Title: 85% is about right..
Product review: I thinkg the advertising that unwanted ambient sounds are muted by 85% is accurate. I bought these headphones hoping to cancel out to the fullest extent possible unwanted sounds of juries taking their smoke breaks right under my 2nd floor office window-sound travels upwards and penetrates through the eaves and windows of building. I put the switch into "on" position when I hear the jurors on smoke break, and in my experience, 85% is about right. The sound is definitely muted..and to the point where I can go back to working on computer and no longer be distracted (and annoyed). These headphones also take the sharp edge off of the office chatter I hear around me, to the point I can resume concentration, still hear phone ring, or a tap on the door. I will keep these headphones and would purchase them again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
