Are they noise canceling?

Hello Virginia Ober, this Sony Walkman MDRZX100/RED is not a noise cancelling but noise-reducing headphones due to its 30mm drivers and extra comfortable earpads with supra-aural design. -Ely

No. Noise-canceling headphones cost substantially more than these. However, I find that the construction of the headphones does a great deal to minimize external sounds.

Hello, The packaging does not state that they are noise cancellation. Thanks, Alicia

I would think not. As others have said they are not noise cancellation. If you can deal with that one problem then you are set because they are overall fantastic headphones for the price range.

They are not active noise-canceling but regardless, I can't hear a thing of the outside world when I have them on.

They are not noise canceling. However, safety is in the hands of the user when it comes to audio devices. Depending on the multiple variables of the user along with the desired volume any headphone or ear bud could easily block elemental noise.

The simple answer is: no. Noise cancelling headphones contain special circuitry, which is not present here.

No noise canceling. Just simple, clear sound. The foam ear pads do provide some sound screening.

No. Not noise canceling, but they are a great value for entry level aviation headset.

No, it is not noise canceling. You will hear everything going on in the room while wearing the headphones. No mic

No. These are noise dampening only, check out the PXC 460 model for true noise cancellation.

They are not noise canceling, but the isolation is fantastic. I have not had any problems with external noise while wearing these. The only disadvantage is they are a little large for carrying around.

You can hear fine. They are NOT noise canceling - you can definitely hear airplane noise. When off the plane they sound much better than the noise canceling ones. Hope that helps.

Not really noise cancelling. They are good and my son loves the pair I bought him....and they do cancel out a fair amount of noise but I am not sure they would be sold on that aspect.

Yes, but must be powered on for them to work. There is no "pass -thru" use without noise cancelling. They work fairly well.

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.

No. The head phones only have a switch to turn on/off the noise cancelling.

Yup. The noise cancelling is turned on with a switch. It's separate from the bluetooth
