the cord is log enough to fit into the headphone jack of an airplane, or an ipod on your belt.
from Vince from Rosemead, www.circuitcity.com
it's not classified as noise canceling, but it acts just like it.
from BB from Salt Lake, www.circuitcity.com
they say they are not noise-canceling but they do a great job of it.

Denon AH-NC732K Active Noise Cancelling

$187.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
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 www.amazon.com
as with most of their products, denon came through once again with the ah-nc732k noise canceling headphones.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted noise reduction headphones to concentrate in the office and for flights.
from www.amazon.com
the sound quality is very good just as regular headphones and the noise cancelling works exceptionally well.

as far as the noise canceling goes, with the headphones alone in your ear it calcels out some sound but you can still hear but as soon as you start playing a song, you cant hear anything but the music

they do a better job of blocking outside noises than earbuds do, but over-ear headphones do it better even if they don't have the noise-cancellation features.
