Audio Technica Quiet Point Noise Canceling Headphones

[EditorAwesome]

How good is the noise cancelling do you reckon it compares with sennheisers pxc 350?

[SynisterPRC]

@EditorAwesome Im not familiar with the Sennheisers. i can say though that the noise canceling does a very good job of blocking out background noise (washing machines, airplane noise, road noise, etc). Additionally, the noise canceling technology incorporates an audio amplifier so when noise canceling is on, the music is a little louder and also clearer/crisper. The price to performance ratio on these is ridiculous; 3 years later I am still impressed at the quality of sound and performance.

@SynisterPRC

Cheers! Just out of curiosity I found similar headphone but cheaper that can noise cancel 20 dB they're called the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b. Do you know anything about these and if they compete with the sennheiser you are reviewing? Thanks a heap

[CasualMontage]

Great Review! I plan to buy a pair cost efficient. I just have one request make a signoff that sets you apart font just turn off the camera its your choice, but again bravo.

[Dedodido]

Great review, just ordered a pair for myself.

[zkyb0y]

does it leak sound?

[SmackThatWhat]

@zkyb0y sound will obviously leak if you turn up the volume

[Cooper1970]

Thanks a million for your review.  You have helped me make my decision.

[hawaiianbr]

I am an airline crew member.... great video and it helped a lot

[samthepoor]

if your professional, you require professional equipment, these arent entirely professional, but pretty damn good for the price!

[eevilangelo]

I have'm and i agree! great review!

[iljc82]

does anyone know if the ANC can cancel out construction noise? (drilling for the most part)

[samthepoor]

NC does not cancel random noises like conversation, and drilling isnt a constant enough noise for the circuitry to identify, if you get my meaning like for the circuitry to remain efficient, it cannot constantly record and gnereate a negative phase of it it will do so only when a constant noise is found, and monitoring is set to more far apart intervals

manufacturers tweak variables and materials used

by the way, all of the above is just observations made from two pairs of dismantled ANC sets

hey i donno if i should get Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 Noise Cancelling Headphones or sony MDR NC60 Plz help me

[eqm1]

Great review, thank you for the info.

[drewishking]

bought tonight from amazon. tooooo excited.

[divinemercyguy]

You are a great speaker lol. You seemed casual enough to be likeable, but you were fluid enough to have been reading off of a script.

Awesome review, im buying them!

[tnsandland]

Err, what's your point?!?!?

[raider2121]

pt is he's hitting on him n giving him the hint

[dipic7]

It's called a "compliment".

[popl222]

I got these :). They are comfortable and sound great.

[trailcarver3018]

very nice review. concise and informative and dense with info. didn't spend entire time talking about obvious appearance issues like the other review on youtube.

[derbyshark]

I wonder if the U.S. military uses audio technicas for its torture programs of sensory deprivation. I've seen a photo of all the people who got kidnapped at Guantanamo Bay kneeling on the ground and they are blindfolded in plastic clothes and have some sort of headphones on.

[misfire99]

I think they should drown all the rag heads at gitmo. Why waste time torturing them when there are so many fools like you here we can torture. I think we should round up all scum bags like you and make soylent green out of you. Then you would be worth something.

[derbyshark]

"I think they should drown all the rag heads at gitmo."

Thanks for sharing?

lol...nice 1970s movie reference. It really shows your age. Take your AARP card and shove it up your filthy, rotting ass.

[PFLY123]

Great video. I'm thinking of using these for DJing purposes as well as flights, etc. Do the earpieces rotate like typical studio monitor headphones do? Thanks!

[mao12345]

I have a question. I always wear out the cords on my headphones so when I ordered a pair of ANC7, I was excited that it has an easily replaceable detachable cord. However, I went to the audio-technica website and couldn't find where they sold separate/replacement cords. I'm certain that eventually, in a year or 2 I'll need one. Do you know where I can get extra cords?

[SynisterPRC]

There isnt anything special about the cord, its just a 6ft long cable with 3.5mm mini AV connectors on the ends. You can find these pretty much anywhere, radio shack, best buy, circuit city, etc.

[mao12345]

Awesome thanks!

[amardeep33]

I've read about there being sound leakage in the ones that have been recently produced. Can your roommates/other people hear your music when you are playing it without the noise canceling feature on?

[SynisterPRC]

Yes, there is sound leakage at moderate to high volume even with noise canceling turned on. If you want to play your music loud people around will be able to hear if it is quiet.

[amardeep33]

Thanks. I still bought them even though I am using them primarily in the subway and such. Great review!

[tjong09]

that was a good review.

So it only uses one AAA Battery?

[SynisterPRC]

yes, 1 AAA battery gives about 40 hours of noise cancelling

[python2004]

I've been considering these headphones and really appreciate your review, thanks :)! It's also good to know they look good on, I was worried they'd be a bit bulky but they look fine.

[python2004]

I'm considering these headphones and really appreciate your review, thanks :) Especially being able to see them on, I was worried they'd be a bit bulky but they look fine.
