Average Customer Review:
Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones reduce distracting background noise by 85% while offering the superior sound that makes Audio-Technica a world-leading pro audio company. Engineered to create a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient noise, these in-ear headphones feature a miniature microphone in each earpiece that picks up ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.). Electronics in the control box create a noise-cancelling wave that is 180 degrees out of phase with the ambient noise. This wave acts like a noise eraser: it cancels out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear. The result is a peaceful enclave to enjoy the music or movies of your choice. Wherever you happen to find yourself--on a busy subway, in a noisy office, or settling in for a long flight--there is no better way to experience audio or immerse yourself a quiet environment. Cancel out the annoying sounds that surround you without diminishing the audio you want to hear (black headphones pictured). Available in black and white. Click to enlarge. Includes detachable cable, airline adapter, carrying case, replaceable rubber tips, and battery (black headphones pictured). Click to enlarge. ATH-ANC3 Features

This review is from: Audio-Technica ATH ANC3WH NoiseCancel Earphone
I got these earphones very recently. I'm planning an airplane trip soon and want to block out the airplane noise. For now, I've used working around the house doing chores. They blocked out vacuum noise very well, and reduced crowd noise in a restaurant as well. They don't block out much noise with the noise cancelling off, even though they are in ear models. I have a very inexpensive set of earphones that do a better job of blocking out ambient noise better than the Audio Technicas do. However with the noise cancellation on, the ATs block out far more.
My biggest complaint is these plugs are very uncomfortable on my right ear. I'm sure it has more to do with my ear than the earphones, but they're uncomfortable nonetheless. I wore them for about two hours and didn't notice the pain until I took them out. OUCH! My right ear was KILLING me. I didn't pay attention to the alignment of the plugs in my ears, so it could also have also been how I put them in. I will be more careful in the future to make sure it isn't operator error. I can't imagine why only one ear hurt. ? At full retail, the pain would be unacceptable. At less than $65, it is bearable. = /
Lastly, with the inexpensive ear phones I mentioned before, I can listen to my mp3 player at very low volumes, about 10% - 20 of the max. They block out that much ambient noise. With the Audio Technica ear phones, I have the volume set right in the middle of the volume level. I would have hoped I could listen at lower levels than that. But the sound quality is much better than any other ear phones I have owned before.
All in all, these are a good buy. They cancel out noise and have good quality sound.
*****4/28/2009****UPDATE
I use these phones maybe two hours every week or so and I'm still using the original battery. I left them on for over 24 hours by accident. They were in a fairly quiet room with my MP3 player off, and the battery is still holding on. I'm pleasantly surprised by that fact.
*****5/9/2009 UPDATE*****
As I suspected...operator error. I was thinking of giving these away- they were hurting my right ear so much. They also caused a lot of static I didn't get with my Jbuds. But then I thought maybe the static I was hearing and the discomfort were caused by the same thing. This morning I replaced the silicone plugs with the LARGEST ones, and VOILA!! They blocked more ambient noise, I'm using at a lower volume and the pain went away. App...
