Is this noise cancelling or just blocking out some noise by the padding?

These have noise isolation padding so when you have it at certain volume you can barely hear outside noise. Even on some lower volume or no volume you can tell the difference. I can hear others talking with them on no sound but it's almost as if they are surpresed

I feel that the padding works pretty well as noise cancelling. If you have music playing at a moderate volume, the padding and the music is enough for you to not hear pretty much anything.

Just block out, there are not noise cancelling, but they are great Headphones!!!!

It will cancel some noise but be careful, you do need to turn them up a bit but having them up high for long periods of time will blow out the right ear bud. Very nice headphones non-the less

I do not think that is true. If they do cancel noise, I have not noticed it. Still great headphones, but I would not say they are noise cancelling.

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

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.

Just Volume limiting. But due to their great cupping of the ear and their nice padding, I would say they do cancel quite a lot of noise.

I don't believe they are technically classified as noise-cancelling but I wear them at the gym and I do not have to crank up the volume on headphones to cover external sounds from other noise around me. I can have them at a normal volume and hear my device just fine. With the different ear piece sizes they fit nicely which attributes more to the good sound quality.

noise cancelling is not = to mute. You still hear but the external sound is greatly reduced & is MUCH lower.

The noise canceling isn't as good as the BOSE Quiet Comfort 15. Playing white noise from an external speaker with the ANC on, I still hear some of it. I would say it blocks 50%-60% of outside noise. When in front of my fan, there is a notable difference but nothing drastic. When in a car at idle, you'll still hear the engine, but it won't completely block it.

No, they are not. They are not too bad, though! With them foam cover, it blocks more noise.

its not noise canceling, its volume control. it limits how loud the headphone volume can get to avoid eardrum damage in kids

Mildly noise isolating. I got the comply foam tips and those make it better... Maybe to the level of shure headphones.Highly recommended

I don't really know what noise cancellation means, but I can tell you that I don't hear anything else when I am wearing these headphones. They are also very comfortable to wear.

No, the only noise cancellation is what they block out by being sealed in your ears.

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

It blocks a fair amount, yes...more than my earbuds did. But I have never had a "noise-cancelling" headset, so I don't know how it would compare.

this may be a newer model than mine since it doesn't have the foam padding and I'm not sure about the noise reduction capabilities other than the fact that it is a full ear-cup design and would reduce noise by covering the ears rather than being stuck into the ears, like "earbuds". I hope you have better luck than I did. I had to get four of them in order to have two working ones and one of them isn't perfect.
