Review: What is Noise Cancellation
Noise cancellation usually implies active noise reduction (ANR), although sometimes the passive ways to reduce noise can also be called by this name. Passive noise reduction uses sound absorbing material to...

Review: Introduction

Noise cancellation headphones are the type of item that you don't buy unless someone's told you about them or if you've heard them in action. If you're going to use these at the gym or in an environment where you need...

Pros: Hear yourself think, hear your music and sleep on a plane.

Cons: Can become uncomfortable after 10 hours on a plane

The Bottom Line: Extremely impressive for the money and very comfortable for most people. I would definitely buy again, but would appreciate a nice full enclosed ear design for long term comfort.

Review: Summary:

I travel a lot domestically in the US, with most flights under 3 hours. So I did not think I really needed some noise cancelling headphones. But when I found out I would be travelling internationally for about a month continously,...

Pros: Lightweight, foldable, smaller that the Bose, work quite well...

Cons: Not the miracle gadget, big(ish) battery pack

The Bottom Line: For noise-cancelling 'phones, these are probably as good as you'll get in this price range, but don't expect miracles.

Review: I spent yonks reading all the reviews of the various option available for noise-cancelling headphones, and came to the conclusion that none of the reviews were conclusive. Here's a summary to save you the time - The Bose 'phones are great, the best,...

Pros: great sound great noise cancelling

Cons: none really other than price

The Bottom Line: These are a good buy because they are great sound and the noise cancellation is as good as it could get other than the bose

Review: The first question is - Are noise cancelling headphones worthwhile and the second must be - are these particular ones any good?
On the subject on noise cancelling I have the following to say - I get on the London Tube every day. The Tube must...

Pros: amazing noise-cancellation good sound

Cons: complex folding operation no batteries included

The Bottom Line: All in all a very good purchase and I would recommend them to any iPod commuter out there. Their drawbacks can be overlooked in view of their portability.

Review: I must say that I'm a big fan on sennheiser: those are actually my 4th pair. I've got some wireless a very cheap vintage pair and a pretty good 490.

I just bought those, and it's the first time I had such a good feeling right after buying...

Pros: Comfort, lightness, acceptable sound (with battery), moderate price

Cons: Poor sound without power, clunky battery and cabling, "ear pressure"

The Bottom Line: Personally, I'd spend some more money and get the Panasonic RP-HC300, of which I am a big fan.

Review: You may have checked out my profile, and may wonder why I seem to have a fixation on noise canceling (let s switch to reducing right away) headphones. Two words: business travel. Noise reduction makes air travel far more relaxing. A lot of the...

Pros: Nice style, good headphones in general.

Cons: "white noise" while on noise reduction. Too delicate.

The Bottom Line: pass.

Review: I just tried these headphones today for about 2 hours, and although I read the reviews on the newegg.com site where they were given a 5/5 as well as a friend of mine recommending them...

I'll like to say that I was very disapointed. The...

Pros: compact size is very portable, nice travel case, noticeable reduction of noise

Cons: battery pack location, noise reduction is not thorough

The Bottom Line: Cuts about 50% of white noise. Your needs will determine if this product's features are a good combination or a bad compromise.

Review: When turned on but not plugged into an audio source, the Sennheiser headphones reduce white noise, such as jet engines and road noise, by about half (best estimate). It is enough to provide some relief but it does not reduce sounds like talking or...
