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.

Pretty Great! September 5, 2010
S. Lloyd (USA)
I really enjoy wearing these headphones. They are super soft and comfortable. I'm a small person and I have really small ears, so it's nice to have a pair of headphones that fit me so well. (However, they're adjustable so I assume they work well for larger people).
I'm a musician, so I know what sounds good and what doesn't. I can safely say that the sound on these is really good.
The only thing that I don't love is that the noise cancelling ability of these headphones is diminished by the size of the earphones. Even on my small ears, they go on top of the ear, not around the ear. So that means sound leaks in. I ride the NY subway and the train each day, and I still hear the ambient noise. HOWEVER, having said that, the noise cancelling mechanism is very good on the headphones, and works quite nicely. The limiting factor is only the size of the earphones. It makes sense.
The other thing that is great is the design of the earphones and the case. First, the leather used is super soft and cushy - on both the earpieces and the case. Luscious! Also, the headphones fold up in a really awesome way and save lots of space. GREAT for traveling. I put them in my handbag (which is relatively small) and carry them around everywhere. Also, the inside of the case has a little velcro pouch so that you can store the little airplane attachment in there without worrying about it falling out. Super smart design team!!!
 These headphones are amazing.... August 1, 2010

UPDATE#2 8/7/10: I got the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones. They are way better then these.
UPDATE: I need to get new headphones. These are not comfortable enough to ware for an hour.
1. Good sound quality
2. Good noise cancelling
3. Not as comfortable is I would like them to be
I'm sitting in a noisy coffee shop as I write this review. The noise cancelling seems to get rid of the low frequency sounds the most. I can still hear people talking but it's much better then it would be without noise cancelling.
The only downside to them is comfort. After an hour of waring them I have to take them off. It's kind of down hill from there. Gotta rest my ears a bit. When it comes to comfort I've never had good luck with on the ear headphones. You might have a different experience. This is the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars.
They also make earbuds that have a good rating on Amazon. There cheaper too. I might give those a try at some point.
 Just as good as Bose! July 21, 2010

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!
Good product but..... July 19, 2010

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.
 Worked well - but only for a week - July 16, 2010

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.
