Audio-Technica QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones

After being disappointed with the build quality of my previous ANC headphones (company and brand not important), I put in some solid research into a replacement ANC headset and the ATH-ANC9 ticked all the boxes for me in specifications and other reviews. My ATH-ANC9's arrived this morning and I have spent the day extremely happy and being in my own noise cancelled world, listening to a wide variety of music. The packaging was nice, came with all the required accessories, being able to select different levels of ANC is also quite useful. These headphones are exactly what I wanted. The only improvement I can think of is possibly better cables, for the price the cables don't feel all that durable, however no major drama as they are not hard wired so I can simply order more durable replacement cables if needed. Love your work Audio Technica, keep doing what you do best.

They are comfortable, sound great and look nice. After a couple of months of use the active cancelling started acting up. Now I have a low rumbling/vibrating driver on the left side of the set. This only happens when the NC switch is on but I use the noise cancelling all the time meaning that it happens often. This is very annoying specially when tilting my head to my right side, this makes the rumbling/vibration even more pronounced. I will be contacting the service center to see if this can be fixed but this shouldn't happen at all. Reading the other reviews I noticed that others are experiencing the same issue.

I was excited about this product and got a fantastic deal of the major online retailer but pair I purchased developed a faint high pitched squeal which I tried to ignore but gave up and returned them, I asked for a replacement pair bc I loved them so much, minus the issue, but of course the second pair not only had that high pitched squeal but also had an additional problem, the noise cancelling was not even in both ears, and I could really feel it, I could notice the difference and couldn't handle it. Please AT fix these issues. My previous pair ant-anc7b was fairly good pair, my cord got damaged and my ear cups leatherette covering the foam came apart at the glue, which I stitched together.

Bought this headphones for noise cancelation. Noise cancelation stopped working after a month of use. Right side always got a annoying rumbling sound. Sound quality is great. Useless headphones though. I would not recommend buying these. One star because it failed at its main purpose. Lot of people having the same issues

The quality of sound speak for himself. I have tried Beats By Dre and Bose, but the best combination of precise sound and huge noise canceling is present in ATH-ANC9. They still working after battery runs out (but without noise canceling, of course) and the control cable shipped with product works both with my Nexus 4 android phone and my Ipod / Ipad. Battery life is about 15h with rechargeable NiMh.Awesome.
