* Great noise

I hate the noises of NYC; I love the quiet of nature, or beautiful sounds and music.

Let me first say that out of the box, the new 1000XM2 headphones had a little better noise cancelling than the MDR-1RNCs but the sound quality was not even close to what I was hoping for

This are the best noise canceling headphones

PS be careful when taking care of the ear cups because for the best noise cancellation you want the best seel you can get

However, I ended up returning them after less than a week of usage because of an incredibly annoying creaking noise that occurred whenever I moved my head while wearing these

Amazing sound qualityFantastic noise cancelingWorks every time

Especially, since you are isolated from noise from surrounding environment thanks to superb noise cancelling function, this squeaky noise from right inside your left cup sounds emphasized.

David Carnoy, CNET's most authoritative voice for technology (and especially audio) raved about the 1000XM2s, stating, "Sony's top noise-cancelling headphone matches Bose for best."While the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is a slightly iterative improvement over its predecessor, Sony made massive gains over their popular 2016 model, the MDR-1000X.Sony exceeds Bose in three very important

Great noise cancelling headphones with a few wrinkles

But the Sony have the best noise cancellation

Staying” receives a full blockout of surrounding noise, while “Walking” allows enough noise to pass through to keep the listener aware of their surroundings.

The noise cancelling works very well and the battery life is excellent.

Considering that noise is usually not an issue and I value battery life over the NC, this is a genuine nuisance

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality

Clear quality, comfortable, and drown out the noise well - love the feature where you can hold your right hand up to hear what's going on around you

amazing sound and amazing noise canceling

I suspect this smaller opening contributes to the ever so slightly better noise cancellation on the XM2.

Plus I don’t like the white noise at low volume.

Sony does a much, much, much better job at cancelling noise in the background

For environments where noise isn't an issue, I still prefer listening via Airpods/Earpods

Good noise cancellation

In my opinion, it is the best noise canceling​ headphones hands down.

Noise cancelling not as good as Bose, although my Bose earbuds fell apart a year after warranty and they didn't want anything to do with that

But they were bigger than expected so the weight was more than thought.- Noise canceling: good, very good, great!

The volume setting was low on my Sonys and did a Great job filtering out the loud ambient noises of the store; the Bose... good grief, I did hours of reading and watching reviews of all these headsets assuming the Bose 35 ii would be head-to-head with the sonys on noise cancellation, but there was No comparison!!

After doing so, the left ear now has static noise or as if the speaker sounds blown

Last but by no means least the noise canceling dosnt work as it should

The noise cancelling works great, auto adjusts and it not only shut out the noise of a plane engine but at least 2 crying children, which we all know is much louder than an engine

After a good bit of reading reviews comparing the WH1000XM2 to the Bose QuietComfort 35, I chose the Sony for reports of slightly better noise cancellation (but I never got the sense that there was a huge difference).Trying them at home, simply putting on the headphones already blocked out the majority of the sounds I'd hear - road noise and neighbors.

I bought these from Amazon.com and have am thrilled with the sound quality, active noise cancellation, and comfort

Passive noise cancelling headphones drive me crazy!

Noise cancelling function works very well

I may be some kind of idiot for thinking that you could run in noise cancelling headphones, but the noise that was produced by running in the headphones was overwhelming and made for a very very long jog

It cancels noise pretty well and the earpieces and soft and comfortable.

Best noise cancelling headphones you can buy, today

It's a shame that Sony has such amazing audio and noise cancelling technology, but doesn't sell it in a sturdier design.

Quite good noise cancelling

The noise cancelling feature works like magic.

If you want absolute best noise cancelling and can live with the sound pressure, Bose wins

These headphones have above average sound, amazing noise canceling, and are super comfortable... except for the fact that they warm up my ears very quickly

This made noise was very annoying and took away from the listening experience.

