Product Description
The ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint headphones deliver natural sound and luxurious silence in a highly compact on-ear design. The fold-flat headphones incorporate Audio-Technica's acclaimed active noise-canceling technology to block out up to 85% of outside noise, while delivering clear, detailed and natural sound. The active noise-canceling circuitry is located in a handy external module attached to its connecting cord, for extremely lightweight on-ear wear. Although compact, the headphones deliver powerful, immersive sound, thanks to their precision high-efficiency full-range drivers and premium internal components. They're ideal for use with the Apple iPod, iPhone and iPod touch, portable music players, computers, in-flight entertainment systems and many other devices. The headphones also work when the noise-canceling function is turned off, and operate in passive mode without batteries.

Summary: Just as good as Bose! 2010-07-21
Comment: I actually tried on the Bose noise cancelling and then these headphones and they really are just as good. The difference is very slight. If you need to watch your pennies....these work great and are a good price!

Summary: Good product but..... 2010-07-19
Comment: This is my first noise cancelation headphone. I picked it over SONY or JVC models in the same price range after reading online reviews. First of all, this headphone is not good looking and is built with cheap material. It feels like one of those low end headsets you can get from Walmart or Target for less then $20. Second, the noise canceling button is poorly designed and can be defective. In fact, the first order I got had a defective switch. When I turned it on, it generated a loud static noise that hurt my ears, and the button fell off after 1 day of use. I had to return it for an exchange. Fortunately, the second one I got doesn't have the same problem. No noise is generated when I turn on/off the noise canceling switch. I have to say the sound quality of this phone is excellent. I tested the noise canceling on both subway train and airplanes. It was very effective to low frequency background noise reduction. The rides became much more pleasant with this phone. If you don't mind the look, this product is a very good headphone with noise canceling function.

Summary: Worked well - but only for a week - 2010-07-16
Comment: Item worked well initially, but after one week of use there was a constant static sound in the background, regardless whether or not the noise canceling was off or on. Hopefully the replacement will work better.

Summary: Noise-Canceling Hdphones 2010-06-24
Comment: Easy to travel with as they are more compact than my wifes Bose QCs. They don't cover your ear completely and maybe that is why the noise cancelling is not quite as good as the Bose. Works well and cut the jet noise down significantly. Comfortable and not too tight on the head.

Summary: Ultra-portable. Good value. But notable flaws. 2010-06-11
Comment: These are the only pair of noise canceling headphones I own. I use them daily on a noisy shuttle commute, and about once a month when I fly.
THE GOOD: Great value. Noise canceling works well. Foldable and small for transit. Don't look flashy (great for walking around the city at night).
THE OKAY: Not all that comfortable. Sound quality is just average.
THE BAD: Poor EM shielding: I hear a very loud "meep meep" from the iPhone's radio module. Also the little box withe the battery is awkwardly placed, and gets in the way quite often.
THE MISSING: I really wish I had a pause and volume control on the cord, like my iPhone earbuds.
THE VERDICT: Given the chance, I don't think I would buy them again. I would look for foldable headphones without a battery inline on the cord, and with better EM shielding.
