Are these had a "noise cancelling" switch that you can turn on and off?

Hi Julie, no unfortunately no they don't have any type of noise cancelling switch that I can turn on and off but I guarantee you, you can't hear any outside noise.

I have never observed a switch on mine but i assure you, you hear nothing but whatever you are playing.

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

There is no electronic noise cancelling capability, no. They do fit the ear canal well, however, so they cancel noise the same way a pair of earplugs would.

No they don't isolate noise even when the noise canceling switch is on. I returned them for something else.

I don't think they are considered noise cancelling but they do a good job of keeping out the noise. For the price point they do a pretty good job not perfect but better than average.

The ones I have are in my opinion not noise-cancelling. They are just simple high quality headphones.

No, not marketed as "noise cancelling", but they do a pretty good job of masking noise and, they do sound great.

They do not. However, the way they plug into your ear combined with the base renders noise cancelling unnecessary. I live in San Francisco, a city were noise pollution is constant and never ending. When I take walks, abrasive traffic unruly children, dogs, skate boarders, construction- goes almost unnoticed.

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

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

They fit snugly against my head and can get pretty loud, but they don't have a noise canceling feature per se (a lot of noise canceling headphones have a separate switch you press that makes "white noise" behind the music). I wear them mostly at the office and can hear my coworkers if they're being loud.

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

Well they don't have "active" noise cancelling they do however cancel out a lot of outside noise because of the over the ear design of the earphones... Best $40 I ever spent on Amazon

They aren't noise-canceling headphones, as in they don't have "Active Noise Control" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control) but when I put them on, things definitely get much more muted.

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

I would say about 90 percent of the outside noise is cancelled by the headphones but there is no difference when you turn on the noise canceling feature.

Yes. You have to turn on the headset (slide a little switch) to activate the noise cancellation. Otherwise it can just be a passive headset.
