Best noise canceling capabilities and most comfortable headphones in this class.

Tight fitting earbuds (with inserts to match your ear size) produce the same net result without the bulk and does a better job of killing high-frequency noise from a child crying

I have a couple of Noise Cancelling Headphones but Bose is the best in sounds, noise cancelling, and comfort!

They have this feature called noise-rejection that actively clears outside noises

Great noise canceling and sound quality

WH1000XM2The sony has a bunch of Bluetooth codecs Aptx Aptx HD AAC LDAC and includes a good 3.5 inch stereo cable if you want to use a wired input--plus it has better noise canceling and battery life than the bose QC 35I checked a lot of reviews on youtube and online, nobody mentioned the lack of Apt X codecs.

The ANC is phenomenal; even on high, I can hear just enough environmental noise to keep me aware of where people are around me, but it absolutely doesn't interfere with the audio.

Excellent noise cancellation.

Even if you're not listening to music, having them on at home or the office keeps the random noises and chatter out

Picked these over all other high end over the ear headphones bc of the superior active noise cancellation.

These headphones have the most incredible noise cancellation I have ever heard

Awesome noise cancelling.

Yet the better noise cancelling would be an acceptable tradeoff for me for long airline flights

I think the main selling point for the Bose QC line is the exceptionally amazing noise cancelling sound that no one besides Bose can seem to replicate

The Best noise cancellation, powerful mike, light weight, very comfortable to wear more than 8 hrs a day

I didn't pay $350 to have more unwanted noise in my ears and one more damn machine bossing me around all the time

Good headphones - but not necessarily noise cancelling.

I like how you can change the amount of noise-canceling (handy for inflight announcements) and the companion app seems really

Also notes on the noise cancelling- pretty good, but is it worth it if I can't trust it when connected with the cable and not Bluetooth

The ANC is absolutely great, and its passive noise isolation is a ton.

I tried other headphones on the market and was not able to find one that had clear audio and good noise cancellation until now

The noise cancelling works so well.

Excelent active noise cancelling and confort

The noise cancellation and isolation is among the best I've heard, but the sound quality is disappointing and far below what I expected from Bose

And they seemed ok,, noise cancelling not as good as my sony wh 1000xm2 and the sound out of the Sonys are far superior in my opinion

you do not need good noise cancelling, just buy the average wireless/bluetooth headsets, some do sound amazing.

this is an outstanding pair of bluetooth headphones for those who desire simplicity with incredible noise cancelling, comfort, & GREAT sound

Look closely at the Sonys for better sound quality and just as good noise canceling.

Great noise cancellation.

The Sony have active NC that very notably feels like you sucked the noise of a room

I have owned several cheaper noise cancellation headphones

it requires you to be connected to a smart device (phone) running the Bose app. which means two things - one, even if you have a device with the Bose app, and you are not connected to it, the noise canceling button DOES NOT WORK

Fantastic noise cancelling

Pros: decent noise cancellationDecent soundGood bassCons: squeezes your head too muchHas connection issues via BluetoothNot completely noise cancelling

Great noise cancellation

Decent noise canceling, but audio quality is of very low quality when listening to music

I feel like they're a little over rated, yes they cancel out noise better than most of the competition but the sound hasn't exactly blown me away

2) do not ever upgrade the firmware, or you will lose the great noise canceling and never be able get it back.

And even though Bose was kind enough to replace the first set, the replacement still makes strange and quite loud noises

Wonderful headphones with impeccable noise cancellation

Easy to set up and good noise cancelling

Other than the terrible battery life, I highly rate the headphones for comfort and superb noise cancelling

Tip: If you really want the best sounding headphones around this price and you MUST have noise cancelling check-out the Shure 535 in-ear headphones which have far superior sound in every way and better (alas passive) noise-cancelling

They’re a bit expensive, but these are by far the best wireless noise cancelling headphones I’ve used

The sound quality is magnificent, and they do cancel noise quite well

grrrr).Glad I did!.The QC35 is lighter, more comfortable, and has better noise cancelling than any of its older siblings

Good audio, great noise cancellation, crappy mic, horrific at connecting to and switching between multiple devices.

