from Bob P from New Orleans, www.circuitcity.com
very pleased with the noise reduction, it kills off a huge amount of background noise.

the noise canceling component was quite good.

it's kind of dangerous walking around with this headphone on since it really does block out the ambience noise quite well.

from www.amazon.com
the biggest thing i noticed is that even in songs with very low and big bass, it doesn't drown out any other sounds.
from www.amazon.com
the ath-anc7 was developed with noise-cancellation in mind, so it is difficult to compare audio quality, as the functions are different.

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

the noise canceling works very well taking care of engine noise and other low frequencies.

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

with the ear-cups all around your ears (yes they do totally cover them) it helps to concentrate the sound from the headphones, and block out some of the sound from around you.
