Negative Positive
Title: Audio quality is fabulous, noise cancellation OK.
Review: I've enjoyed having these headphones. I got them to work in a busy, noisy open office. The headphones don't do a great job of canceling out the noise of the office without any music playing; however, with music at a reasonably low volume, I don't hear any talking / office noise. When the noise cancellation is off, the headphones still work, but the sound quality and volume level of music is much reduced. I'd suggest getting rechargeable batteries to go along with these headphones if you plan on using them often. I haven't yet used them on a plane, but they're fairly bulky to take along for travel.
Is the review positive or negative?