Good noise cancelation

Sony gives some high-frequency hiss ("white noise", like the sound of a distant wind) when NC is on

Unfortunately, I lost it in the airport and decided buy another headphone Bose QuietComfort 35 II.Different from WH-1000XM3, it uses passive noise cancelling which is much worse in my experience

They sound great, have good noise canceling, excellent battery life, and are super comfortable, but this might be the last pair I will ever own with the quality being so poor (especially for what I paid for them)

My father works in the engineering lab, the headphone cancels the noise there well

Despite these minor flaws, there are plenty of good things, like a great carrying case, amazing battery life, good range, quick charge time, can connect to multiple devices at once, and have amazing noise cancelling (which you’d expect)

Great noise cancelling, such a comfortable

It has awesome sound and great noise canceling

Passive in-ear headphones have better passive noise cancelling

These are a very good set of headphones, with top-notch noise cancellation, comfort, and sound quality

Great noise cancellation, and great audio quality

They sound great, feel even better, and cancel noise incredibly well.

I didn't realize just how good the noise cancelling function worked until I took the headphones off for a minute

and it appears it was an issue with the headphones not having sufficient shielding between the right and ear cup, and the noise canceling was causing a feedback-loop that caused the loud noise to emit

Super comfortable, great mic, and the noise cancelling works like a charm.

The Noise canceling works very well.

Good noise cancellation, excellent sound quality

These headphones didn't just dim the ambient noise like the Audio-Technica's, the Bose headphones completely eliminated all of the ambient building noise.

They eliminate unwanted noise

I’m sharing space downstairs with family, so it’s nice to block all the other noise out while I enjoy my own entertainment

Have been wearing these for weeks at airports, walking around town and at work.. and these are by far the best noise cancellation headphones i have used.

The Bose headphones give great noise-cancelling While also producing excellent sound quality

ConclusionEven though the Sony produces superior sound, the litany of other features (superior noise cancellation, intuitive controls, comfort, style, & phone performance) won me over to the Bose.

I can't say enough positive things about these truly affordable and amazing noise cancellation headphones

But, as much as I love the coolest thing about these is peace and quiet noise-cancelling... they will not stay on my small head, and for $200, I kinda expect perfect fitting headphones.

The best noise canceling headphones on with best sound quality

It's wonderful to have that silence on long commutes, when the noise of the bus can get a little overwhelming

Not full noise cancellation but muffles most of the sound which works well to get in the zone.

Lots of unnecessary noise

I spent DAYS researching the most comfortable noise cancelling headphones

I do think these have the best noise-canceling in the industry, including the Sony MDR-1000X (or current WH-1000XM2)

Good audio, great noise cancellation, crappy mic, horrific at connecting to and switching between multiple devices.

If you're looking at these for just audio use and excellent noise cancellation, definitely buy.

If you want the best noise cancelling headphones--these or the original QC35 are it

If someone walks up behind me, I often don't notice them because i have my headphones, but it seems that is more that i'm zoned out than due to good noise cancelling.

I am a long-time Bose QC 25 user, so I'm used to good noise cancelling

The noise cancellation is good enough to warrant just wearing headphones to read a book and quiet the engine noise or captain’s updates over the loudspeaker

Great noise cancellation, no complaints

I was super surprised by how well the noise cancelling technology works

Tried it out on an International flight - great sound and really eliminates the airplane loud noise.

Excellent noise canceling during flying

Cons:- Noise cancelling distortion

They have really good noise cancellation, sound quality is good, bass is okay

Great noise cancellation even w/o music playing and also very comfortable

Although the noise cancelling capabilities of their main Sony competitor may be better, these don't disappoint

There's a high and a low setting, plus an "off," but even when it's turned off, the passive noise cancelling is very nice

I somehow expected better noise cancellation

Pros: Good noise canceling, comfortable.

START AN ANNOYING NOISE IN THIS VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE HEADPHONE

Best Noise-Canceling headphones

-Hassle free because no wire-Great, crisp sound; truly noise cancelling

It also helps that it tunes out all the unnecessary background noise.

Below are the pros and cons of each,XM2:Pros - Great bass with the best low end rumble, accurate sound/timbre especially in percussion instruments, ~25hr battery life, excellent noise cancellation, no wear in pads after two years of usageCons - Fatigue after 4-5 hrs, gets a bit too warm, a tad heavy, pads have become a bit slim though no wearXM4:Pros - Same as XM2, better sound stage, a bit lighter, didn't get as warm and seems a bit more comfortable than XM2Cons - Low end bass/rumble not as good as XM2, ear cups seem a bit smaller and likely impacting the sound stage, headband shorter and less adjustable than XM2QC 35 II

Noise-rejecting dual-microphone system is amazing

Sound quality & noise reduction very good but too many user interface niggles for a product at this price

For music, initially, fiddling with settings was fun to get the best noise reduction and the sharpest sound, but after a few months, it became a hassle, especially considering the fact that I used them daily and at times, despite my best efforts ambient noise was still able to come through

