What is it: Noise-cancelling headphones
What we think: Nice enough sound for the price, but the noise cancelling isn't that effective
What you need to know

We like:
Decent sound quality; nice build; carry pouch included
We don't like:
Earcups are too small; noise cancellation not very effective; sound leaks out
You might also need:
An MP3 or CD player
CNET.co.uk judgement:
For the price, the JVC HA-NC80s offer an acceptable sound quality, but the noise-cancelling feature just isn't up to what it could be. Anyone on a budget should give them a try, but if you can afford more money you can find much better performance
