Do these actually have canceling noise technology?

I would assume so, if you're asking if it works, I can say yes, to an extent, it really depends on the volume you are listening atin conclusion: yes?

Typically Balanced armature earphones isolate very well. The Meelec 161p's are no exception. With the several tips included, using the triple flange, i can't hear a thing on the outside. I live in the city, and take several bus rides. Isolation is superb. Hope this helps

I don't think so. The noise cancelling comes from the fact that the ear plugs fit inside the canal and thus block out noise just as ear plugs would. In any event they sound fantastic and fit comfortably.

I replaced the manufactures tips with "Comply" brand premium foam tips. They do a great job at drowning out noise around you. If you have someone that intends to get your attention you will be able to hear them...

I was put in an office with a transformer in the ceiling above my desk. Despite insulation being added around the unit at my request, the noise was giving me a headache on a daily basis. I ordered these to provide some measure of comfort for office use with my iPhone. They work great and noise was diminished such that I had to remove to talk to people. Now I am not saying they are surround the ear canceling but definitely noise reduction to the level I was looking for and more.

No, the only noise cancellation is what they block out by being sealed in your ears.

They seal quite well so they passively cancel. There are no active electronics. I fly frequently and they do a good job. I hope this helps.

Noise cancellation is a technology where a sound wave is generated which has the effect of cancelling the sound wave of the incoming noise. Ear plugs are not noise cancellation in the technical sense, which is what the manufacturer seems to be implying by calling these noise cancelling headphones.

Yes they are. Some devices require you to switch on for noise cancelling, HM7000 instead is always active.

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

No they're not. They block out a lot of sound though but definitely not sound cancelling.

No, they are not active cancelling, like Bose. But I looked at it when was on sale hoping that it might have that feature.

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.

No, they are not noise canceling, hence you do hear the outside noise, but less so if you get a good sealing. I've never had to increase the volume to the max so far, so the volume is not low for me.

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.
453498
Yes. It's true they aren't noise canceling, but they do a pretty good job as far as I can tell. My parents complain that I can't hear them calling if I have them on, so that gives you some idea :-)
2107269
Yes they do cancel the loud noise. They also stay in the ear. I really like them.
977647
No, but keep in mind that these aren't aren't active noise cancellation phones. They isolate by virtue of their in-ear design, but don't reduce noise nearly as much as active circuitry does

they are not noise cancelling. they do though keep out pretty much all sound though and they do get very very loud.

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.

They do not have a noise canceling system designed into them. They are however a great sounding set of headphones.
1987143
Yes. But whether with or without music, the noise canceling is only a partial reduction in outside noise.

They are not "noise cancelling." They are simply in-ear headphones that fit pretty sungly and therefore muffle outside sound. A similar pair that I got after these that I liked much, much better and I'm still using almost a year later is this one: Philips SHE3590BL/10 In-Ear Headphones

You would be correct that there is no noise cancellation. Basically noise reduction allows you to listen loudly without disturbing others around you.
