    • I've used the Bose QC35's and while they do have better noise cancellation

    • The noise cancelling works well to filter out sounds of fans/AC
    • Only downside for me is the lack of useful active noise cancelling while on phone calls

    • I would recommend this for anyone on a budget or someone who doesn't feel like paying alot for a good noise canceling headphone
    • The noise cancelling worked surprisingly well - it doesn't block out all noise, but it does muffle it so the roar of the engines or the screams of the babies are pushed back enough to be ignorable, especially with music or a movie on

    • noise cancelling works well in NYC subway .. not as great as Bose noise
    • I decided to upgrade to this one and while they still rock great noise cancelling, an amazing battery life, great ease of use, and good sound quality, I feel the bass could have been increased just a bit to create a better overall sound
    • Battery life is excellent and the noise cancelling feature works very well.
    • Noise cancelling works well, and battery life is awesome.
    • You still get a little bleed through from loud noise, but that goes for all noise cancelling technology
    • The active noise cancel works well
    • This happens to be both the best non surround headset I've ever owned along with the best noise cancelling one too
    • Just know that these do not have the nearly magical noise reduction of the more expensive alternatives.
    • bought these mostly for use at the gym to block out their awful piped music and general noise which is high when it gets busy
    • You get a lot better carry case, true noise canceling that works great and a much nicer color (medium gray)
    • Well built, good noise cancelling and amazing sound quality.
    • Why on earth would I want a device with ANC that actually adds audible noise to my listening experience?!?!
    • Excellent noise cancelation for my loud dorm, supreme battery life, great sound

    • computer.-And, to top it all off, the silly things start producing noise in the left ear as soon as you turn on the Active Noise Cancellation!!!
    • And I swear it waits until you put it on to make all this unwanted noise--you can't turn it on, give it a few seconds and then put it on to avoid it
    • It projects constant static noise when in Noise Canceling (NC) mode; completely contradicts the NC purpose.
    • I also have the original BackBeat PRO which have far better noise cancelling - so if that is important to you, I would go with the older model.
    • There are better noise cancelling headphones on the market, but if you are using these primarily in a home environment as I do, these do a great job of quieting external sounds while listening.
    • flat- Decent active noise cancelling (not on the same level as Bose or Sony, but better than the cheaper ANC headphones I've tried and more than enough for my usage)Now for the bad:- Comfort
