    • My father works in the engineering lab, the headphone cancels the noise there well
    • 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
    • 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.
    • However, next to useless for making calls in a noisy environment, since the outside noise is audible to the person on the other end of the line and WILL generate a quizzical, "where are you
    • Great noise cancellation, good volume and decent sound.
    • 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
    • Love the noise
    • 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 canceling and sound quality
    • Fine active noise canceling, a lot like my $60 mpow set’s ANC to be honest
    • 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
    • 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.
    • Amazon’s average review is 4.5 stars and YouTube reviewers lauded these as the top noise cancelling headphones
    • 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.
    • I've used some cheaper Bluetooth (non-noise cancelling) headphones in the past and you can definitely tell the difference in quality with these.
    • In comparison the bose headphones are slightly more comfortable, have noticbly superior active noise cancelation, but unfortunately in my opinion have inferior sound quality
    • Even if you're not listening to music, having them on at home or the office keeps the random noises and chatter out
    • 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.
    • These noise 'cancelling' headphones only cancel out some noises, like general ambient noise
    • Sony has far better noise canceling, you should have seen my face when I pressed the calibration button in BestBuy (and as loud and busy at it was, and i didn't even have music playing

    • 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
    • Yet the better noise cancelling would be an acceptable tradeoff for me for long airline flights
    • Great Noise Cancellation
    • Bose Quietcomfort 35 – Best noise cancellation
    • If you want good noise cancelling while on bluetooth you're out of luck
    • The headphones fit the ears nice and snug, and the noise cancelling works wonders--a lot better than those $79.99 on-ear models
    • I didn't pay $350 to have more unwanted noise in my ears and one more damn machine bossing me around all the time
    • 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
    • If you’re looking for the BEST noise canceling headphones with all the comfort you’d expect from $350, then this is where you stop and buy
