原文: On my search for an active noise cancelling headphone, I have tried: Bose QC3, Bose QC15, Sennheiser PXC 450, AKG K495, Audio Technica ATH-ANC27, Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b, and Audio Technica ATH-ANC9. Out of all the above here are some of my opinions. Please note that I am not even anywhere close
to being an expert in this field but I really enjoy listening to music of all kinds.
Bose QC3 and QC15: Best noise cancelling technology as you will read on just about every review. The QC15 was especially comfortable and lightweight but both felt cheaply made and seems like they may break easy. The other reason I didn't keep them was I would do a sound test (low volume, then do a max volume) using different kinds of music (electronica, classical, rap, techno, instrumental, acapella, jazz, etc.). Both of them failed on the bass when turned to max, became very distorted and ugly, like broken speakers.
Sennheiser PXC 450: was my favorite as I love the features (mute to talk to people around you, very very very comfortable). I may have received a defective one because with the noise cancelling feature on, it distorts the bass on high volumes, with it off, everything sounds perfect. Nice that it also folds flat in a thin case. Returned because why would I buy a noise cancelling headphone and not use that feature. Also, I tried it inside bus/train/car and when I talk while the music is off but the NC feature on, it does a "motorboating" sound.
AKG K495: The best sounding one and loudest one also. Super cool design with the headphones folding flat, rechargeable battery through USB, cool way to turn on NC (by twisting the headset), and SOUNDS AWESOME! Why didn't I keep it.... it HURTS my ears after 15-20 min. It's an on-the-ear type so it rests on your ear. They said it will get comfortable over time but I tried it everyday for 3 weeks and it didn't feel better. The material is comfortable to the touch but I couldn't get over the pain.
Audio-Technica ANC27, ANC7b, ANC9: Sound-wise, ANC9 blows all of them away. Much better than the 27, better than the 7b. Comfort wise, I can sleep with this on - super soft memory foam around your ears. Nice 3 way NC feature although I almost always use 1st and 2nd settings. ANC9 does not distort on high volumes even on the bass (there's a bass tester on YouTube). Sound is clearer with NC on than off. I love the feature of being able to still use it with the batteries dead unlike the Bose. I normally use it on a train ride but also used it for a flight from SF to NY. Peacefully quiet. You'll still hear a faint distant engine hum but if you take it off, you will see how loud that hum really is! No wonder NC headphones are so popular with the folks that fly often.
My only complaint is I am probably one of the very few unlucky ones who got a bad unit. After exactly 40 days, the left side started to have this slight distorted, motorboating sound. If I shake my head, I can hear clicking on the left ear. With bass heavy music, the left ear gets this slight, but still annoying, distortion. Right side is perfect. The nice folks I bought it from couldn't help me on the return due to it being over 30 days. Too bad and just my luck but I understand. I contacted Audio Technica and this is the best part. You call the number, and a live person answers. She gave me directions on how to send it back (I have to pay for shipping). I called them after a few days they confirmed receipt (live person again!) and said that they already sent me a brand new replacement. Audio Technica's service is great!! They really do back up their products and just made me look for more AT products in the future.
Sorry about the long review but I hope this helps you on your decision. I know my family was going nuts on seeing me with a new headphone almost every week during my search.

在寻找有源噪声消除耳机时,我尝试过:Bose QC3、Bose QC15、Sennheiser PXC 450、AKG K495、Audioca ATHANC27、Audioca ATHANC7b和Audioca ATHANC9。以下都是我个人的观点。请注意,我不是耳机方面的专家,但我真的很喜欢听各种音乐。BOSE QC3和QC15:有最好的噪声消除技术,正像你仔细阅读每一条评论一样。QC15特别舒适,重量轻,比较便宜,但是容易摔坏。我没有保留它们的另一个原因是,我会用不同的音乐(电子音乐、古典音乐、说唱音乐、技术音乐、器乐、无伴奏音乐、爵士乐等)进行声音测试(低音量,然后进行最大音量)。他们俩在低音时都失败了,变成了Max,变得非常扭曲和丑陋,就像失声的说话者一样。森海塞尔PXC 450:我最喜欢的耳机,功能很棒(静音与周围的人交谈,非常非常非常舒适)。我可能收到了一个有缺陷的,因为随着噪声消除功能的开启,它在高音量下使低音失真,关闭它,一切听起来都很完美。同时,它也非常便携,可折叠,一个细长的盒子就能装下它。话说回来,我为什么要买一个无法消除噪音的噪音耳机。还有,我在公共汽车火车汽车里试过,当我说话时,音乐关了,但数控功能打开,它发出“摩托艇”的声音。爱科技K495:音质最好也是最响亮的一个。超酷的设计,耳机折叠平面,通过USB充电电池,炫酷因为的方式打开数控(扭转耳机),非常棒!为什么我不保留它…它在1520分钟后会刺痛我的耳朵。它是挂耳式,所以它停留在你的耳朵上。他们说,随着时间的推移,它会变得舒适,但我尝试了它每天3个星期,并没有感觉更好。这种材料摸起来很舒服,但我无法克服疼痛。音频技术ANC27,ANC7B,ANC9:声控的,ANC9完爆前两个。比27更好,比7B好。舒适,我睡觉都可以戴着它,超级软的记忆泡沫包裹着你的耳朵,非常舒适。尼斯3路数控功能,虽然我几乎总是使用第一和第二设置。即使在低音(在YouTube上有低音测试仪),ANC9也不会对高音量产生失真。声音比NC更清晰。我喜欢的特点是仍然能够使用它与电池死亡不像玻色。我通常在火车上使用它,但也用它从SF到NY的航班。非常安静。你仍然会听到远处微弱的发动机嗡嗡声,但如果你把它关掉,你会看到嗡嗡声是多么响亮!难怪NC耳机在经常飞行的人中很受欢迎。但是我可能很倒霉。因为整整40天之后,耳机左侧开始有轻微扭曲的摩托车声。如果我摇摇头,我能听到左耳的喀喀声。低音沉重的音乐,左耳得到这个轻微的,但仍然恼人,扭曲。右边是完美的。我买来的好东西,因为超过30天就不能帮我了。太可惜了,算我倒霉。我联系了音频技术人员。我拨打电话,一个工作人员会接通。她告诉我如何退货(我必须付运费)。我打电话给他们几天后他们确认收到(人工服务)并说他们已经给我寄来一个全新的替代品。音频技术的服务是伟大的!他们真的备份他们的产品,只是让我在未来寻找更多的产品。抱品,评论很长,但我希望这能帮助你做出决定。我知道我的家人在我的测试期间几乎每周都会看到我戴着一个新耳机。
