Is this noise cancelling?

These headphones don't have active noise canceling; however they do have noise isolation, or "passive" noise canceling. It's like when you cup your hands over your ears. They're actually not that bad at it either. I've had to use the MDR10R for in-ear monitors on stage before and I couldn't intelligibly hear anything that wasn't coming from them.

Not actually noise canceling but seem well insulated without much ambient noise bleed-in. Unless someone is talking loudly next to you and you are listening to something quieter (like dialog in a movie) they seem to work great for me.

There not noise cancelling. However, the base is such that it renders noise cancelling irrelevant. And after all, that's all noise cancelling is- exaggerated base.

Not entirely. It excels on canceling repetitive low frequency noise, such as the airplane turbines, but fails on more complex sounds.

no... its one part of the sennheiser i.e. 80 that it is not very strong at. noise isolation. But it is very acceptable for many people like me

Yes, this model is Noise Cancelling. The tube model is not, but this one Is the Noise cancelling Style.

No not noise cancelling...They are somewhat basic headphones but just clear sound.

There are no adjustments for any noise canceling of this headset. It is an across the board high quality microphone and stereo/mono speakers. I can tell you this; the sound comes in booming loud and clear. The mic has not been any problem to anyone on the receiving end however I am not in a background high noise environment therefore I cannot judge on what the mic might pickup from that sort of condition.

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.

Not too bad, but of course they're not really designed as noise-cancelling specifically. I wore them on a 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney and it certainly made a difference though.

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.

Yup! It's noise cancelling. With regards to listening to music you should choose the right ear buds that will have a nice fit to your ears, cause if it's too loose then you can hear some noise and also the base of the music will be very light. The volume is okey.

Not really. It's on the large side, and it's not noise canceling. They're open headphones, so people around you will hear what you're listening to if it's loud enough.

Yes it is...I purchased this specifically for use with my noise cancelling ear buds,if this is what you have in mind it works perfect...regards Richard

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.

No. Not noise canceling, but they are a great value for entry level aviation headset.

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.
