Disclosure: I have tried all these on an airplane. I am not an audiophile. Noise Cancelation is the most important attribute to me. The Carrying Case: All three are quite durable and stiff. 1.) Bose- the smallest, a low profile, room for an Ipod, accessories too. 2.) Sennheiser- Square shape, low profile, however not a lot of room for anything else in case. 3.) Audio Technica- Nice big case if you want to carry extra stuff (Nintendo DS, ipod, etc). Build Quality: 1.) Sennheiser- you can tell this is built VERY well. Strong plastics, good components, thick cord. Top notch. You feel like you are getting something really high quality. 2.) Audio Technica- Nice solid construction, appears durable. 3.) Bose- If this had a Sanyo logo on the side, I would not have flinched. How can something $300 be so incredibly cheaply made...Read more 185 of 190 people found the following review helpful: By A Texan (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B Active Noise-Cancelling Closed-Back Headphones (Electronics) I've been toying with the idea of getting a set of active noise canceling headphones for a while. Both my wife and I are having to fly more for our jobs, so I can certainly justify this expense. While I hadn't directly tested anything else, I've read reviews both at Amazon and other places for a number of different headphones. The predecessor to these, Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones generally scored well in the reviews, and seemed favored even over the venerable BOSE Quiet Comfort models, the several low rated reviews about sound leakage gave me pause.
Seeing these supposedly new and improved versions recently come to market, I decided to take a chance with the hope that this one negative would be fixed for what is otherwise an excellent product. I've not been exposed to the...Read more 395 of 424 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B Active Noise-Cancelling Closed-Back Headphones (Electronics) ***Note: Update given at bottom of review***
The details of the review are given below, but I decided to write a short summary for people just interested in the overall message from this review. Summary: The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b Active Noise Canceling Headphones are well made and come with nice accessories. The noise canceling feature works very well, however the significant sound leakage of these headphones makes them unusable in an office/coffee shop setting. The headphones also have much poorer sound quality than I was expecting for headphones in this price range. I would strongly encourage potential buyers to really consider whether or not they can tolerate very significant sound leakage (i.e. do you care if everyone around you at work is listening to what you are listening to?). More details and explanations below. More Detailed Review: After a few weeks of research about Noise Cancelling headphones on the internet I finally...Read more |