Crisp sound that quiets all background noise no matter the volume

I spent hours and hours in different stores to find the best Noise Cancelling phones for travel, and to be honest, none of them deliver in regards to sound quality and depth

Pros: decent noise cancellationDecent soundGood bassCons: squeezes your head too muchHas connection issues via BluetoothNot completely noise cancelling

Amazon’s average review is 4.5 stars and YouTube reviewers lauded these as the top noise cancelling headphones

In comparison the bose headphones are slightly more comfortable, have noticbly superior active noise cancelation, but unfortunately in my opinion have inferior sound quality

they both have better noise canceling

Yes, they're lighter and more comfortable than the Plantronics, with better noise cancelling, but there are so many no brainer features that are missing that for me, as a person who works from home (even pre-COVID), Im counting down the days with glee to get the Plantronics replacement back in the mail.

Listening to music, it does appear very minimally dampened, but I would take that quality over loud airplane noise any day

I’ve owned various noise-canceling headphones due to flying often and taking BART trains here in the Bay Area (metal on metal screeching for 45 minutes each way) and these are by far the most effective noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever owned

The Sony have active NC that very notably feels like you sucked the noise of a room

Bose Quietcomfort 35 – Best noise cancellation

The headphones fit the ears nice and snug, and the noise cancelling works wonders--a lot better than those $79.99 on-ear models

If you want good noise cancelling while on bluetooth you're out of luck

The big problem with the noise cancellation is that it doesn't appear to suppress sudden loud noises such as a train door slamming--there is a momentary uncomfortable rise in ear pressure when that happens, and as a result it is far more distracting than when I wear the B&W headphones

Works as advertised, comfortable and great noise canceling

Noise cancelling option works great

While the noise cancelling is better than that of the old QC15, there is a squeaky noise like a dial-up model when talking via zoom, other online meeting applications, or even regular phone

Audio calls Decent, but the mic picks up more noise than the Ankers, not NEARLY like the Bose though.4

Incredible noise cancelling

Very comfortable easy to use and do a great job canceling out unwanted noise.

I was having constant headaches and not feeling very good in general, due to having to be sitting at the same place all day, the bad sound quality of my laptop/phone and multiple noises in my room that were getting my attention and leaving me exhausted by the ned of the day

Outstanding noise cancelling, superior comfort, simplicity of design & features, Decent battery life (20 hours) , stable Bluetooth pairing & connection, extraordinary balanced sound signature

Noise canceling feature works well.

Noise Cancellation: QC35ii has some passive noise isolation while the 700 does not.

I was looking for excellent audio quality, noise cancellation, comfort and easy switches/buttons as opposed to touch sensitivity, good bluetooth connection and good battery life

Excellent music sound and noise cancellation

As someone extremely sensitive to sudden loud noises these headphones are a lifesaver

unbelievably great noise cancellation that's for sure

I currently work on a golf course and operate large mowers and they have great sound, great noise cancellation, and very good battery life

They're shaped so as not to press against the ears, and I can wear them all day with no pain at all.- Great noise cancelling, of course

They both produce great sound and have great noise cancellation, but I find the Bose to be more comfortable for wearing long term, as I wear mine for 80% of my workday.

Probably the best noise cancellation out there

Certainly better than the constant noise of the plane, especially if you fly cattle class like I do

The comfort and superior noise canceling just blows away the Sony.

Noise isolation/cancellation is excellent overall.

BUT what you're getting here is an excellent portable set of headphones that sound pretty sweet and have excellent noise reduction.

Cannot fully block really loud nearby noises (such as a barking dog) but does a better job than other units I've tried.

I'm a fairly audio-obsessed individual but I wanted something easy to use with good noise cancelling ability for bus rides and working around noisy surroundings

Noise cancelling works better than I would expect

and it just snaps and makes a terrible noise that HURTS your ears

The noise cancelling capabilities are as good as it gets without going for top of the line professional quality

Combined with the effective noise-cancelling, they are highly recommended

Fortunately, the QC35s made up for the cable issue with outstanding sound characteristics and excellent noise-cancelling capabilities.

Of course, they won't cancel out loud, sudden noises or noises of quickly varying decibels, like people talking, someone knocking on a door, or your dog shaking next to you

To the extent I can stand sleeping in headphones, if I play white noise through them, they cancel out all but the loudest noises and actually cancel most without any music

I decided I prefer the QC35 for domestic and QC25 for intermatiional because of the battery issue and greater noise cancelation.

