 One of the best headphones, period November 17, 2008
While I would not call myself an audiophile, I do appreciate a good sound system and a good pair of headphones- I have Sennheiser HD 570 for home, Sony MDR-G57 for workouts/walk in the rain, but always wanted a quality headphone that is portable yet blocks out the noise. A Shure E2C used to fill that niche until I broke it in an accident. Since then, I have been on the lookout for a brand new pair.
I tried the Bose On-Ear Headphone at a local Best Buy, liked it enough and thought about buying it- until I found out the cost. Hey, I said I like a good pair of headphones, but I am not gonna spend half of what I did for my iPod! I briefly considered Sennheiser PX100 but thought it looked too flimsy and was doubtful on its noise-cancelling ability. By chance I stumbled upon a review of ATH-ANC7, which praised its quality on par with Bose QC2/3 yet at half the cost. It was enough for me to go out and buy this one, plus with Amazon I got a good deal.
The Pros:
Noise-cancelling. Even without its active noise-cancelling function on, the closed design of the headphones muffles out a lot of the outside noise. I wear this from time to time while I work, and even with the music off, I can barely make it out when people are yelling at me! With the noise-cancelling on, some of the louder stuff, such as coffee grinder in the background, road construction is barely noticeable- and I don't like to crank up my music to the max.
Cord length. My HD 570 is a good pair of headphones, but its lengthy cord makes it unwieldy to carry around with my iPod. While the cord with this unit is a bit long, it's definitely manageable for carrying your audio player in the pocket.
Sound quality. Sound quality wise, this easily trumps the stock iPod earphones, MDR-G57, and definitely comparable to E2C or HD 570.
Comfort. I wear this around when I am out. It's big enough to be noticeable, but it's a slick pair, and I have great music, so who cares?
Construction: While not as sturdy as MDR-G57, this is a pair that is solid in its built. Great for casual listening, and with its included carrying case, I can see this lasting a long while.
Cons:
The sound quality varies when the active noise-cancelling is toggled on/off, and you definitely get a louder/clearer sound when it's on. You can still listen to it without the function on, but I prefer having it on obviously- just make sure you have a rechargeable AAA battery for every week or so.
I wouldn't consider my ears to be dumbo-sized- so if you have big ears, try them on, or consider other cans. My medium-sized ears gets warm after an hour or two, and if I don't position them right, it can be slightly uncomfortable. However, I still prefer this than the ear-rape sensation of E2c's.
If you dig bass, then look for earphones that you find comfortable. While serviceable, you won't get the booms you are looking for.
Great sound, Good comfort but Sound leakage November 17, 2008
Amazing noise cancelling, great sound quality but it's big problem is sound leakage. If it's not important issue ANC7 the best coice for you.
Noise reducing headphones November 17, 2008

A bit hissy at times, when your heads not facing exactly right(for the headphones). But even with the hiss, the sound is amazing, true bass and clean highs. My sleeping partner says "thanks" for her quiet.
