Manufacturer's Description
Noise Cancelling, the smart way.
With excellent sound quality and first class active noise-cancelling, these earphones enable you to enjoy your music on the move without having to raise the volume in noisy places such as the tube, trains, buses and airplanes. These earphones are equipped with a microphone that picks up ambient noise and shuts out up to 90%. A handy "monitor" button temporarily turns off the noise-cancelling effect to enable you to hear your surroundings when needed and the bullet type ear chip further reduces external noise. 1 AAA battery (which is included) is enough for up to 120 hours of noise-cancelling playback. If you can't replace your battery right away or don't need to cancel noise, you can turn off the function and use the SE-NC31C as regular headphones.

These are great quality headphones. The sound is deep and rich and really clear. I've heard things on favourite tracks that I'd never heard before - they're that good! The noise cancelling is great and works surprisingly well. You can happily block out the background noise on a busy ferry and the sound of a TV in the same room. Overall, I would highly recommend these to anyone.

Just arrived today so this is a first impression review,
I must say I was sceptical but needed a new pair of headphones, my old Sony in ears were great but finally packed in after about 6 years of fine use, I replaced them with a newer pair of Sony in ears I had kicking about and they sucked big time worst sound I've ever dealt with. So that and the fact I'm currently doing a lot of noisy tube traveling so thought what the hell... lets go for noise cancelling.
Initial impressions, looking (or should that be sounding) good I've tested them along side my kettle and extractor fan in the bath room with good sound reduction results.
The sound quality is in my opinion great good balance of bass mid and treble. no complaints, if anything really really happy.
I was concerned that the battery pack would be a pain, hanging on the neckline of my top, but it is low enough down to either clip on my belt or tuck into the little belt bag I use to carry my ipod.
I was also concerned about the fit, no problems, don't feel heavy or unusual in any way, (I guess this is a very personal thing)
I'll try the tube tomorrow and give an update.
UPDATE: Great, work a treat, on bus train and tube, its made the tubes feel refined, I found myself listening with no music, just enjoying the quiet levels. its even brought down to tube announcements level to a nice chilled volume.
Practicality... great not too heavy, seems to stay in my ears really well. all round great.
No banging noises being picked up by mics down the wires, like I have read about on some other headphones.
I reckon the tube engine noise is almost completely wiped out like 80% some other engine noises are more like 50% wiped out which is still amazing.
very happy with purchase.
update#2 18th mar 2012
still happy, had a battery change, but suprised how long they've lasted. nothing negative to report.
I'm noticing things in tracks Ive never heard so clear before, especially bass lines.
smiles all round so far.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought these after my second set of Sony noise cancelling earphones broke. They are not perfect but do the job of cancelling ambient noise well enough to listen to music or spoken word in heavy traffic. Which was what I wanted. I no longer have to try to pump up the volume on the tube. I did not notice any hiss from the noise cancelling. The battery box is similar in size to the Sony and has a clip to fix to clothing. This reduced the likelihood to the buds falling out. The battery lasts longer than the Sony set, and has an added monitor button that lets you mute the earphones to talk or listen, then release it to continue.

Might as well have speakers in the room!
My last two sets of earphones have been Shure sound isolating SE210s, which were great but both failed with the same fault (reduced volume in one ear) just outside the two year... Read more
