Main problem was a low but audible background hiss when the noise reduction circuit was activated. Noise reduction also was not as effective as expected. Perhaps a defective unit?

Easy To Set Up; Easy to Use

Inefficient

these headphones are awesome. they cancel out sound so well and my music sounds amazing. it comes with a lot of extra stuff like a carrying case, headphone splitter and a thing that allows you to convert your jack to fit into the big headphone jacks.

I've had two of these. The first started making really weird noises when the noise cancelling was on. They were covered by the Radio Shack warranty so I brought them back for new ones. Now, just a couple months later, the right ear phone completely stopped working.

Lightweight

Flimsy Construction; Poor Value; Unattractive Design; Uncomfortable

Initially I liked the headphones and they seemed adequate. Upon regular use there appears to be a static hiss generated when the noise cancelling feature is activated. Sometimes it goes away and sometimes it does not. Regrettably this defeats the beauty of a "noise cancelling" headphone.

In a product category with items running hundreds of dollars these QuietPoint Headphones are a phenomenal value. Comfortable to wear they offer a surprisingly crisp and natural sound while knocking out loud ambient background noise.

The ATH -ANC7s are a pair of active noise cancelling over-ears from Audio-Technica. The ATH -ANC7s have the ability to turn their active noise cancellation feature on and off, which immediately puts them leagues beyond many other active-cancellers.

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.

As we sit in one of our testing rooms, headphones on head, clapping our hands and tapping various objects, we start to wonder where it all went wrong. But fear not, What Hi-fi? Sound and Vision' s review team hasn't lost its marbles.

Comfortable; solid build; noise-cancelling; sounds OK in isolation

A little brash; muddled midrange; lacks detail required for the money

As others have said, they are great for noise cancelling headphones in this price range. Their audio quality is quite good for your average user. There is a slight hollow/lack of bass when the noise cancelling is on, just something to be aware of.

Relatively cheap noise cancelling option; Fit relatively well; Noise cancelling works, quite well; Cable comes apart from the headphones, so if you snag it, the cable just pops out, instead of ripping from an integrated end

None

OMG how did i ever travel without noise cancelling headphones! a word of warning, be careful when plugged into the airplane's entertainment system, when the crew make announcements it's incredibly loud to get over the engine noise and therefore deafening thru these headphones.
