How well do the noise cancellation work?

I see the confusion. The blurb says "noise-isolating," but also clearly says "unlike noise-cancelling..." These are not noise-cancelling headphones. Some of the reviewers mention it as if they are, but I think they are confusing "isolating" and "cancelling." It's a good idea to understand the difference.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones. They are also "on-ear" headphones so the noise isolation is not as good as "over the ear headphones."

The N-Tunes do a pretty good job of noise cancellation. They aren't "Noise Cancelling Headphones" But i believe they do the job pretty well. :)

It does a pretty good job at noise canceling without any music or sound. I'm not sure how it compares to others though... I would say yes.

Yes the noise cancellation does work even if you are not listening to anything. You do need to wear the heradphones and have the Bose device switched on.

Yes, audio is very clean + the noise cancellation is superb. Best noise cancellation of any headset I've owned & I've owned many. I've been on some sites where I can barely hear & my conversation comes through with no noise. I use Siri + other voice dictation software with no issues. Hope this helps.

Hi Tony. My first pair were pretty good. Most constant background noise was filtered out (traffic noise, engine noise in aircraft etc.). I could still hear people speaking although at a lower volume. When friends tried them, they were all quite impressed by the noise cancelling. My second pair weren't as good as the first pair. That said, if you open the ear pieces (they are held together with small screws) you will see a small potentiometer (one in each ear piece) with an adjusting slot. I fiddled with this and noticed it increased/decreased the noise cancelling. If you turn it too far to increase noise cancelling, movement of the headphones causes a clicking sound.

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

IMO they cancel noise decently. I use them at home, on my desktop pc, while the tv is on. My TV is about 5 feet away from my pc. I bought them more because they were for my son and halfway durable and has a decent range of size adjustments.

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.

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

Yes it's noise canceling. The bass is very good and the drivers are incredible. Very good head set.

Yes. The noise reduction is very good. You can drown out the outside without having to shatter your eardrums.

Someone sitting right next to you will be able to hear it a little bit if you have it cranked way up, but overall they contain sound well. The batteries last a long time. I got about 30 or more hours out of mine and use with noise canceling on most of time.

The noise cancelling is good. Not at much reduction as the Bose, or some of the other "over the ear" headphones, but for the smaller/lighter on the ear types of headphones, it is quite good.

I have found the sound quality to be very good with background noise, including wind. It does a good job canceling out everything but voice.

They don't completely cancel out all the noise. If you want a cheap option, it's good. But if you want better noise cancellation, I'd go with a higher end headphone. I have to turn noise cancelling on plus play music for it to drown out any sounds around me.

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.
