I tend to agree, so I generally prefer my Aftershokz or my wire ear buds with no noise cancellation. I even have a old pair of Koss headphones which go over the ear but are open on the sides so as not to interfere with neighboring sound.

When I went into Bose, I was looking for a pair of bluetooth earbuds with no noise cancellation. I didn't find any and haven't really found any at all, except for maybe the Apple airpods, which I haven't checked out yet.

That being said, I can definitely see a use case for good noise canceling headphones. I use them myself when I'm trying to listen to something and the vacuum cleaner is running, or I'm on a plane or in a car with a lot of back ground noise. I'll also just pull them out when I want to listen to some good music without minimal interruptions.

cabin.

Just something to think about.

Bose has some pretty amazing noise canceling technology. I don't have a
pair of Bose headphones, but I'm fortunate enough to have a Bose outlet
store nearby. I tried a pair of ear buds, and I was amazed at how well
they canceled noise, including intermittent sounds like the salesmen or
my wife yelling at me. I don't know what model they were, but I'm sure
they were a pair of pretty high end ear buds.

Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations for some noise cancelling headphones to
use with my iPhone 6 plus.  I'm particularly intrested in headphones
that do well in dealing with intermittent noises such as dogs barking,
car horns and such.  I've never used so I don't know what  kind of
results to expect.

Thanks,

Dan

The nice thing about science is that it's true whether you believe in it
or not.
