How are they in terms of noise cancellation?

I think they work well, but when my music is on, I don't worry much about ambient noise.

You would be correct that there is no noise cancellation. Basically noise reduction allows you to listen loudly without disturbing others around you.

they are fairly noise cancelling, but only as much as the padding around the ears. they don't high-tech noise cancel. volume level moderately exceeds my needs for the product. bass not up to the level of Skullcandy's "Skullcrushers", but is still reliable. i rate bass as above average for headphones in this price range.

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

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.

These are good at cancelling ambient noise such as you may experience in a train, bus or plane. People talking loudly close-by? Not so sure. The audio quality is up to scratch, I would definitely recommend them for music.

The noise cancellation is pretty good, they do a good job of making things quite, they could block out the sound if they where playing music

These headphones do a pretty good job of canceling out everyday sounds (ie traffic, conversation). Overall, it depends on what you're listening to and what noises you need to eliminate.

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.

While they were comfortable, the noise cancelation did not actually block out noise. I heard my wife calling me from two rooms away. Also, if you listen to music to loudly, people can hear it clearly nearby.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

They are not noise canceling but they do have noise isolating. In other words they will block quite a bit but not everything. I like the way they feel. I have worn them for about 4 hours for my longest stretch. My ears got slightly warm at the 4th hour.

Yes the noise cancellation is really good. I travel a ton so I have used it on every size plane. It's not as good as the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it is pretty damn close.

I have had these for a couple months now and I love them. As far as canceling out noise, they do a pretty good job at it. I take public transit like the bus/BART and for the most part it blocks most, if not all, when the volume is about half way. I am certain they would perform well on a plane.

For me they wouldn't do to well on a long plane trip because they lack in noise cancellation... which is both good and bad I guess. All the background noise will kill some of the depth and quality these headphones can produce, but you'll be able to hear announcements or when someones trying to talk to you. I'm always amazed at the sound quality I get in the middle of the night when it's dead quiet.

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

They are decent at noise isolation. I can tell that people are talking in my office around me with them on when listening to very quiet music. I can hear my keyboard keystrokes. I think I get about 15, maybe 20 db of noise reduction with the medium tips. You'll probably be able to tell you are on a plane, but will still be able to enjoy music without blasting it. I did not care for the included foam tips. I bought these to replace a set of Etymotic ER4Ps, which block 25-35 dB of noise. They are amazing in that regard.
