good product; did not feel strong hiss as multiple review site claims

No

Of the models I tested, Bose's QuietComfort 15 reigns supreme in noise-canceling performance and sound quality. I rank the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 second overall, though I really like the multiple cancelation modes and the ANC9's ability to function without battery power-features that might make it...

We very much enjoyed the fit and performance of the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 noise cancelling headphones. The tri-level noise cancellation made these adaptable to nearly any environment or situation in which we would want to use these in.

After intense researching on many sites and knowing the fact that Bose are the best; I chose to buy this one. While I came to know that Bose QC3 has laughable Noise cancelling; I wasnt very impressed with Bose QC15 reviews either when it came to compete with this Audio Technica Headphone.

Audio-Technica is a headphone maker that doesn't get as much publicity as Bose or Sony or Sennheiser. The Japanese company produces some extremely high quality products though, like its range of W series headphones finished in beautiful Japanese cherry and ebony woods.

Excellent noise cancelling; Clear treble and solid bass; Good construction

Bass and treble suffer when powered off; Strong clamping force may cause fatigue; Thin cable

Comfortable fit, come with nice carrying case. I am extremely sound sensitive and wear these at work to help block out distracting noises. I like that they are able to cancel some background noise while still able to hear some speech.

noise reduction

In the unlikely event I ever again decide to pick a fight, it'll be with someone who looks weaker than me. Obviously, Audio-Technica has a lot more guts than I do.

Unzipping the hard case to check out Audio Technica's new ATH-ANC9 QuietPoint headphones, you expect no less bang for buck performance and value from the Japanese audio company's latest version of its excellent noise cancelling cans.

I bought it right before a 5-hour flight. I wore it all along and they fit comfortably. I did feel the urge to lift them from time to time to refresh my ears, but I guess that is normal when you enclose them with something for that long.
