I specifically purchase noise cancelling headphones / earbuds now since it makes it easy to listen at MUCH quieter levels. I have done some tests with the noise cancelling disabled and setting the volume and with it on.. It really makes a huge difference as I am not cranking it up to drowned out noise on transit or walking down the street.

    Came here say this. Absolutely agree. Being able to reduce background noise is huge.

    As a side point - having a car that's quiet has really allowed me to enjoy music at a much more reasonable level when driving as well.

    I bought some Sony XM4s because I'd heard this theory before but I found noise cancelling barely makes a difference.

    The overear headphones. The ANC just made no difference.

    Odd I have tested them in stores before and they are typically well rated.

    However I was using Bose QC II for a few years and now I use the apple air pod pros.

    For in ear seal is really important for nose canceling and apple also provides a test mode / app on apple devices to test that sound isn’t leaking substantially.

    Makes no difference in a quiet environment but will easily cancel out a loud air conditioner or most traffic noise from passing cars.
