This device is supposed to have noise cancellation. Just as described, Apple MFi certified and works with all my iPhone/iPad devices. All the components are solid and feel like a quality product. I purchased these headphones for my 6 year old son, after purchasing several others that were too cheaply made for my comfort. So, my brother bought a more up to date Samsung smartphone and then a couple of months later he bought himself some over the ear headphones from a well known brand. The equalizer is what makes this stand out from the default JBL in this category. Upon opening this product I was just thrilled ?? by first of all what I saw! Absolutely recommended! They fit perfectly and keep my earbuds in place, even while running. This experience has made me want to try the Wen 80in (2, 40in) for that purpose.
