 Awsome November 28, 2008
These headphones are awsome.
Cuts noise amazingly, and can be worn from Chicago to London without taking off, in complete comfort.
These are my second pair. Very good, and well worth the money!
Excellent value vs. Bose November 26, 2008

These headphones are a close second to the Bose noise cancelling headphones and, for the money, a better buy. In fact, I prefer these to the Bose because the Bose, while effective, gave me a weird "stuffy head" sensation whereas the AudioTechnica do not.
I have recently used them on a commercial flight and they allowed me to listen to soft music easily. I also listened to several podcasts that I heard clearly (no small feat given my partial hearing loss!). I also use them daily during a 45 minute commute to work in a van pool.
These phones are as comfortable as any I have tried and seem very well constructed.
Note: While these headphones function in the non-sound cancelling mode, the quality of sound is definitely superior with sound cancelling turned on. The cable is detachable if you just want quiet and they come with a nice case and accessories.
Great product!
 Good Active Phones, But I Prefer Isolation Phones November 25, 2008
Simply stated, the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 are the best active noise cancelling headphones I've tried/owned on a durability and a "bang for the buck" basis. In my opinion, they sound about as good as the Bose headphones I've tried and seem to be about as well constructed. They do not hiss like the Sony active phones I've owned. They have proved to be far more durable than the two pairs of Phillips I've owned, broken, and discarded. Bottom line: the Audio Technica phones reproduce music accurately and do a good job attenuating...but not eliminating...ambient noise.
This said, I prefer my passive Vic Firth isolation headphones (the black ones that play music, not the blue ones that simply block noise) and my Direct Sound Extreme Isolation headphones. Why? Isolation phones, primarily used by musicians in high-decibel situations, are far less expensive, sound about as good, block more noise than any active phones I've tried, and are virtually bullet-proof (go ahead and drop them...or throw them).
These headphones are absolutely the best November 23, 2008
So far I had these headphones for a month and they are still good. Better than those Bose headphones, way cheaper, and the most sturdy looking headphones i've ever had had. Another feature I like the most is the detachable wire because every time I buy headphones they end up breaking because of a faulty wire so i know that these headphones will stay with me for life. The clarity of these headphones are the best. You can hear every detail of the song even when you put the volume down. Also they come with a year warranty which is better than any other headphones.
A note about their fit... November 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The sound on these headphones is fantastic. Everything about them is fantastic, as far as I'm concerned. There have been plenty (hundreds) of reviews thus far saying how great they are, and they're right!
So instead of discussing the sound, I'll clear up a little disagreement about the fit of these headphones. A few people have said that they're uncomfortable, or that they crush their ears, but I think those people are wearing them wrong.... I have pretty big ears, so if the cups were too small, I'm pretty sure they'd hurt my ears too. But I discovered that the way you put them on makes a big difference.
If you just put them straight onto your head, the cups will push on your ears a bit, and I can see how that would become uncomfortable after a while. But if you sort of shimmy them back and forth a little onto your ears when you put them on, so that the outer cartilage parts of your ears go INTO the cups, this will make for a MUCH more comfortable fit.
I love these headphones, and I'm sure you will too. Hope this helps!
