Eliminates Up To 75% Of Unwanted Noise
SCOSCHE HP6NC NOISE CANCELING EARBUDS
This review is from: Scosche HP6NC Active Noise Cancelling Ear Buds
The earpiece is comfortable, but the noise canceling feature cannot compete with a Bose headset. I have travelled on a Super 80 and B-767 and 757 (6 voyages) in all since the purchase within a 2-month period, and the sound clarity is great; but qualifying the Scosche as noise canceling instead of noise reduction is borderline....

The "active noise cancellation" feature works reasonably well for certain sound frequencies. I recently had the opportunity to use them on an airplane and can report that they make a noticeable difference by practically eliminating the higher-pitched "whine" part of the jet engine noise. (The lower "hum" is still there, but it is less bothersome than the other). They come with airplane adaptor. I also use them for part of the time simply to muffle the plane noise, by turning on the noise cancellation unit but without playing music. I also have found that it reduces road noise went in and not a mobile.
The sound quality is fine overall, though perhaps a bit muddy. Having a separate volume control on the electronics unit (located in the middle of the cord) is a nice feature. The earbuds continue to function even if the noise cancellation battery is dead--or removed (which means it can serve as a backup battery). At least on my MP3 player, when the electronics unit battery got weak the music started sounding like a skipping CD. One last thing. The cord is VERY long (and therefore, prone to bad tangles!). Its one major flaw...at this price, they should have added a tangle-resisting covering....

I bought these based on an ad saying they'd stay in your ears better than others. Not the case, regardless of which bud size I tried. Any light tug and they pop out just like any other buds. Controller is a bit bulky. Since the device works with the controller off, it should be detachable. I fly rarely so I have not tried the airplane noise cancellation features. The sound is good, but these were certainly never worth $80 (list); not sure I'd pay $35 either.

Here's an update from a few weeks later: I tried these on a plane and in other white-noisy locations. I must say the noise cancellation feature does work pretty well. I decided to keep them for that reason - ECB.
-----
Update 2: On further use, I think these buds do stay in the ear just a little better than other buds, but not a big difference.

The same sad ending: Somehow I must have bent or folded the headphone wire too hard or too many times somewhere and the circuit now breaks up in one channel, rendering them mostly useless. Shame, as the noise cancellation does work. With any headphones, the wire is almost always the weakest link. That is why I am always hesitant to spring for any expensive buds; I groan at spending $25 as it is. And the user IS the always one who bent & broke it. So I can't fairly mark this against the manufacturer.
Try 'em out if you want decent white-noise cancellation, can handle the little extra bulk & effort, and don't mind the risk of loss due to wire breaks....
