these can't possibly be "noise-canceling", like it says under "technical details". Or are they? Please clarify. thanks

I believe they are, but I listen to my music really loud and my dad will yell and I can't hear anything besides my music. I don't hear anything so I guess it just depends on how the person likes the headphones. But these are the only kind I'll buy.

Let me make it simple and short. They are not like Bose type of headphones if thats what your refering to. If you want that type of quality mihjt as well buy the Bose. As for Skullcandy headphones outside noise still does enter in but with the price difference between Bose and Skullcandy you cant go wrong. These are my secind pair of these and the only reasonni would buy it again bcuz its good quality headphones with Bass which ar great when listening to music. Overall great phones for lower price.

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

They are only noise cancelling as much as anything else that plugs up your ear. There isn't much external noise when playing music, however. Overall they were decent ear-buds for the money; just make sure they are the full item, rather than the OEM variety, as those only come with one set of silicone inserts and may not fit all ear types!

They are most certainly not. These have basic features with a lower case b.

If they fit well they remove minor sounds (under 75 decibals) but they aren't going to compare to full on headsets or anything but it's better than nothing.

They r not noise canceling. The cups do form a very good fit to isolate and direct sound well. I have worn them on many flights and they do a wonderful job at blocking out that unbearable screaming baby that some how always gets the seat behind you.

I'm glad you note "noise REDUCTION" because these are not true "noise-cancelling" just because they cover the ear and block out sound to some extent. Noise cancelling is an extra white noise sound that plays throughout use.

If you mean are they noise cancelling the answer is no. And these headphones are uncomfortable when you wear them for a long duration.

They are pretty snugged on your ears but it's not 100% sound Proof, their is no noise cancelation but it does provide a lot of noise to be blocked off, if you want more detail on noise cancelation for these watch YouTube videos on what they look like, sound like and how they feel live on video to get a better perspective of it.

These are not noise canceling so you can hear a little. However, I listen to music pretty much on full blast and my husband can only hear very soft, muffled sound when sitting next to me but not enough to make out what I'm listening to or disturb the pertain next to you. If you're goal is total silence then you need to pay up for the nose canceling style.

No, they are not noise canceling. Frankly, I feel safer when I can hear a bit of the sound around me.

These are not noise canceling, but they will muffle outside noise because they wrap around your ears. Real noise canceling headphones add white noise to the sound to block all outside noise. As for 'SoundTrue', that's just a marketing name. It doesn't mean anything.

No Noise cancellation and they are insufficient to keep out the noise while watching a movie on the plane. The headphones were great except for that, so I returned them. I tried the Sennheisers But they were very poor noise cancelling and the V-Moda which were excellent except they were "noise-lowering" or some such thing and kept no noise out. After buying and returning all of these, I went back to my Bose Quiet Comfort 15's which were still the best of the bunch. I will wait for the next gen which will be noise cancelling AND bluetooth.

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.

Mine do a great job. Obviously they aren't actual noise canceling headphones, but they doa great job in my opinion. Mine also fit snug in my ear which no doubt helps.

No they aren't !!! , the volume is really low using them . And they keep popping out my ear . So I only use them for the computer. :-(

No not noise cancelling...They are somewhat basic headphones but just clear sound.

These headphones would be considered "closed ear" meaning they reduce outside/environment noise by creating a seal with soft surround material around the ear rejecting outside noises. I don't think it would be considered 'noise cancelling' in the industry sense meaning it does not 'actively' or electronically reduce outside noises.

I use these headphones for the exact same reason. They don't completely cancel out the noise but they reduce it enough that the noise isn't bothersome any more. Keep in mind that these are not technically noise-canceling headphones, but they are instead noise-reducing headphones which do a great job. These headphones are, in fact, better than the -canceling ones for this kind of situation.

Jonah, these are not noise cancelling head phones so it you're looking to shut yourself off from the world these are not for you. I feel like these were designed for the bast sound, and yeah you can turn it up so you can't hear anything from the outside world if you would like. There is some leakage when you have them turned up. I work next to a lady that pays way too much attention to everyone else and she can hear them when I have them about 75% up. These are meant for the pleasure of the listener.

They are not advertised as noise cancelling head phones and do not have the noise cancelling feature. With that said it does seem that you are only able to hear negligible outside noise while wearing. As well there is minimal sound leak.
