Noise canceling technology
Noise canceling headphones reduce ambient noise and provide a quieter environment to enhance audio entertainment. The headphones have an inside microphone on each earpiece that work with an electronic circuitry to create an opposite sound wave to reduce wave. Ambient sound is reduced by synthesizing with a sound in opposite phase produced by the noise canceling circuit.

Nice headphones
Pros: comfort, noise reduction, quality, sound quality is above avg. but not excellent
Cons: have to turn power on mp3 player up a bit
Noise cancelling features work great. one rechargeable AAA lasts a long time, 4-6 RT flights across the country. Ear "cups" are comfortable and the over the head strap is cushioned and does not irritate as some other types have. Reduces ambient noises very well, eg airplane motors. Works well with my mp3 and portable DVD players. These are not the most efficient speaker drivers. It takes a bit of juice from my devices to get the volume to a good level. Sometimes my DVD player runs at max volume to make things audible. And I am not a fan of loud noises directly in my ear. Sound quality is good but these do not function as an audiophile set of headphones. I like mine a lot and recommend them.
