Product Description

Product Description

The new JVC HA-NC250 combines outstanding sound quality with advanced noise-canceling and isolation technologies to provide a superior listening experience. The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a new technique for attaching the headphone's smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off. For the best possible sound quality, the new headphone uses a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece. For comfort and portability, the HA-NC250 is one of the lightest headphones in its class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. It folds flat, and when folded is slimmer than most competing models. Included with the HA-NC250 are a slim carrying case, a four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and ¼-inch plug adapter for use with many home audio and video components. The headphones use a single 1.5-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry. Battery life is rated at about 50 hours.

Headphones fold up to fit in included slim carrying case.

85% Noise Reduction

The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology, which constant monitors extraneous background noise to eliminate up to 85 percent. For further isolation, JVC employs a double housing structure on each earpiece, providing an extra sound insulation layer. The headphones' foam-cushioned ear pads add one last layer, not to mention they're nice and comfortable for long listening sessions.

The headphones use a single 1.5-volt AAA battery for powering the noise cancellation circuitry, squeezing about 50 hours of use from a single battery.

Noise Reduction On/Off Switch

For convenience, the HA-NC250's active noise cancellation can be switched off, enabling you to address someone speaking to you, hear announcements on a plane trip, etc.

Great Sound

Eliminating outside sounds is half the job. For the best possible sound quality, these headphone use a 40mm neodymium driver in each earpiece, for high sensitivity and a great frequency response.

Ultra-Portable

For comfort and portability, the HA-NC250s are one of the lightest headphones in their class, weighing just 5.3 ounces. The phones folds nice and flat, for toting around in the included slim carring case.

Also included are the four-foot detachable cord, airline dual plug adapter, and 1/4-inch plug adapter, for use with a wide range of audio and video components.

Great Sound, Great Value, Crappy Build Quality (the Plastic and the Earcups)
3 Stars
Great Sound, Great Value, Crappy Build Quality (the Plastic and the Earcups)
GREAT SOUND, GREAT VALUE, EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, But LATELY THE BUILD QUALITY HAS SUFFERED.I have owned four pairs of these headphones, and I love them. They are an excellent value for the money, the sound quality is excellent with deep bass and crisp treble — however, there is an issue that has popped up recently with my newer JVC headphones. The JVCs of this model that I bought three years ago are still in perfect working order and still as snazzy as the day I bought them.The last two I bought (I keep one at the office and one at home in the den) have the same sound quality as the originals but, after owning them for almost a year, it has been evident that JVC is cutting corners on the build quality.1. The point where the metal band comes into contact with the plastic sleeve portion of the headphones is weak and prone to snap if the metal band is opened too wide when you put them on your head. This is because they are secured with a locking/snapping mechanism that pops out too easily when there is pressure applied.2. The coating on the earcups flake/rub off even with only normal use that doesn't fall outside of normal wear and tear.3. The coating on the headband rubs off even with only normal use that doesn't fall outside of normal wear and tear.Despite these aesthetic shortcomings, the headphones still work well. So just have your eyes open about what will happen after the first year of use — if you buy these headphones..UPDATE: 04.05.2019One of two of these headphones finally bit the dust for good. The sad thing is that the headphones themselves STILL work wonderfully, it's just the materials that gave way. The plastic finally became brittle enough that they snapped when I put them on my head. (see new photos)
