They are the first I buy with noise cancellation; it makes a huge difference in an airplane. The cushioning alone maintains out a good part of the noise; then power them up and another big portion goes out. But it causes my ears to itch in summer at least, and the soft rubber degrades. I now use them to watch the telly at the sitting room. I have there a cheap portable AC machine which roars. I have to push the TV volume almost all the way up, and I miss what they say when they speak softly. So those earphones make a tremendous difference. The TV set is new (LG) and has bluetooth. -- Cheers, Carlos.
