    @Thymonico Probably fluctuation based on input from the background.

    @GypsySTONNER

    If your ears were hearing all that noise, you would know it. You’re right that there’s a lot of energy that needs to go somewhere, but that energy is absorbed by the sources of sound themselves (they heat up ever so slightly). Unintuitive, but that’s where it goes.

    In want to block out all sound even people talking

  7. feAr636 on May 22, 2020 at 4:17 pm

    What the hell, I checked the prices on the Panasonic & Audio-Technicas, and they are at least DOUBLE the price he claims them to be in the video…

  8. Jisoo Song on May 22, 2020 at 4:20 pm

  14. adamwest456 on May 22, 2020 at 4:31 pm

    I thought the same thing until I actually got a pair of noise canceling headphones… the difference is astounding.

  15. Gerlene Arteta on May 22, 2020 at 4:36 pm

  21. StephenSpielberg on May 22, 2020 at 4:41 pm

    Liked and faved just for the headphone sphere scene
    As for which is best- I love my anc7b’s, lookin forwards to getting my anc9!

  29. Timo Timo on May 22, 2020 at 4:47 pm

    Holy cow!

    That’s some amazing and presise technology!

    But how do they get these reverse-polarity soundwaves to be in constant antiphase with the ambient soundwaves?

  30. Boba Tea on May 22, 2020 at 4:47 pm

    Ikr

  31. Abhijeet Adhalikar on May 22, 2020 at 4:48 pm

    LOL!!!!

  32. Janeshcw on May 22, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    he should have reviewed the Sennheiser PXC-350 they are the best NC headphones on the market hands down!

  33. Matt Marvin on May 22, 2020 at 4:52 pm

    Beats by Dre = best bass

    Audiotechnica = best noise canceling

  34. Greg Cannon on May 22, 2020 at 4:54 pm

    @Beatboxer1964 that’s 12 comments in a row… wanna stop?

  35. edcjunkie on May 22, 2020 at 4:59 pm

    @Janeshcw yea, no they’re not. the senn’s are good but they’re bulky and heavy like a brick. not good for travel. i own a pair of 450s and the bose qc15. i like them both but i leave my 450s at home for the same reason ^.

  36. varun009 on May 22, 2020 at 5:00 pm

    noise reduction just isolates your ear from other noises while noise cancellation has an electronic part to it

  37. varun009 on May 22, 2020 at 5:04 pm

    it works but it reduces noise it doesn’t cancell it

  38. fernando ferguson on May 22, 2020 at 5:04 pm

    :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
