how's the noise cancelling on these compared to bose qcs or audio technicas (i.e., bose is probably the standard so how inferior are these)?

The sound is incredibleThe only down side is they are a little tight on your head

Bose may be the top seller, but if you consider the Bose QCS "standard", this product is "superior". Having owned both this like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford. Klipsch Audio has always ben better at speakers than Bose in my book. The noise cancelling is terrific, as good or better than Bose. I assume you might use these to listen to music also? These will knock your scoks off....and turn heads with the style factor.

The noise canceling is actually pretty good. However, if you are listening to audio books, than nothing will help. Don't ask me why but for some reason none of the noise canceling headphones out there do the job for audio books. Now if you want the best quality all around, I would go with ATHM50. Hands down the best quality sound. A bit big and bulky, but the best. Audio-Technica ATHM50RD Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, Red

Very good but you need to know these are full size headphones. I am selling my brand new ones because I wanted something small and light.

These we're great as far as the noise cancellation. I really liked that you could turn it off and still listen to music (you can't with the bose). However, I returned them Klipsch because they were so tight on my head and gave me a headache. THey were also VERY heavy compared to the Bose.

No idea. I'm happy with the Audio Technica. I bought the headphones bc online reviews rated them at least as good as the Bose, and cheaper. The Bose are prettier, though

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

Noise canceling isn't great. Bose qc15 have excellent noise canceling however the sound quality is better on the ue6000. I love my Logitech headphones!

They are pretty good when using them. They aren't 100% noise canceling. But you will notice a difference compared to most headphones.

I have. Their size is a little tough for long flights, as they slip around on the ear a bit, making it tough to sleep. The sound quality is fine, though. I've never really believed that true Noise-cancelling was all that necessary as long as you have good coverage in an over-ear set.

I have used many headphones that are not noise cancelling. These stand with some of the best. I bought the PSB M4U-2's while my wife bought the Bose. Better noise cancelling on the Bose but far superior sound quality on the PSB's! I was able to wear them for 8 hour flights with no fatigue. Very happy with this product.

Yeah, I bought a pair of these and brought them to the office. My boss has a pair of QC2's and we compared them side by side. The ANC's do leak noise considerably more than the Bose. You can test them on your head with a partner, or you can turn the cups down on a table and listen for the leakage. I decided to send mine back and get the Bose instead. I also had issues with some very mild static on the ANC's on a flight last week - very slight, but it was there none-the-less.

From my experience, these would be about same effectiveness of any passive closed headphones. The noise cancellation is not very effective. I fly frequently with Bose Quietcomfort series headphones which are the best for planes.

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

They are not noise canceling, but the isolation is fantastic. I have not had any problems with external noise while wearing these. The only disadvantage is they are a little large for carrying around.

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.

I own a Bose noise canceling headset similar to the set in question (ATH-ANC27). Bose is by far the best. For the money and size the ATH-ANC23 (in the ear) that I bought has surprising abilities. I was very impressed.

It all depends on the volume I set it on and if it is too noisy around me. They are pretty good in a normal scenario; that includes the noise canceling.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have had mine for eight months and there have been no issues other than that the noise cancelling is rubbish. So I did what I should have done in the first place and bought a pair of Bose QC15s for plane travel and the NC is perfect. I still use the HKs but not where noise cancelling is required.

The noise cancelling is pretty good. I have a roommate who plays drums and vibraphone, and he's usually pretty loud. When I put them on and play some music, I can't hear him practice. They're really good especially for the price, highly recommended.

I can't comment on how they compare to the Bose headphones but I find the sound quality and sound isolation to be excellent. I typically wear them when exercising and find them as comfortable as any other ear buds I've used.
