QUESTION · TUESDAY FOCUS

How is the sound rejection and noise cancellation? Is there active noise cancellation on these, or are they just relying on the fact that it's a closed headphone?

THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Brian Fisher

There is no active noise cancellation; isolation comes purely from the closed-back headphone design, which blocks external sound without electronic cancellation.
