(that's why I rated noise cancellation only 4 stars, but I wouldn't want headphones that cancel out all background noise)

My son was diagnosed as being hearing impaired therefore background noise was an increasing problem.

If I need to focus and theres some background noise, I pick these

This is a minor issue b/c the included 3.mm cable isn't too long to be tucked away and is thin and light to begin with.

These r awesome !
