These are way cheaper than any of the brands of noise canceling headphones I've seen in stores.

So much so that I really would like to find a review or two to make sure that these do what they promise - I'm sure you know the one that starts with too good to be...

Still looking for my review, if any of you know anything about this brand/have personal results to share, do tell.

They seem to have 4-5 stars all around. Check out what I found on Google Shopping. http://www.google.com/products/reviews?cid=fcdf19daca4eaae7&sort=1&cat=merchants&fq=Akari+Digital+Tranquility+6+Noise+Cancelling+Headphones

Oops. That was the URL to seller ratings. I can't find the URL I was looking at before. Sorry. But the reviews I saw were positive!

This is a good deal, even with the shipping, so I just bought a pair. I spent more than $30 for Maxell noise cancelling headphones at Walmart* (* when Walmart sold them), which didn't hold up well to normal wear and tear (I went through 2 sets of the Maxells). These types of headphones are excellent for listening outdoors (especially when mowing the grass, using the snowblower, or just filtering out traffic noise). I hope these are decent (they are worth the risk at this price).
