Audio-Technica ATHANC7 Noise Canceling Headphones Review

The Audio-Technica ATHANC7 Noise-canceling Headphones are by far the best I have tried, and they are much less money than the Bose noise canceling QC 2′s. I personally like the over-the-ear models, so I can’t really compare them to the QC 3′s.

The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 have a great sound overall and are extremely comfortable, more comfortable in my opinion than the QC 2′s. HOW COMFORTABLE? I actually take trips to Italy with my wife quite often (every few months) because she is from there. The last 3 trips I had the QC 2′s and used them for the entire flights. My ears where about to fall off after each of those flights, but I still liked the headphones of course…I had my QC 2′s stolen in Italy and had to come back and get something new, so I went with the Audio-Technicas…I didn’t want to spring for another 300 bucks!

I took another trip last month to Italy with the Audio-Technica ATHANC7 Noise-canceling Headphones and they absolutely ROCKED! The actual “noise canceling” part is much better with the Audio-Technicas. I didn’t have to turn up my iPod nearly as much this time and didn’t hear anything- no babies crying, nothing!

The comfort of the headphones themselves were incredibly comfortable too…like, much more comfortable. I had these on for a loooooong time on the flight to Italy and back also.

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Audio-Technica ATHANC7 Noise-canceling Headphones in place of buying the Bose noise-canceling headphones. You’ll save a lot of money and get a quality, comfortable set of headphones as well.

They come with a great carrying case, basically just like the Bose case I had. The sound is exceptional, maybe slightly weak in the bass range. But the overall sound quality is still very high. The headphones run on one AAA battery like the QC 2′s.
