Audio Technica ATH ANC20 QuietPoint Noise Cancelling Headphones Review

Are these convoluted on purpose? Stone headphones feel like glass stuck in your ear. They add the deafening noise canceling feature and have created an admirable torture device.

After a month of use, I started hearing a sharp noise. And after a few days it stopped working at all. This problem occurred right after closing the return window. I sent it back to Audio-Technica for a warranty claim. Sound quality was good when it worked.

I bought these headphones to replace an old set with a broken headgear. It was so old that I had to take a different but similar model. The old ones still work. when you hold the handset in your ear. With a little more care, I expect this new model to last as long or longer.

Not great at all! Sound quality isn't great, noise canceling didn't work at all so I sent it back. I bought one of these at the airport for a long flight and it didn't last much longer. The left ear fell off after a month. A year later they were available from Revain so I bought them and the noise canceling didn't work at all!

I didn't have any problems with these headphones as I expected from Audio Technica. Of course, they're not very durable (but what do you expect for less than $50?). I use them on the go as the sound quality is good and for the price I'd rather lose or break them than my $200 CKS headphones. I've had them for a little less than a year and am totally happy even if they die today (but they won't).
