EXCELLENT NOISE-CANCELLING CANS FOR THE PRICE!
I've been using these for 3 weeks and am loving them thus far. The noise-cancelling is very good; the audio quality is very good; the build quality is reliable thus far. Overall, I'd say these are excellent noise-cancelling headphones for the price. They can't compare to other noise-cancelling cans that are many times the price, but for 100 bucks, these are very good. Looking forward to using them on an airplane next month.

Muddy Sound
Noise cancelling headphones are often used by people in airplanes. Thus it should be compact, easy to use and of course, sound good. Case is too bulky, headphones need to fold flat or be collapsible, but worst of all, the sound is muddy.

Waste of money, except for noise cancelling feature
Poorly engineered product; Starting with the difficult zippering of the hard case, large size for traveling, short flimsy 1 meter cord (It is easily replaceable, a plus), sound quality is way below the Sony it was meant to replace. The on/off switch is difficult to snap. The noise cancelling feature works great though. Not worth sending back(for me) I will avoid audio technica products except for a brick & mortar store. Sorry I bought it.

Very good headphones at a great price
I purchased these headphones for my son in college. He finds that the noise cancelling feature allows him to study undisturbed by the noise associated with dorm life. In addition, they are very comfortable and great sounding when listening to music.

Excellent for usage on a plane
I bought the QuitePoint headphones for my parents who travel a lot more. The headphones work great on a plane: cutting out engine noise, screaming babies, etc.
The best part is my parents are not damaging their ears by blasting the volume up loud enough to hear a movie or what not. Makes long flights more tolerable.

Great deal!
Use them a lot. Noise canceling works, not 100% on an airplane but they are not $400 headphones. For the price they are great & I love the case. Use them at work & when I travel. Drown out background noise & help me concentrate writing reports. Comfortable and great sound quality.

Answer:Â
Technically, the ATH-ANC27 noise cancelling headphones are not wireless, however the noise cancelling will still work without the cord. The noise cancelling electronics are powered by a AAA battery which resides in the ear cup. This means that the detachable cord can be removed and you will still experience the noise cancelling feature. In a truly wireless device the audio would work without the cord, but in this case you still need the cord to experience audio from your music device.Experience:Â Pro

When I plug my AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-ANC27 Noise-Canceling Headphones into my Kindle Fire, the headphones do not work, I have to pull the plug partially out of the device to get sound through the headphones. Other headphones work without issue. How do I fix this problem, is the cord defective?

I want to thank Audio Technica for providing me additional information about the plug, After their comments, I checked and noted that the plug going into the headphone was not fully seated. This was causing my problem. By fully attaching the plug the issue was resolved.It was not a quality issue and I am now happily enjoying my new headphones.
