Headphone News

Just a few days after showing my surprise at the positive reviews for the budget Targus Travel-Ease Active Noise Cancellation headphones, CNET have stepped in and dropped a pretty average review for the headphones.

With a rating of 6.5 out of 10, CNET seem to feel that most of the features of the Targus headphones match it’s $70 price tag with sound being rated as Ok but not spectacular. The build quality and choice of materials also seem to match their cost although the noise-canceling is well received.

Anyone interested in winning a pair of Sennheiser PX100 headphones might want to check the competition over at Headphonedeals right now.

It’s a fairly simple competition to enter, all you have to do is suggest a pair of headphones for Matthew to review. My choice? The Targus Travel-Ease noise canceling headphones simply because I struggle to believe the positive reviews this seemingly cheap pair of headphones have received.

With the Travel-Ease headphones, Targus have continued the trend towards cheaper noise-canceling headphones. However, noise-canceling can be a very hard technology for manufacturers to get right but according to a review in Notebook Review it looks like Targus have succeeded.

Coming in for the most praise is the effective noise-canceling system. According to the review it performed well during a flight, probably the environment where the technology will be most useful. The comfort of these cans is also noted although the reviewer did find them a bit bulky for travel use.
