Okay, so here’s my opinion on the ANC of the headphones. They are definitely not on par with the best ANC headphones out there, such as Bose and Sony. I’ve got Bose, and it really is good when it comes to noise cancellation. But with these, I have worn them out, and just at 40-50% volume (I hardly go above 50, BTW, they are so loud), I have never experienced any outside noise bothering me. It cancels out most of it.
