" ... I suspect there are some out there that cancel ambient noise more effectively, but for the price and quality of these headphones, I am quite satisfied and recommend the product to anyone looking for comfort and effectiveness. ... "

" ... The noise cancelling feature takes a few minutes to really take effect, or at least that's how long it took me to notice all the ambient noises I wasn't able to pick out anymore! ... "
" ... They seem to be good value, but the noise "canceling" is minimal. ... "
" ... The noise canceling will not drown out everything like some Bose or an equal will, but they do the job. ... "
" ... I don't have Bose noise canceling headphones, so I'm not able to compare. ... The noise canceling feature really works and the sound is good. ... "
" ... But the noise canceling is still quite good, and they are comfortable. ... "

" ... Buy it new, not refurbished (seems like other bad reviews of product falling apart relate to refurbished offer . ) ... "
" ... The headband is made of a cheap plastic and broke after a couple of months. ... I still used it but recently, the head broke on the other side. ... The material inside the speaker started tearing too, so I might just spend a little more on better quality. ... "
