About - Coby CV195
The Coby CV195 is part of the headphone test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, noise-canceling headphone models like the CV195 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Sound quality: Represents the tonal accuracy, clarity, detail, ambience, and dynamics of the audio reproduced by the headphone. Noise reduction: Represents how well the headphone reduces ambient noise when the active noise cancelation feature is activated. Sensitivity: An assessment of how loud headphones will play for a given audio input signal level. This is an important consideration if the headphones will be used with audio devices that have relatively low maximum audio output signal levels like some battery powered portables. Some models have 2 sensitivity levels given: one with the highest selectable setting or noise-reduction switch ON and the other with the lowest selectable setting or noise-reduction switch OFF.
