 Coby CV-191 Feb 23, 2006
By Jerry R
I hate to give these 1 star because they could have been much better:
The band on these headphones is the worst piece of junk I have ever seen. Ok now that I got that out of my system.... I bought these in the main lobby of an airport. After passing through security and into the departure area I excitedly unpacked them so I could try them on the flite. They immediately broke when I tried to put them on. Fortunately the dealer had an outlet in the departures area so I got a replacement. I tried to put the second pair on very gently and they also broke. I didn't have enought time to return the second set because the plane was bording. The force it took to break them was equivalent to breaking a toothpick (very serious). I fixed them (with black electrical tape) and then rapped electrical tape around every joint and they are solid now. Electrically they are very good with great active noise cancelling and decent sound. I'm using Bose Quiet Comfort II's at work and these are about 80% of the Bose at 1/8th the cost. The sound is pleasant with a warm bass and transparent highs although a little brittle sounding. The Bose QC's have a cleaner sound and slightly better passive noise cancelling but the active noise cancelling is similar.
It's to bad the Coby's are mechanically so bad. After reinforcing mine they're ok now and the band is much stiffer so they also have better passive noise cancelling (noise seal) but forget about adjustments and collapsability which didn't concern me anyway. I use them to listen to a small Sony FM radio while commuting on the buss instead of the Bose QC's from work. They have a detachable cord using standard mini-phone plugs which is great, they still work when the noice cancellation is turned off (the Bose don't) and they are super light and comfortable. If you buy them they will break!!! I give them a 4 for electrical performance and a 1 for mechanical quality.
Unfortunately most people are not going to be happy repairing a broken product and they should NOT have to, so they would be better advised investing they're money in something else.

Poorly made and very fragile Jan 23, 2006

"The Hawk"
This item came broken right out of the package. There are five conncting points for the folding feature and all are weak plastic hinges. The sound is ok but nothing spectacular. Save your money and invest in something else.

Coby CV191 Noise canceling headphones Mar 29, 2007
By Carey Kehler
One word describes this product; "JUNK"!
I bought three pair of these phones in the Montego Bay airport duty free electronics store on Dec 31/06. One pair broke as soon as I put them on my head in the departure lounge. I hadn't even plugged them into my ipod yet and the left ear cup snapped off.
I got them replaced right away before my flight left. That pair snapped the right ear cup off about two weeks later. My one son's pair broke on the flight home - the right ear cup snapped off after just two hours of listening. (My other son got his pair stolen at the airport which is not Coby's fault, but they are probably broken by now too)
All three pair of CV191 are broken and in the trash. STAY AWAY from this headphone. The sound quality is actually very good ... but the integrity of the phones is junk. They are very very cheaply made.
Thankfully Coby replaced two of the three phones at no charge with the CV-192. These seem to be built much better and sound just as good.

 Cheap Quality, Good Sound Jan 28, 2007
By D. Mckay
I picked these up at a closeout store locally and half expected to end up throwing these away. For the price, I was willing to take a chance. I am glad I did. You can look at them an tell they are cheaply made. I haven't folded them up fearing they might break at the hinges but the audio quality is better than any non noise-canceling set I have owned.
better than no noise cancelling headphone but not perfect Mar 10, 2009
By Jon Nelson
I purchased one of these and only one speaker worked. I purchased the second pair and they worked but I would say they arent the best quality. You get what you pay for but they do work pretty good.