Even in a. very very quiet places (like an apartment in a remote building with all windows shut) all people on other lines complain about very loud noises, and saying that my voice was just echos few times and it sounds the way they can not bear it

The noise cancelling works very well also.

Phenomenal noise canceling

clean look+ comfortable, could wear them all day+ charges super quick+ great noise cancelling, bye bye annoying co-workers+ pairs to multiple devices at

Great sound quality and excellent noise cancellation

I wear them mostly to cancel noise, work great for that.

Noise cancelling not the top of the line

Great sound, qualitycistruction, noise cancelation

Great noise cancellation, beautiful studio-like sound quality, definitely worth the price.

I must say I was intending to like the Sony's more for their marketing gimmicks like "4x better noise cancelling and all day comfort", but I found Bose's noise cancelling still good enough vs the Sony and the level of comfort on the Bose has not real point of comparison

The sound is amazing and I love the adjustable noise cancellation

Noise canceling works well as long as the volume is high enough, more effective against monotonic low frequency noises that against human voices

Works as advertised, cuts down on the loud sharp noises, I also use them to listen to music good quality sound.

Comfortable and lightweight with excellent sound and great noise cancellation

It picks up excessive background noise.

The sound had a lot of static noise in the background

Love them, can't recommend them enough and if you travel or are around others where the noise is bothersome, they're the only way to go.

Great noise cancellation, good volume and decent sound.

Love the noise

I've used some cheaper Bluetooth (non-noise cancelling) headphones in the past and you can definitely tell the difference in quality with these.

Comfortable and good sound quality with adequate noise canceling, but has to be used with the wire because the bluetooth continuously skips, and sometimes adds some static.

but amazing active noise cacellaion.

If you don't mind smaller and more travel-friendly in-ear headphones and don't mind having passive noise-cancelling on at all times

Good noise cancelling, so-so sound, and poor design

Buttons are great; I use the optional button to switch between level of noise cancellation which I love

ft house, and I'm extremely sensitive to loud noises

but they dont always cover the more annoying or strange noises i was hoping to definitley mitiagtes

Best noise canceling headphones

These have the added benefit of adjustable noise cancellation, unlike previous models

Good noise cancelling.

They block out all of the crazy engine noise

I mostly use them on flights (without Bluetooth) and love them for noise cancellation and peace on any flight.

The noise canceling tries to compensate for a signal coming from the other ear cup and works harder and harder until it emits that crazy loud noise

Bose is still the gold standard in noise cancellation and comfort

Summary.. comfortable, great sound quality, fast charging, great noise cancellation.

It’s the sound and the noise canceling and comfort that counts and all of those areas get high marks

Effective noise cancellation and recommended for those who are seeking comfort.

Also, they are sensitive to shock and will make a loud noise sometimes on a rough train track transition, for example.

Also the noise suppressing feature is excelent.

These headphones have great noise canceling, but the 3 stars are for the sound quality

my Polks actually have better noise-cancelling as well

Although the sound quality, noise cancellation and comfort are excellent, it’s call handling is unsatisfactory.

Also, it sends that background noise through to the person on the other end of the line as well

Great sound, super battery life, comfortable, noise cancelling is very effective

The Sony MDR-1000 sounds incredible as hell and has got the best noise cancellation

For the money, and being one of the top noise-cancelling headphones available, these are wildly disappointing

There's also some cheap creaky plastic noise occasionally but wasn't a huge bother for me.<LOOKS/PORTABILITY

and I had 6 times better "noise cancellation" and no wind noise

Sony hands down has the best noise cancelling possible, but are extremely uncomfortable and will give you a headache from how close they placed the speakers to your ears so they

Very good noise

Horrible crackling noise in right ear.

I was told that this newer product has superior noise cancellation, and it does.

Amazing noise canceling headphones

It was like a very faint screeching noise

I put them on the other day and the right headphone is making terrible static whooshing noise

Great noise cancelling

My room can get noisy with the window open, fans on, and the added noise from downstairs

Fantastic noise cancellation

They basically took the perfect noise cancelling feature and then turned it off and made it completely useless

At the same time this fine noise also sounds as if its being masked ever so slightly in an effort to pretend it isn't there

Initially the n/c (noise canceling) was awesome but now after only 3 months, I noticed there's no difference between the Med and High n/c.

I can't get enough o that considering the fact that my last headphones were very buggy when connected to two active devices.

If you use the phones frequently, as I, this will be an issue.

I am very happy with my purchase, they were perfect for when I’d close at McDonald’s and and could just slap them on and listen to my music in peace
