How big of a difference is there between the ANC7 and the ANC9 in sound quality? in noise cancellation?

sorry i'm not at a position to answer that because i only have the anc9's; and i haven't tried even at the store the anc7's. although i heard that they will be releasing an ath anc70's soon which is cheaper than the anc9s but almost the same features of the anc9's if price is an issue for you

I have both sets; used the ANC7 for about 4 years, now have been using ANC9 for about 1 year. The biggest difference in sound is that ANC9 have a much stronger bass. The noise cancellation is comparable, with ANC9 being marginally better.

I own a Bose noise canceling headset similar to the set in question (ATH-ANC27). Bose is by far the best. For the money and size the ATH-ANC23 (in the ear) that I bought has surprising abilities. I was very impressed.

I have not used the BOSEU and cannot compare. But the ANC27 is good for using while watching an inflight movie as it suppresses the outside noise, which is the mane reason tha I bought it and ha been great in this respect.

I have both and I used the new 20i last week in the plane. In my opinion QC 15 is better in noise cancelling but I like the 20i to carry around. I used 20i in the bus and in the car with IPHONE listing music and I like it. Quality QC 15 is better in the plane but to carry around I like 20i

The sound with Noise Canceling ('NC') on is bright and extremely bassy, even when compared to other bassy headphones. But turn the NC off and the sound becomes very dull and much less bassy. If the sound with NC off had a little more treble - even half of the treble of a good hi-fi headphone, it would be a good thing, but it's very recessed.

I had a headphones like this one, they are just the headsets, i ever had. Now they are broken. They don't have nc, & they don't need it, because they have a very good noise cancelation, just by put him. Even better than phones that really have nc. They isolate almost perfectly the exterior sounds, if they are new, or not starting being old.I have now, the new model, sony mdr-1bt for 300 $, and the isolation is not sow good.I hope that i answered your question.

The N-Tunes do a pretty good job of noise cancellation. They aren't "Noise Cancelling Headphones" But i believe they do the job pretty well. :)

They are very similar in many ways. I got the PC 360 before these but sent them back because the velvet-ey feel on the earcups weren't comfortable for me at all. They both sound very similar though. Unfortunately neither of these have active noise cancellation but but having the PC 350E's on your head are far better than the PC 360 because of its closed-back design. I can without a doubt say that both of those headphones are great and the purchase just comes down to your personal preference. Good luck!

pretty good. they're not active noise cancelling headphones so if that's what you're looking for, these are not for you. but as passive noise cancellation, they're decent. they'll block a lot of environmental noise and wont leak much out. the best isolating closed headphone i've used that wasnt an active noise cancellation pair was the beyerdynamic dt770 pro. those blocked out the most noise and leaked the least. i much prefer the sound quality of the a900x though. sold mine off a year ago really regretting it.

I don't know about noise cancellation, but my friend has the exact same headset and the sound quality coming from him sounds as good or better then everyone else.

I tried both in store and there wasn't much difference between them with noise cancelling next to an enormous fan. The QC15 have better quality sound reproduction due to the larger drivers, but honestly I have no problem with my QC20s. They sound great, the noise cancelling is amazing and I've slept for 10 hours straight on a flight from LAX to SYD sitting over the wing next to the engines.

Well, I would say if you want complete noise cancellation go with BOSE, but these do a pretty good job if you already have something playing, it's really hard to hear anything outside of your headset.

I haven't used and Plane quiet noise canceling, so I couldn't say if there's a difference. I like my iHome ones fine.

Well, I have the newer model of BOSE noise cancelling which I was using. Let me break it down: On long duration comfort-both the same. On Battery life - Phiaton. On the noise cancelling efficiency - Phaiton. On construction - Phiaton. On the reproduction of High, Mid and Low - Phiaton by far. Additional Feature - Bluetooth. I no longer use BOSE or other High Quality Noise cancelling headphone since my purchase of this headphone. BTW, I am an Audiophile.

I own both and the A7 sounds much better and much more volume audiophile quality.

I actually think the M4s are much better from a sound quality perspective. They have great reproduction. I have owned Bose and senheiser noise canceling phones and I would pick the M4s over them.

Though you have likely made your decision, I upgraded from a 3602 (a model that's superior to the 3080 on paper) and could tell the difference with the 3908. It was night and day. I would even wager that this system is superior to a more expensive setup, like a Bose Companion 3 (from what I've heard in person) for instance. Though some would tell you Bose is overpriced/average quality, it's one of the few premium sets I have listened to.
