Are these Noise-Cancelling? Amazon is advertising them as 'Noise-Cancelling'.

I've used them in coffee shops and at work. They're not great in either environment, so I usually use my cheap pair of in-ears instead and save these for home use. But they sound phenomenal if you don't have any competing noise. They're not completely bad for a semi-loud environment, but you definitely hear outside noise.

No, they're not noise cancelling at all. They're open back headphones so they will not isolate you from the outside world. Plus, they leak out a lot of sound. The Bose QC25 should suit your needs quite well since they are in fact noise cancelling.

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

I have never used them in an environment to judge noise cancelling, but I would say, if you listen to your music at max volume, yes :)

These are not noise-cancelling headphones; they are open-back. As such, they're ideal for use at home.

No, microphone, and these are not noise cancelling. But, they Sound Very Good.

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.

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

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.

These are not noise canceling, but they will muffle outside noise because they wrap around your ears. Real noise canceling headphones add white noise to the sound to block all outside noise. As for 'SoundTrue', that's just a marketing name. It doesn't mean anything.

They are not noise cancelling in the way that Bose devices are. These do not generate a counter frequency, but they do generate a white noise. They work, but not perfectly. When I wore them while mowing, the roar of the motor was muted but still there. I think the technology to do actual noise cancelling costs more. My biggest problem with these was that they broke quickly. That plastic strap that goes between the earpieces broke and from that time on the earphones were loose and fell off anytime I tilted my head.

They aren't noise-canceling headphones, as in they don't have "Active Noise Control" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control) but when I put them on, things definitely get much more muted.

These headphones would be considered "closed ear" meaning they reduce outside/environment noise by creating a seal with soft surround material around the ear rejecting outside noises. I don't think it would be considered 'noise cancelling' in the industry sense meaning it does not 'actively' or electronically reduce outside noises.

They do more than most headphones but they are not noise cancelling so not completely. For example without music you CAN hear people talking that are a few feet away, but with music you CAN NOT. Hope this helped. I would recommended these headphones, they're great.

Occasionally the original set up indicates some of the features are overstated. I do not believe these are noise canceling and also could not find that in the product listing. These particular units are not.

They're real, Amazon.com is an authorized dealer in the sennheiser site so you're good.

I would think not. As others have said they are not noise cancellation. If you can deal with that one problem then you are set because they are overall fantastic headphones for the price range.

They r not noise canceling. The cups do form a very good fit to isolate and direct sound well. I have worn them on many flights and they do a wonderful job at blocking out that unbearable screaming baby that some how always gets the seat behind you.

They are not noise canceling. However, safety is in the hands of the user when it comes to audio devices. Depending on the multiple variables of the user along with the desired volume any headphone or ear bud could easily block elemental noise.

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