    There is a direct correlation between how noise cancelling my kids headphones are - and how noisy they are to others. This keeps the noise in both them and their ears

    Wow! I'm really impressed by the sound quality, noise cancelling performance, and feature set. They are comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. I haven't yet had opportunity to try the microphone for videoconferencing, but I am optimistic. These are not budget headphones. But you do get what you pay for with these.

    What a great product. Over the ear headphones. Noise cancellation is great. The fact that I can connect with two devices at one time is worth it. It provides a super rich bass with clear lows with highs.

    These headphones were a gift to my son for Christmas. As I was in the kitchen prepping Christmas dinner, he comes in bawling. I thought something was wrong. I held him and asked him what was wrong. Through tears he said "I can hear evey sound. These are amazing headphones. Thank you so much mom." And the tears continued to flow. He was more than happy with his gift. I'm extremely happy that I got them on Black Friday because I thought about getting some for myself today for my birthday. Um....nope. But they sound fantastic!!!

    Nice noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones

    I bought these to use during airline travel, to reduce the effects of engine noise when I try to listen to audio, either from airline entertainment, or from a personal device. I have not taken any trips since receiving these, so I don't know how well they will work against the noise of jet engines. I did, however, try listening to a quiet audio recording (Barber's "Adagio for Strings") while sitting next to a running vacuum cleaner. The headphones performed well to dramatically reduce the sounds of the vacuum cleaner. I could turn the headphone noise cancelling off to see what a difference the electronic feature provides -- well beyond the "ear muffs" effect of their over-the-ear design.