Amazing sound, crazy noise cancelling and marvelous battery life of 30hrs and will work wired when it dies

I love the feature that temporarily dims your music and boosts ambient noise

Over 3 months using it, so far so good, It won’t cancel all the noise, but it will reduce enought amount of them to help me concentrate, only major one downside is switching paired bluetoothdevices is not so easy

I bought this product two weeks ago, as I was looking for a good noise cancelling pair of earphones, but without losing sound quality with music

Pros:Best noise cancelling and sound qualityBattery lasts really longLong range of bluetoothCons:Touch buttons are too sensitiveWhen you motion upwards for volume up, most of the time skips the track or reverses the trackThere is no option to put it in active listening mode (you have to hold two fingers up which works only for few

The noise cancelling calibration does really work

Noise reduction in flight is remarkable - even without music, cabin racket turns into a faint, white noise

But if you’re looking for serious noise cancellation and great fidelity, I can’t imagine you can do better at this price point.

The noise-cancelling feature works really

So far so good!Noise cancelling is excellent

Pros: excellent noise canceling, LDAC HD Bluetooth streaming, battery lifeNeutral: Material quality, comfort, size (a bit too bulky)Cons:

It's probably not better, but it still has a leg-up on the Bose due to the better passive noise cancelling

I have to agree with the other reviews here that these are the best noise canceling headphones of 2017

It's nice comfortable noise cancelling

The noise cancelling works great and blocks out lots of airplane engine noise and lets you enjoy your music, I really love the features where you can change tracks or turn up the volume with a single swipe of your finger and also the fact that you can listen to someone talk to you by simply covering the right side with your hand

Outstanding sound nice base but overpowering the crips sound amazing noise canceling features these are just amazing

Bose's QC line is all business: an audio workhorse with excellent noise cancelling.

Excellent noise reduction great product

I love these headphones, they do a great job filtering out noise and work well for air travel, phone meetings, or just listening to music.

"the best noise cancelling headphones on the market"But turn themselves off every 5 minutes"

things I like about these:1) much better noise cancellation than my two previous headphones (MDR1000X and Samsung

The noise of my table saw which I have suffered with for years is radically diminished

Excellent noise cancellation4

I've heard so far "unknown and perhaps disturbing" noises in some recordings that I missed before (using gears from Denon, Sennheiser, Etymotic Research or Jays)

It sure does block any unwanted noise

Noise cancelling tech needs work

So, these are now my go-to headphones for fun listening with unrivaled noise cancelling.

I personally think these sound great (just as good, if not better in some ways compared to Bose because of more bass emphasis) and I really prefer to have better noise cancelling.

The noise cancelling function makes the audio sound thin and weak, and the "ambient" function just adds some weird noise on top of that

noise cancelling effect2. comfortable or not for using long time3

Cannot use the impressive noise cancelling function without music playing

Such good noise cancellations that I can’t hear my teachers yelling at me in the halls anymore

The rustling rumbling noises got worse with time and Sony recommended I call support

Amazing noise canceling

Terrific frequency response and noise cancellation that is astounding.

No squeaking noises, no headband creaking, and no cracked hinges

I really like the comfort of these headphones, but if you use them to talk on the phone, the noise can be very loud for the person you’re talking to.

With 30+ hrs battery on bluetooth and 40+ hrs on wire, these super comfy headphones deliver the best sound quality, with market leading noise cancellation technology by Sony

They blew away my expectations, with a wonderful sound quality as well as effective noise cancelling

So pleased with how well the noise canceling works, and the wide frequency range of the drivers which seem to go pretty evenly from subsonic to above my ears response range.

Besides the good sound quality and impressive noise cancellation quality, he also was able to connect it to Google and ask Google questions.

When you add in the awesome and flexible noise cancelling options and the fact they that are wireless, I think they are a very versatile headphone and decent value.

The sirens of emergency vehicles would still get through, but the "passive" noise cancellation was so good that I never switched on the "active" noise cancellation.

The best noise cancelling headphones on the planet!!!

The noise cancelling works without music playing

Charging from a wall charger seems to damage them and cause this weird static noise

Once the engines are going and you're in air, passive noise cancellation alone is definitely not sufficient, and the engine noise passes through.

