I was looking for a decent noise cancelling headphones, but there are expensive; then I found it, a nice and cheap headphone I could use everywhere, even in the noisy NY subway, and still I have a good and clear sound, specially when I need to listen my College lectures from my voice recorder. I definitely recommend this product.

The Creative Headset HS-400 is a quality set that includes stereo headphones combined with a nice adjustable microphone. Whether you're using it for gaming, chatting, teleconferencing or internet phone applications, this unit is well worth a look. The set is nicely designed for those that like the behind the head style of headset. The headphones won't sit as firmly on your head, but they will leave your hair untouched. The ear pads are made from soft foam and are very comfortable to use over a long time period. The bass and mid-range tones are decent for this type of headset, especially in this price range. The Microphone arm is also easily moved from the left side to the right side based on your preference. There is also volume control with a microphone mute switch, for those multi-taskers out there. :) Creative says that it is "a noise cancelling microphone." I have no complaints about the microphone, but the HS-600's microphone seems a little bit better. That could just be because of the adjustable head on the other model. The bottom line is, if you prefer the behind-the head style and the headphones are more important than the microphone, than the HS-400 is for you. Otherwise, look into the Creative HS-600 Headset with Microphone for a more stable fit and a microphone with a nice adjustable head. Other entry level headsets in the $30 and below price range include the Cyber Acoustics AC-101 Monaural Headset & Boom Mic and the Cyber Acoustics AC-201 Stereo Headset with microphone, both of which went back to where I got them from after testing. You may also want to look into the Logitech Premium Stereo Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone or another alternative. As for me, I'm sticking with Creatives, though like I said I still prefer the HS-600s. If you don't mind the wired connection, this set is worth a look. Enjoy!
