As of writing this I have not used the noise canceling function so I cant talk to that, but the sound quality is decent for the price. I have problems with over the ear headphones, they make my ears heat up and I have to take them off every 10 minutes or so. i was hoping these might be different, but no so.
Absolutely the best headphones I have ever heard. On par with the Sony and Bose. Consumer Reports compared them and said they were about as good. Plus, the price is way less.
