Is there any kind of noise canceling in this model? if not, is that a problem when commuting in a train for example?

There is no actual active noise cancelling, but it blocks out pretty much all noise - much to my surprise. They seal so well on my ears that you can't hear anything. I use them at the gym almost daily and it blocks out all the noise from the gym. It also works the other way. While wearing them, I can turn the volume all the way up, and even standing right next to me, someone else can't hear the music. I would not hesitate in the least to purchase these again, active noise cancelling or not. They are one purchase I've made over the years that I absolutely LOVE. Plus, the ability to pair with two bluetooth devices at the same time is something I never thought much about until I actually use it. Whomever designed these should get a very fat reward. The only minor complaint I have is the location of the power button, but you can say with confidence that you will never accidentally turn them on or off. Hope this helps - but my opinion - plane, train, or automobile - don't hesitate on these.

Provides decent physical external sound blockage, but is not noise canceling. I have bose noise canceling. They only work with steady sounds. Like the hum of the road or an airplane engine/wind.

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

They do not say that they are noise cancelling but they are close as it gets if they are not. I work in downtown Phoenix and when I make my commute each morning, I cannot hear a thing around me and have to take a bud out in order to hear anyone talking or any other sounds. Hope this helps.

There's no active noise cancellation or isolation, so there is some leakage. However, it is over the ear and fits snugly and the noise leakage is minimal -- when I play music at comfortable levels (for me) in the office, my officemates are not bothered. As for isolation, I haven't tried them outside of an office setting though my guess is that these cans may not suffice for a noisy metro ride -- though they do cancel enough noise such that my officemates have to talk at an elevated voice to get my attention/oftentimes I don't hear someone come in the door.

Nope, it is not noise cancelling. For noise cancelling, you can look at bose.http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/quietcomfort_15/index.jsp

This model doesn't have noise cancelling. Using the jack cord in the bundle will not use the batteries though, so I guess the answer for your question is yes.

hi , those doesn't have a cancelation noise, but the cups on your ear are to encloseru than the outside noises is despicable. I use those ones on the bus, metro and walking outside , the outside noise is not mixed with the music, the sound is great and overall comfortable. (psd. I have not use those Bose on the airplane)

I would not say noise canceling but a good reduction. They are comfortable, good looking and great sound. I'm pleased with the purchase.

Hi Victor,While I haven't had as good a luck with the noise cancellation, I haven't been in any environments as noisy as yours. I do know others have had good experience and with my previous generations of this headset, it has been the best of anything offered and the current gen is the same. I have used other makes and their noise cancellation isn't as good.

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

Not really. The frequency of the human voice does not get affected by the noise canceling.

Yes. There is active noise suppression. These work great on constant noise; more white noise of wind rushing by. People speaking becomes a dull mumble, but you still know they are talking. The ear buds fit into your ear canal like ear plugs, sealing out ambient noise. I have even worn them unattached to a device just to quiet a train ride. I don't think you can achieve 100% noise removal unless you go for an over-the-ear muff like the Bose QuietComfort.

The Brainwavz have vents, hence the isolation is not the greatest. Because of this, I don't really recommend them for commuting.

Sorry no these are not however they do isolate noise pretty well so you wont be able to hear nothing around they work pretty well in the train too so yea pretty good and on top of that no nose canceling means you dont have to waste money on batteries all the time hope i could be of help good bye

I hear it too sometimes - sounds in your skull are amplified. Try chewing gum or tapping on your forehead and you'll see what I mean. When you walk with solid heels the shock goes all the way through your spine into your skull and you actually hear it. I wear nice cushy athletic shoes often and I don't get the thump (as much) with those. I also get some microphonic cord noise - and have to clip the cord away from collars. I still think it's worth it. These are the only phones you can use in the NYC subway and still get good sound.

These are not noise-cancelling phones. I use sony noise-cancelling MDR-NC13 which are IMHO much better thanmy bose noise-cancelling headphone for planes rides. They are also much more comfortable than wearing headphones when trying to sleep on the plane.However, the RHA MA750 are fantastic phones for my other-than-plane ride use.

I tested this, and the music had to be really loud (old-school jungle at 120% volume loud) for someone next to me in a quiet room to report hearing anything. This is not, importantly, because of anything like "noise cancellation" (which messes with the signals themselves) but simply good design; you will have to turn the music off before you take them off your head in a library, because they do project some sound otherwise. Also, if you live in a city in which being annoying on public transport is considered unacceptable, please send brochures
