Rating: - Forget noise cancelation !
I just got them today. It does not cancel anything! It can't even cancel low noise of pc while working (ventilation, hd, typing). Don't even wanna talk about cancelation of noise while someone is watching tv, typing, phone ringing. 0%. null, nothing. When you turn them on, it only amplifies the sound, and amplification works even with total silence, so amplification is not result of noise reduction !
Headphones should be renamed to "amplified headphones".
Rating: - I'm very happy with them.
I use these with my Creative Zen M, mainly while commuting to work on a bus. While the noise canceling isn't what you'd expect on a more expensive set, these work very well as far as I'm concerned. And I don't get any buzzing with it switched on.
The Zen is renowned for being too quiet, but these head sets have a volume control which gives me the ability to turn the volume above the Zen's maximum. That, and that they fit snuggly and do have some noise canceling effect makes them worth the money that I paid. And being in Australia, the shipping to me was more expensive than the unit ...

Rating: - Pretty Good for the price
These probably wouldn't be able to stack up against Bose Headphones or something that expensive. But, if you need something that you can use while you mow and work in loud areas, these can work. They don't totally go over your ears, but they do seal well enough to hear somewhat. As far as an airplane goes, these would do if you weren't comfortable taking something so expensive like Bose QC2s or QC3s with you to risk losing them to your not so friendly government official. I wish they had more battery capacity so they could go a Little louder, and I wish they sealed a little better, but other than ... Read More
Rating: - Noise cancelation is one giant lie.
The noise cancellation is really making the sound louder. There is no noise cancellation and I would argue (without poping it open) that the "microphones" on the speakers used for noise cancellation are in fact just for aesthetic purposes. By making it louder you are unable to hear external noise, however I generally listen to everything pretty low, and around-ear headphones cancel the noise quite better without any "cancellation" technology.
Also it requires a AAA battery to operate and is VERY bulky compared to normal headphones. What the picture does not show is the big "pen" that ... Read More
Rating: - Worst Noise Cancellation EVER!
I bought these headphones to try them out against my Sony in ear headphones, but I have to say that these barely cancel out 10% of the noise. My Sony headphones cancel at least 60% of the noise. I was hoping the other users were not able to activate the Noise Cancellation, or that the "sweet spot" the other users mentioned was easier to find, but this is not the case. These headphones really suck, and there is almost no Noise Cancellation at all. DO NOT BUY THESE. THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!
