"Wonderful headphones at a solid price."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
First off, I bought a pair elsewhere, and the price was more expensive, so zZounds is where it is at.
Simply put, these headphones are wonderful. Trebles, Mids, and Lows are all clear. Bass has a decent thump, but it stays true to the mix, rather than Beats by Dre's choice of cranking bass up.
The noise cancelling is wonderful. You could go to a football game and hear nothing. Personally, I enjoy fact that I don't need to crank the volume up much. This saves my ears a bit of trouble.
The battery life is really great on the noise cancelling, two rechargeable batteries = no worries.
The earpad things are awkward at first, as well as the noise cancelling, but once you get used to them, you will hate going with out it. A learning curve per se.
These headphones are really good. Bose's line of acoustic headphones are a bit better, but they cost twice as much. These have more "bang for your buck."
If you want exaggerated bass, look at bose or Beats as these may not be for you, though I'd still recommend them even then.

"BEST HEADPHONES"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered the Headphones for the office to drown out the typical office chatter. They worked wonderful. The music is so good through them also, just as the reviews write, as good or better than Bose. I even took them to the range and they were better then any noise canceling headphones I used before. And ZZounds price can't be beat and their shipping very fast. I plan on buying some as gifts. Thank you ZZounds.com

"Exceeded My Expectations!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'll keep these until they wear-out, then I'll replace them with a second pair.
Sound
I bought these to keep my kids from interfering with my online studies. Since then, I've taken them to work where, with an mp3 player, I cannot hear 20mph winds and misc. noises. These are great for working outside as long as you don't need to hear things around you. Whether I listen to Chicago or to the Zutons, the reproduction is excellent. It takes a bit to get used to the noise cancelling feature as it really gets quiet, kinda like your ears aren't working, lol. I'll be buying a second pair.
Features
These come with a great hard case, plenty of plug adapters, and the case has a storage pocket big enough for a spare battery or two.
Ease of Use
Plug it in, turn it on, enjoy!
Quality
These have a solid 'feel' to them. I don't have to worry that I'm going to easily break them.
Value
I listened to the first Bose noise cancelling headphones many years ago at an airport demonstration booth. These are every bit as good, if not better.
The Wow Factor
Everybody who sees them, wants to hear them. And as soon as they hear them, they want a pair.

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b Customer Review
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Wonderful sound. Noise canceling not quite equal to Bose, but an excellent value for the money. I could barely hear outside noise on recent airplane flight. I would recommend these headphones.
Features
Noise canceling not 100 percent, but perhaps 90.
Quality
Seems well-made, carrying case very nice.

"Great quality and price"
Verified Customer

I love the Audio- Technica headphones. They are comfortable, a good price and I'd compare them to Bose! I could tell no discernible difference in the noise canceling or sound quality. To me, The only difference is price! Headphones come with a padded case, adapter cords and battery.

Verified Customer

I have the Bose Noise Comfort headphones. I bought the audio-technica as a cheaper alternative. The noise canceling, the sound, is not as good as with the Bose. However as they are $200 cheaper they are an excellent alternative.

"Pleasing Purchase"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Damps external sound impressively. The lawn mover is a background murmur. Appreciate the feature of sound passing through with the power off as with passive headphones. Like the connectors and cables which allow various hook ups. As expected with over the ear cupped style my ears get hot. Not too bad for an hour or short on periods.

"AT Noise Canceling Head phones"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Great, Except for the screaming baby next row up and the barking dog from Orlando to LAX. They did as well as could be expected but had to turn volume boost up . I also brought a Vic Firth set of cans that blocked out everything at half the cost. Down side is Bulk and weight. If you can deal with it, Get Them.

"AT Noise Canceling phones are a miracle!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
These have good overall frequency response as a pair of listening headphones, but they really shine when the noise canceling feature is turned on. They truly cut outside noise tremendously well, and the music is fuller sounding for it. AT makes many great pairs of headphones and these are a good choice among many.
