Are these noice cancelling at all? I need noice cancelling headphones, and these are 100$ cheaper than the Bose ones...What do I do?

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.

They are the exact opposite... they are open headphones so they let basically all noise in

well they certainly aren't nonice canceling and they aren't noise canceling either.......

Nope, open. People can hear what you're listening to and you can hear noise around you.

Not total cancellation. They block out most noise, but no they don't offer active noise cancellation.

They are not the same. If you want noise canceling and the issues that come with battery powered headphones, get Bose. Noise canceling always colors the sound...good or bad. The Shure with the 3 driver system is pro quality in ear monitor. They fit into your ear and seal out the noise. No electronic noise canceling.

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!

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.

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.

No, these are not noise cancelling at all. The only noise that is cancelled out is if you crank the volume way up which leads to distortion. If you keep the volume at a decent level you can still hear the outside world fairly well.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

They are absolutely NOT noise canceling. They're actually quite the opposite. They sit just barely outside the ear canal to allow some surrounding sounds in so that you can run safely near traffic and hear a friend talk to you during a run. The sound is still rather good despite this feature.

I'm not sure. I purchased these for their noise cancellation feature, which blocks outside noise from disturbing you. Needless to say, they didn't work at all so I returned them and purchased Bose headphones which work much better. These are ordinary headphones. they will probably work for you as long as you don't have the volume too loud. Good luck.

Not these. These just cancel sound. Keep searching Vic Firth does make a pair like you want for around $50

The only headphone that I know does that is Bose. The over the ear noise cancellation ones are awesome.

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

If you get ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING INSPIRATION THEY OFFER/GET THE MONSTER INSPIRATION (NOT THE PASSIVE NOISE CANCELLING.). So get ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING. I have 3 pairs of Beats Studio and then I got the ACTIVE/INSPIRATION. I haven't listened to my beats since

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

They are not noise cancelling in the way that Bose devices are. These do not generate a counter frequency, but they do generate a white noise. They work, but not perfectly. When I wore them while mowing, the roar of the motor was muted but still there. I think the technology to do actual noise cancelling costs more. My biggest problem with these was that they broke quickly. That plastic strap that goes between the earpieces broke and from that time on the earphones were loose and fell off anytime I tilted my head.
