonable price. After doing some research I was all set to buy the $800 Onkyo HTS894, but then I found this Sony. Info was a little hard to find as it just came out recently and nobody had reviewed it yet. My main concern was that it wouldn't process the audio through the hdmi since all other HTIB's in the same price range didn't do it. Once I finally confirmed it would process audio through hdmi I decided that for $400 it was worth a try. Man am I a happy camper. This thing kicks major behind!!! Not only does it meet all my requirements at the low price of $400, but it sounds great. I have everything hooked up to it, HD digital dvr, dvd player and Xbox 360, they all sound great, I don't know how I lived without surround sound for so long. HTIB systems are not as good as if you buy all the components separately, but if you're looking for big bang for the buck, but still want a lot of features then I suggest taking a chance on this Sony. I'm really glad I did.
