Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 noise cancelling headphones
The noise cancelling modes of the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 are all very well implemented, as is the ability to switch between all three at will. The headphones' sound quality is also impressive when noise cancellation is enabled - less so when it isn't - and the price tag is lower than a pair of Bose...
Pros:
- Excellent noise cancelling
- Clear treble and solid bass
- Good construction
Cons:
- Bass and treble suffer when powered off
- Strong clamping force may cause fatigue
- Thin cable

Pros:
- Excellent noise cancelling
- Clear treble and solid bass
- Good construction
Cons:
- Bass and treble suffer when powered off
- Strong clamping force may cause fatigue
- Thin cable

Audio Technica ATH-ANC9 review: Audio Technica ATH-ANC9
The ANC9s sound great, and even better when noise cancelling is active. Memory foam creates a comfortable fit, but it's just a shame that you need to keep AAA batteries handy to get the most of out them.
