More background noise cancellation than I expected

They didn't shut out all background noise, but muted it enough so that I didn't have to increase the volume

They're very comfortable and block out background noise (which is a big plus when living in the city.

(Based on my experience with them, if you just put them on without playing anything they seem to actually increase the volume of background noise.)

I found that there was an immediate loss of background noise leaving only the music in the foreground

They do a great job at blocking out background noise

Even with some of the most difficult dictation, where the person is mumbling and there is a lot of background noise, these headphones make it pretty easy to understand what they are saying

Needless to say, background noise is always an issue for me when I am working.

Everything is clearer: instruments, voices, background noise

I can't hear the background noise and the sound is crisp.

I wouldn't recommend them for listening to music under ideal conditions - you should step up to the V6s or better for this - but they are great as a substitute under background noise conditions or for situations where you might lose/break them.

I can't hear the background noise and the sound is crisp.

Also the design provides inherent insulation from background noises

They do a good job drowning out any background noise.

they do not have active noise cancleling they do block out background noise and speech from other people, i can not hear my wife snore.

We exclusively use this headphone in our digital production room as well as in the broadcast studio.

I little thumpy on bass, highs lacking- Retains heat on a hot dayConclusion:I find these work very well at work for listening to training material, as well as my musical selections.

The only thing that annoys me (as with the 201s) is the very long cord

They have been worn for extended periods of time listening to music as well as

The ear cups are also kind of small so these barely qualify as "over the ear" headphones
