Does the noise canceling work as anounced?

Yes, it does a good job. I wear it whenever I'm mowing the lawn or traveling by jet aircraft. I am quite satisfied with the noise canceling performance.

I can only compare them to a pair of Jensen's I retired and they are much better than the Jensen's. While watching television, I put them on playing an IPod and I couldn't hear the television. I haven't tried the Bose however.

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

I have used these on many flights now, and although they do not fully cancel out the noise of the aircraft, they do eliminate a lot of it. when watching a movie or listening to music, I don't even notice the engine noise.

No not noise cancelling...They are somewhat basic headphones but just clear sound.

It was a gift for someone else, i haven't used it. However they did tell me it does cancel out noise. And it can plug into any headphone jack.

The headphones work without noise canceling, the noise canceling is only an option which uses the battery when it is turned on. When the battery dies (after about 72 hours of use) the headphones will still work and play music.

So far it seems to cancel background noise< I haven't been out in the wind with it so I can't say it doew

No it does not but I have used it extensively on crowded places and it has never disappointed me. With the right ear-tips, you won't need noise cancellation here. This is as good as it gets.

No. These aren't "noise canceling" headphones. They are just communication/hearing headphones. I would find a noise canceling headphones if that is the purpose of your future purchase. Hope this helps!

Not that I'm aware of. The noise cancelling is more for the microphone than the speakers.

Not sure what you mean. The noise cancellation is an on off switch and that's the only way it works. I haven't used this for calls, only listening. I imagine the noise canceling works with calls too.

I don't believe their is "active" noise cancelling. However those plugs are pretty snug in the ear and the sound is pretty loud enough to counteract any outside interference. I've never found noise cancelling effective on a plane anyway because I can still feel the hum of the engines anyway.

They do cancel out external noise but in a passive way, this means that the earbuds and sound together provide isolation from exterior noise, they are however, not active, this means that there is no microprocessor that "listens" to exterior noise and then creates white noise to cancel it out. Regarding the microphone i cant be sure because i have not opened it up so im not sure if it contains an active noise cancelation system, but i can tell the call quality is great.

Thanks for your question. These amazing sounding phones are nor active noise-cancelling. Thanks again.

Yah you might have a faulty pair. Mines work just fine with the noise cancelling activated.

These have the switch to turn on the noise canceling. To be honest I don't think that function works too well as I just hear a little more bass with the noise cancellation on and still here the same background noises. Aside from that the headphones are great they come with 6 different head bands so you can customize the look you want.

The pair of head phones do not have noise canceling. I could hear the television from wearing it, but if you are listening to anything, the surround sound can help in a way.

Not sure if it does. It's an ok pair of headphones as i use it while walking to the office as it does the job. They are so so if you use them in the tube or metro. Don't expect any noise canceling though.

I got a pair of these around Christmas time... as far as I know they're the same as the ones that are more expensive. Mine does have the switch for noise cancelling.
