Unlike the rest of the headphones here they do have a secret weapon. Noise Cancellation. If you sit in the tail of the Airplane, there is a lot of noise. These headphones cut the roar down to a loud whisper with noise cancellation engaged. It makes all the difference.

Noise cancelling; easy to drive even from Phones; good sound

can sound slightly nasal; somewhat dark tonal balance

First off, I bought a pair elsewhere, and the price was more expensive, so zZounds is where it is at. Simply put, these headphones are wonderful. Trebles, Mids, and Lows are all clear. Bass has a decent thump, but it stays true to the mix, rather than Beats by Dre's choice of cranking bass up.

With the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones you can leave your worries behind, well, at least all the noises behind.  These noise cancelling headphones do just that - they block out and cancel all ambient noise leaving you in peace to listen to your music.

THese phones are fantastic. The do bleed a lot of sound to the outside world when listening, this was disappointing. The noise cancelling is pretty amazing to the listener. As fas as sound quality goes; these headphones sound great. VERY neutral.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfortable; Compact; Durable; Good Bass; Good Value; Great Sound; Lightweight

General Info As the fourth of four noise-canceling headphones I tested, I'll start right out by sayi

great passive and active NR; decent price; regular AAA battery

others in class just a bit cheaper; not great bass sound; hot ears

Overall these are a great set of headphones (especially for the price). My single concern is the headband which I have to extend out to it's maximum so that it goes over my head and covers my ears. I have a size large head, anything bigger and these just wouldn't work.

I bought these and I'm impressed. The headphones fit my ears and effectively isolate any background noise. I'm not an audiophile but when I turn off the noise-canceling option, the headphones produce muffled sound but it's still listenable.

Great earphones listening to an Ipod at home or flying. Noise cancelling is great. phones work without battery-very useful feature. As good as Bose for a lot less money.

Durable; Good Value; High Quality

These headphones saved my life at the noisy office. The noise-cancelling feature works very well, especially with music, I usually don't even hear people calling my name. Sound quality-wise they are more than enough for me, although I'm not a hi-fi expert.
