These headphones dont seem very popular from a google search

Seems like $40 is just right for these headphones and not so much of a special price

They also have mixed reviews on Amazon

seems ok for price, but noise cancelling doesn't seem to be a strong point with these from reviews.

  I think for anything decent the minimum spend is usually a hundred bucks, if you want a set of noise cancelling headphones that do actually effectively cancel outside noise. The TDK ones that Dick Smith sold a while back were useless too.

We have 6 noise cancelling headphones of different brands for the family. These were universally rated the worst of all of them - even compared to cheaper TDK and an officeworks cheapie 'mutant' brand. Noise cancelling is minimal.

  I had a strong sense of deja vu when I read your comment.
  
  Then I was amazed you almost typed the exact same comment from 4 months ago.

I have a pair of these. They are terrible - quiet volume, the noise cancellation is terrible, honestly they aren't even worth $40 - don't bother.
