{model MDR-NC7} to compare these with: very much less satisfactory noise reduction

These are great noise cancelling headphones

I love these headphones I use them during every single flight I go on and they cancel out the jet noise pretty well

Having set aside such an unrealistic standard, these headphones sound so great, are so comfortable, and have the additional bonuses of providing very good noise isolation (a major benefit of closed back headphones) while avoiding one of the major potential drawbacks (resonances/echoes from a closed

After reading a few reviews of inexpensive noise-canceling headphones, I decided to purchase these

They also work pretty well noise canceling as well

Cheapest active noise canceling headphones that work great

Really good noise isolating, on-ear (not over-ear) headphones with good bass

Thay had a deep bass and great noise isolation

I use this primarily at the gym, as I prefer over-the-ear phones to earbuds, and they effectively tune out extraneous noise while sounding good

Since the foam surrounds the ears well enough, they also deaden outside noise pretty well

No dangling wires and blocks out other noise pretty well

Comfortable, good battery life, decent audio quality, and good noise cancelling

Ear pads just fully surround my ear, they are quite noise canceling, but also very hot after a short time

You won't get dead silence from these, but they do help muffle unwanted noise

I am happy given that these are a reasonable price provide solid passive noise reduction, and I believe they likely offer a competitve level of active reduction

These noise cancelling headphones work well.

They're really comfortable and block outside noises really well

I love these headphones, they have passive noise cancelling and work great on my ps4 for playing video games, unfortunately they might work too well as I tend to miss phone calls because it blocks out so much noise when I have them on while playing lol.

Pro:-Sound is very nice and blocks out enough outside noise that you don't notice-3.5mm Jack port on the headset

I suspect spurious noise in the upper teens of the audible range (what the human ear translates as “spaciousness”).

Really great value noise cancelling headphones

No one can hear your music if it's at full volume, so its really great for that, and outside noises are great at fading away too

The noise cancelling capabilities aren't too bad either

ear muffs isolate quite well external noise

Decent noise cancelling for the price.

They even work well in my office when I am disturbed by extraneous noise.

ear muffs isolate quite well external noise

The cups fit all the way around my ears and block out external noises well

The ATs were about half the price, but are much better at removing sounds, including voices, TV, sharp noises.

Either way, they cancel lows out much better than mid or high range background noise, which means they work especially well in the car and on airplanes

These headphones as well as most other noise cancelling headphones do best at constant noise

The sound was slightly richer and the noise cancelling a bit better.

Before getting these I'd probably have never recommended headphones with a chord, but I have to say it wasn't until I got one of these that I really knew how much even inaudible noise had been bothering me which these headphones did a great job at blocking out.

Will quiet down the background noise a little, but don't expect anything earth-shattering (like on an airplane).

While I like the Ausdom’s volume control better, it lacked gain, had the least passive noise cancelling and the most noise artifacts in the active cancelling.

headphones block out a lot of unwanted backround noise

I love these headphones, they have passive noise cancelling and work great on my ps4 for playing video games, unfortunately they might work too well as I tend to miss phone calls because it blocks out so much noise when I have them on while playing lol.

If you want something you can wear for extended periods with good noise isolation (for the office or commute

Excellent noise cancelling and beautiful sound.

The noise canceling feature worked well.

Great noise canceling and above average sound quality

I am happy given that these are a reasonable price provide solid passive noise reduction, and I believe they likely offer a competitve level of active reduction

well built.- good external noise isolation (not cancellation)

These did not do as well as other headphones I have for knocking out noise.

They do relatively well at blocking miscellaneous noise, but you will still hear other people'voices, albeit significantly reduced in volume.

not the best noise-cancelling

Rich, full sound with good range and excellent isolation without any fancy noise-cancelling circuitry to deal with or pay for

Good comfortable noise-cancelling function.

They cancel out noise really well and blocks out noise as well on medium volume

This makes them good at being sound isolating aka passive noise cancelling

Even with ANC off, the headphones provide a very good noise isolation

If you want a great sounding headphones with a fun v shaped sound signature, which provide excellent comfort and very good noise isolation, you will be extremely pleased with these headphones

If you're looking to listen to music or loud game noise, they'll work very well

They also don't have great sound quality or noise canceling effectiveness, especially for a $100 pair of headphones

Super long battery life (one AAA), solid noise cancelling, came with a 1/4 to 1/8 converter which was nice

The amazing noise cancelation in these headphones serves the dual purpose of keeping others from hearing the loud grunting and keeping out the noise of the party you should probably be getting laid at.

Its incredible how much background noise there is even there

Blocks out noise great

I am giving this a one star due to a huge flaw, over time the little button that turn on the active noise cancellation fails and not that it only doesn't work the noise

They fold, swivel, block noise very well, have a detachable cable and a decent frequency response

Fantastic sound quality; as good as my Bose noise cancelling headphone

Good at first, but I find that now, if I bump them at all by accident while the noise canceling is on, it makes this AWFUL noise

These were on several lists for budget friendly noise cancelling headphones

Noise canceling: I put on the headphones and make an assessment of the noise I hear, which is already greatly reduced by passive noise isolation from the ear cups

I bought them for a flight and they had amazing noise canceling capabilities!

They use a balljoint style swivel that are simply plastic on plastic making it so that any movement introduces a loud creaking noise

I personally have access to some Bose QC35's and about five different pair of IEM's with INSANELY good noise cancelling tips/

When I take them off, the noise is very loud, but when I put the cups together the noise is entirely blocked

I'd wear these out in public as they block out enough noise

My search is over!Pros: Comfort Noise-Cancelling Wired and Bluetooth!

Passive Noise cancelling (I feel all are falling

I bought these because I was hoping they would sound better and provide better noise isolation than my old pair of Skulcandy earbuds.

When I take my headset off and just adjust the earpieces, they just make so much awful squeaking noise

Very comfortable, pretty good noise canceling.

Very comfortable, pretty good noise canceling.

Fairly good noise canceling properties.

Decent noise cancelling, but comfort and performance are not on par with Bose; however, I'd still buy these every time.

The passive noise cancelling needs to be better.

Rotating Ear Cups: I’m not a fan of complete noise cancellation or isolation

If you are distracted by music while you work, and are just looking for something to create a noise free silent space while you are thinking or reading, these might not be the best

Great noise canceling, and the highest quality sound

Theyr'e also more comfortable and work better than the in-ear noise isolating earbuds I used to use with Comply foam tips

Theyr'e also more comfortable and work better than the in-ear noise isolating earbuds I used to use with Comply foam tips

Cancel out background noise well

Now the noise cancelling button doesn't work anymore (turning it on just cuts the audio completely) :(

Comfortable, with good sound and low noise leakage

It doesn't cancel out everything (which isn't realistic to expect with any headphone) but cancels out enough background noise

It doesn't cancel out all the noise, as some of the expensive models do, but it works well enough to hear the music clearly at a given volume.

so I have a feeling that there are better noise canceling headphones out there

I suppose if I wanted a pair of cheap noise-canceling headphones strictly for listening to podcasts while in the office or on an airplane, these would not be bad for the price

The noise cancelling works well, like you just got out of the pool and both ears are plugged, and with music you can tune out everything.

had a constant dull noise when connected to my pc, but overall it has good audio and feels good

These headphones cut out the low noises and protect my ears from the loud ones

As over the ear headphones, these block ambient noise very well

Under $30, easily replaceable cord, good sound with some tweaking, good noise isolation, fold down to a decent size

Okay, if you want the best noise cancelling earphones, go Bose; it's as simple as that

Some folks don't find them as comfortable as I, but I'm sure the same can be said for any style or type of phone.
