Obviously the big question is whether the noise cancelling works or not
and I'm glad to say that it not only works, but works superbly. I did a
little test in the office by standing underneath the air conditioning
unit - this is a particularly noisy bit of kit that produces a similar
kind of rumble to the engine noise in an aeroplane. Flicking the noise
cancelling switch on the HN-700s completely eradicated the noise,
cocooning you in an ambient noise free zone. I also tried them on a tube
train and although the bangs and clacks still broke through, the ambient
rumble was completely gone, allowing you to listen at a lower volume
level.
