Best Noise Cancelation: Have any of you experienced or have any headphones you would recommend for this?

My situation is very similar to yours. I don't have to deal with trains, but I'm very near a bus stop and the exit gate. I'm very happy with my ATH-ANC7. They can't cut out everything, but I listen to music a lot and this masks other people's music better than almost anything. I find them comfortable and well built and they sound good. The strap is plastic, but it has a steel strap reinforcing it. I don't think it will break. I think the Noise-Cancelling works very well. Well worth the price. Hope this helps.

Nope, it is not noise cancelling. For noise cancelling, you can look at bose. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/quietcomfort_15/index.jsp

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

The noise cancellation is the best of any headphone I've had. If someone talks to me, I can't hear what they're saying unless I take them off, even when there's no music playing. I often just wear them in my dorm so I can study.

Hi Victor,While I haven't had as good a luck with the noise cancellation, I haven't been in any environments as noisy as yours. I do know others have had good experience and with my previous generations of this headset, it has been the best of anything offered and the current gen is the same. I have used other makes and their noise cancellation isn't as good.

If you use the triple flange tips it does a good job of cutting out outside noise, but they don't have the official noise cancelling capability which i believe requires some sort of computerized ability that processes out outside noise. I personally don't like the feel of silicon ear tips from any headphone manufacturer so I use foam tips (not included with these) which don't completely cut out outside noise but do ok.

I don't know, I tried them at home while trying to study for a major exam, and they weren't that good at noise cancellation at all. I'm getting ready for an international flight n I'm looking to get some Bose instead for my flight. Good luck!

They do not do much noise canceling. I would prefer an AKG headphone. They are very faithful to the music. They need a good amp or good headphone section, though.

Noise cancelling does work --- not as good as high end headphones, but does very acceptably.

I tested many different name brands even Bose with noise cancellation technology. While the Noise cancelling is the best of any on the market, the overall value of the Shure was the BEST by far. I own two of them and would not bother to own any other.

They do not seem to be noise canceling. However, they do a decent job at it for non-noise canceling headphones.

I would get noise cancelling headphones for that. These do block out noise but I don't know that it's enough.

Morgan, depends on your lifestyle of usage... If you always on the move on noisy places like subways, metros, noise canceling will block all the noise for clear crisp music. If you're always indoor and might not like cables to dangle around, then the bluetooth will be a better choice. Overall headphones with cable will offer better quality as bluetooth will have some losses on the amplitude of music... Your choice!

They are not "noise cancelling." They are simply in-ear headphones that fit pretty sungly and therefore muffle outside sound. A similar pair that I got after these that I liked much, much better and I'm still using almost a year later is this one: Philips SHE3590BL/10 In-Ear Headphones

If you want noise isolation, look into sennheiser 280. They were too boomy for my tastes, and squeezed your brains out of your head.

I have never had a problem distinguishing voices with the noise cancelation on. The filter blocks ambient sound and greatly reduces the human voice, but you can still tell someone is talking no problem, though you might not be able to hear what is being said. Of course, if you blast your music through these, you probably won't hear a thing, but doesn't that apply to all headphones?
