so far the noise cancelling feature works well on general environmental white noise, but i'll get the chance to try it out on airplane noise next month.

when i am on the plane it blocks out most noise,so i am hearing good quality music on my mp3 player.
from A Customer from Los Angeles, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
not bad for the price and it does reduce the noise around you...i used it at work and gym...but it needs a little more bass.

from Batman from BandForce, The Underground, www.circuitcity.com
the sound is great and even though it's not technically noise-canceling, it does a very good job of it anyways.

i had it really low and i could hear everything perfectly, notto mention they blocked out all the noise.

the sound quality is great, the fit is wonderful, they isolate the sound (noise-reduction), the design of the cord is convenient, and the price is outstanding.

they fit in the ear canal, going allot deeper in the ear then others for sound isolation and do not fall out like many others.

from www.crutchfield.com
the headphone can be used in a home w/out the noise canceling, in which case they are much better sounding than the other competitors.
from www.crutchfield.com
i used to travel with the bose quietcomfort 2, which indeed does provide good noise reduction on airplanes.
from www.amazon.com
most noise reduction headphones don't give quality when in this mode; this headphone delivers it all.
from www.amazon.com
noise attenuation on bypass mode is second to none and on electronic noise cancellation it is even better.

from "IR Eric", www.abt.com
on a plane they make it very quiet and when listening to anything the volume level can be reduced to a minimum.
from www.compuplus.com
the active noise canceling is amazing as well.
from redcell6, www.shopping.com
noise reduction is great.
from www.amazon.com
the noise isolation is a wonderful compliment to the sound quality (which as everyone says could do with a little more bass and i tend to agree) and it makes listening to music so enjoyable!
from www.amazon.com
i didn't want noise cancelling technology because it doesn't handle the voices around me, and i didn't want to crank up the volume to block the noise.

from www.amazon.com
my only major gripe about the m50s is that the 'leatherette' ear padding's do promote sweaty ears, but they offer great isolation and minimal sound leakage.
from www.amazon.com
reasonably compact (they fold into an included, small sack), they provide excellent sound isolation and a great range of bass, mid, and hi tones.
from www.amazon.com
these aren't noise canceling, so there's no added buzzing or pressure like some sets produce.

what's great about it:?outstanding noise cancel technology, amazing audio, very comfortable!
from www.amazon.com
denon's claim of "99% noise cancellation" is probably overstating it, but for wearing the headphones around the city, it's probably better to notice an approaching taxi's horn rather than not hear it

from Joe from Michigan, www.circuitcity.com
it's nice that they block out a lot of the noise around you, so you don't have to turn up the volume as loud as with other headphones.

it's not classified as noise canceling, but it acts just like it.

these babies stay in your ears no matter what happens around you.4) excellent noise canceling ratio.5) replaceable cable.
from www.amazon.com
as i mentioned before, they're louder than the stock phones (and much better isolation) so instead of having the volume up 1/2 way, i now have it at 1/3.

these of course are not noise-canceling...even tho the cans are huge, they are not soundproof - that's not what "double air dampening" refers to (even if at might want you to think it does...i

noise canceling head phones don't do a thing for drowning out other loud music, but these over-the-ear head phones would.

they included 6 different ear adapters - which made it easy to find the right ones that really block outside noise.

it turns out that for me, that meant using the largest bud that they provided and it also as a double ridge, which i found helped provide noise isolation while reproducing the best low end.
