Fit very deep into ear so not very comfortable, blocks out most background noise so not good for urban living (this is a personal preference as I live in a big city where I need to hear cars honking, subway announcements, etc.), not good for talking on the phone because you can hardly hear yourself speak, wire is very sensitive so when you touch or tap the wire while using, you hear the vibration through the ear pieces.

The noise cancelling headphones did not sound as good as these at first listen with the noise cancelling OFF, but turning it ON made them sound equally as good with no background noise - but I couldn't justify spending twice as much on them

Compared to my last Bose in ear head phones these reduce allot more background noise

While outside jogging or in the car, the people on the other end of the call could still hear me, but they also heard quite a bit of background noise.

These did a good job of blocking out background noise, I was completely deaf to my surroundings.

As for the soundtrue ultra's I can hear every note with only a little background noise on the bus

Noise Isolation - These headphones block a lot of background noise which is ideal if you're not moving (

I liked the sound of this better than the Bose SoundSport headphones; it eliminates most background noise due to the tight seal and overall sounds more clear

I needed something that would help block out the background noise while listening to my lectures, Facetiming, and casually listening to music

While they do not cancel out background noise at quite the level of the over the ear (they are not designed to), she relates the sound quality is "great", very close to the over-the-ear pair

They block out most background noise making them great for loud place a or when I want to focus.

Superb Use them while doing work, they are super noise cancelling almost as good as the over ear headphones

And yes the cord sucks as it is very noisy

These work!- Sound is amazing.- Blocks out sound so that people can't hear what you hear so play it as loud as

I don't blame the store employee as it didn't appear he had any control over making it

The wing-tip design is still good and comfortable, about the only positive I can think of
