Comfortable and great sound quality but...

They are comfortable, sound great and look nice. After a couple of months of use the active cancelling started acting up. Now I have a low rumbling/vibrating driver on the left side of the set. This only happens when the NC switch is on but I use the noise cancelling all the time meaning that it happens often. This is very annoying specially when tilting my head to my right side, this makes the rumbling/vibration even more pronounced. I will be contacting the service center to see if this can be fixed but this shouldn't happen at all. Reading the other reviews I noticed that others are experiencing the same issue.
Pros: 3 modes of noise cancellation, Comfortable, Sound quality, can be used with or without battery, memory foam earcups
Cons: low frequency vibration after only months of use

Best noise-cancelling ever!

The quality of sound speak for himself. I have tried Beats By Dre and Bose, but the best combination of precise sound and huge noise canceling is present in ATH-ANC9. They still working after battery runs out (but without noise canceling, of course) and the control cable shipped with product works both with my Nexus 4 android phone and my Ipod / Ipad. Battery life is about 15h with rechargeable NiMh.Awesome.
Pros: Block Noise, Casual Listening, OFFICE, Travel
Cons: don't appear to be sturdy

Just got my ANC9 and enjoying them!

I've had the Bose QC15 and Soul SL300 in the past but I prefer my new ACN9 over them. I like the sound quality over both previous headphones and the noise cancellation is almost as good as the QC15. It does produce stronger bass which I prefer, but overall the sound quality is well defined. The headphones are very comfortable and appear to be well made. I�ve had them for only a couple of days so reliability is undetermined. I did recommend this same pair to my friend who travels often. He went with me when I purchased mine and he borrowed it over lunch. We went right back to the store and he bought the other pair in stock. I did purchase the extended warranty thru my retailer so I don�t have to deal with some of the issues I�ve read about on this website.
Pros: Casual Listening, Travel

Massaging my ear drums with the purring of delightful tunes

Verified Purchase:No
After being disappointed with the build quality of my previous ANC headphones (company and brand not important), I put in some solid research into a replacement ANC headset and the ATH-ANC9 ticked all the boxes for me in specifications and other reviews. My ATH-ANC9's arrived this morning and I have spent the day extremely happy and being in my own noise cancelled world, listening to a wide variety of music. The packaging was nice, came with all the required accessories, being able to select different levels of ANC is also quite useful. These headphones are exactly what I wanted. The only improvement I can think of is possibly better cables, for the price the cables don't feel all that durable, however no major drama as they are not hard wired so I can simply order more durable replacement cables if needed. Love your work Audio Technica, keep doing what you do best.
Pros: Comfortable, Good Bass, Great Sound, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent choice for working, studying etc.

Briliant noice cancelling, really comfortable in the head. Bass is a bit too much for my taste by overall great sound (my reference is the Sennheiser sound, generally speaking). Now please make a version with bluetooth...
Pros: Comfortable, Good Bass, Good Value, Great Sound, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Buy, Recommend and Gift (but ugly)

When searching for great value, need and performance ANC 9s checked all these boxes with an added bonus over Bose which is the ability to change your level of noise cancellation or not use it at all. Sound quality is impeccable, the earphones extremely comfortable, light and fold into a compact style especially if you do not want to carry the carrying case. My only complaint is 1) the design for such a beautiful product technology wise they do not match aesthetically :-( this is a disappointment please revisit the design. 2) I've had these for 3 years but some time lets say a year in because of the "leather" on the headphones is not the greatest quality (or I can be abusive) I feel as if it did not hold up the way I desired.
Pros: Comfortable, Compact, Good Bass, Good Value, Great Sound, Lightweight
Cons: Unattractive Design
I would recommend this to a friend!