Great sounding, comfortable and amazing noise cancelling

Improved soundstage, better bass response, and adaptive noise cancellation (yes, it'll change noise-cancelling profiles as soon as you walk outside the train and into the city - more on that later)

Great noise cancellation, especially with no music (better than Sony's)+ Light weight and definitely more comfortable for long periods+ Best for phone calls (those on other end don't hear much

These are the absolute best wireless noise cancelling headphones I

Any movement of the head will result a squeaky noise in the ear

It's a godsend at work—in an open office where people can't keep their voices down and distracting noise just carries everywhere

I mean, these aren't in my budget, but they're the difference between my sanity and losing it, so they're worth it to me and to anyone who needs the sense of being "isolated" from distracting external noises

Perfect noise cancelling

Headphones)For once I don't feel like I am sacrificing sound quality for great Active noise cancellation

That's it's gonna be a little like electrical noise sound after I've listen for about 20 hours

Simply the best noise canceling headphones I have ever tried... like good enough to need to turn down the cancelling-ness-ness, it trips your friends out when you play a song and they realize they cannot hear anything you saying to them less than a foot away from their face

(good sound; sturdy; crazy-good value)- Various other Jaybird products (freedom, bluebuds, JB-200) (passable sound, fragile, poor range, etc., use the x lineup)- Sennheiser MM 400-X (passable sound, pathetic battery; worthless noise canceling; fragile; expensive; uncomfortable

The noise-cancelling aspect works well with certain kind of noises (e.g. wind noise, fan noise, AC noise etc) but not so well with human talking

Best noise cancelling headphones for the money...was hard to decide between these and the

This is the best noise cancelling wireless head set available right now !

- Good noise cancellation/isolation in a variety of environments (airport, airplane, urban, office, home) - Phone app EQ is a nice touch to fine tune for the music you typically listen to - Mic for phone call does a good job filtering out background noise and picking up my voice according to those on various conference callsCons: - Not as comfortable as Bose (can only wear Sonys for 2-3 hours before needing to take a break [I wear glasses]

Great sound and great noise cancelling

So in my opinion this is the best wireless noise canceling headphone you can get.

It becomes intolerable over time, and after trying several cheap noise cancelling headphones, I took a chance and coined up these Sony's.

Very good noise cancelling when listening to music or watching videos.2) Great features like mute, ANC sensitivity, app, and gesture controls.3

Best noise cancelling headset so far.

These sound great noise cancelling now better than bose

Had the Sennheiser and they served me well for years - started flying more and began to notice the need for better noise cancelling - the isolation and clarity are excellent

Unfortunately loud talks can make it through the headphones though auto adjust feature helps a bit.pros: sound quality is great, both, wired and bluetooth, superb noise cancelling, good build quality, many useful modes, great battery lifecons: have a lots of mic noise on wind, ears can sweat on long use, easy to scroll to next song while attempting to increase volume by gesture on right headphone ( >

I wore this headphone on a 10 hour flight and found it very comfortable and a great noise canceling device

wireless convenience is awesome; good noise cancelling; user interface struggles.)- Audio-Technica ATH-A900X (great sound; heavy; poor aesthetics; wired)- Jaybird x-3 (fair sound; good battery; super portable; fit can be tricky; proprietary charger is schwag)- Jaybird x-2 (fair+ sound; fair battery; super portable; fit can be tricky; unreliable; break frequently; great while they last)- Sony

Sound wise Sony is better than Bose, not too mention it has adaptive noise canceling

The noise canceling works so well that I thought something was wrong with the plane because it was so quiet

AMAZING!!I first bought the Bose QC 35II but returned them because I felt they lacked in technology as far as convenience and sound

for reference, I've had some etymotic er4s (passive, in-ear noise cancellation), bose quiet comfort 20, and i compared for some time in the Bose store my current sony wh1000xm3 with the bose quiet comfort 25 and bose quiet comfort 35 i and ii.

I recently bought these Sony’s and wow what a product.
