Title: Noise cancelling? Not quite.
Review: Granted these headphones are inexpensive, and not as uncomfortable as the price might lead you to expect. But noise-cancelling? Nope.The major difference that I could tell between the ON and OFF positions in the ANR switch is that in the ON position, it does a much better job of... picking up the funny electrical noises my iPhone produces when it is about to receive a call, or accessing the internet. I was not able to detect any noise reduction at all.Pros:1) cheap2) folding3) has airline adapter & carrying bagCons:1) not great sound2) the active noise cancellation doesn't work3) poor shielding of the ANR causes it to pick up electrical noiseIf you are looking for cheap, and relatively comfortable, go for it. But don't expect truly great sound or any ANR at all. Without the battery, it's a bit lighter, and actually works better.
