are the headphones good for the noise cancelling?

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

Had a pair of Danon or Denon noise cancelling headphones my wife got me for Christmas one year. They worked well but broke within one year. I bought these for my wife, and I do not believe they were marketed as noise cancelling, however, having used these at the gym, the over the ear capability worked as well as the Denon phones. Don't really know how you intend to use these but they are great earphones. Price to sound and quality A+ Hope this helped.

When I'm in the room with my daughter and she is listening to the tv I can still hear it a little so they don't completely cancle out noise but also I really don't hear a lot of "outside" noise if I'm listening to something through the headphones.

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.

No, they're not noise canceling headphones, they're isolation headphones. Noise-canceling headphones have built-in battery-powered circuitry that cancels noise through phase inversion. These headphones are designed to keep sound from bleeding out into a microphone while recording and to keep loud sounds, like drums, from bleeding in and interfering with what you are trying to listen to while recording. The closed back and over ear design give you a good seal. They will block a lot of noise, but not quite like the active circuitry in noise-canceling headphones.

No, not sound cancelling. Still, they do pretty good job in isolation from ambient sound.

Not really, they're not exactly noise canceling; on louder volumes, you can keep out noise

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.

They do not seem to be noise canceling. However, they do a decent job at it for non-noise canceling headphones.

Sure, they are over-the-ear headphones. I've used them on a plane and found them fine. They won't beat a good pair of noise canceling headphones, but are decent.

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.

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.

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

No, they're not. You wouldn't find noise cancelling headphones for such a ridiculous price. Keep in mind one thing, though : noise cancelling headphones does not mean noise free because you will still hear a faint background noise due to the noise cancelling system. I bought these because you don't have this noise, which makes the sound pure and clear when listening in a quiet room. Hope this helped.

Yes. I wear them to mow the lawn and I don't hear a thing but what's on my headphones. Great noise cancelling headphones.

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.

Yes. But whether with or without music, the noise canceling is only a partial reduction in outside noise.

yes... I am using mine at the gym. You just need to be a little more aware that they are there. Noise canceling is why I got them and they are over the ear!! plus they sound amazing!!

The N-Tunes do a pretty good job of noise cancellation. They aren't "Noise Cancelling Headphones" But i believe they do the job pretty well. :)
