Best Noise Isolating Over Ear Headphones Under 100

[0.8 lb / 0.4 kg] Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

[7.5 x 2 x 0.1"] Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

[USB-C] I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

[2.5 Hours] I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

[36 Ohms] I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.

[>90 dB] I have been in search of quality, noise-canceling, in-ear headphones for a long time. In truth, I have delayed investing in a really good pair of headphones because it was always a tough cost-benefit analysis for me. However, I am also a professional vocalist and have been considering investing in a really good set of earphones that can serve as in-ear stage monitors as well. I am now so glad I purchased these headphones....the dynamic range and accuracy of these headphones is impeccable. The noise-canceling ability is, frankly, scary. I have never achieved such sound immersion and isolation with any other pair of headphones I have owned.

[0.45 lb] I was originally looking for noise cancelling headphones with over the ear hooks for use at the gym (earbuds alone always fall out, and traditional over the ear headsets are just too bulky for me). I couldn't find any quality noise cancelling ones. So, based on reviews, I took a chance on these Beats. They sound great, the noise cancelling works just fine, and, well, with the wings, they stay firmly and comfortably in my ears. Highly recommended!

[AAC, LDAC, SBC] I love these headphones. As stated in the title, I replaced my Shure SE215 in-ear monitors with these. I used Shure IEM's for traveling because of the high sound isolation provided by the triple flange ear tips. I decided to go a different direction with these because all my other headphones are Sony and I've always preferred the sound of Sony. I use Sony IEMs and Sony over-ear headphones for producing, mixing, and mastering music to give you an idea of my sound preference and experience with critical listening. The noise cancellation in the WI-1000XM2 is very comparable to the sound isolation of the Shure's. I would say with the proper fit, the noise cancellation is better, unquestionably in the low frequencies. The sound of the WI-1000XM2 is excellent. Slightly bright but not overbearing and certainly not lacking in bass. Detailed, clear, and balanced. I've already used them for traveling and love them, especially on planes. This is my first neckband headphone and it doesn't bother me. I might even say I prefer it as they can remain around my neck without constant stowing. Also, the cords to the earpieces are short won't tangle :) The build quality is excellent. I highly recommend them!

[Yes] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having an adaptive noise cancelling pair of headphones is a game changer. They automatically adjust noise cancelling based on what's going on around you and also allow the user to adjust how much noise cancelling is needed. This makes listening to music and podcasts so much better. The sound quality is top tier and the headphones get very loud, the bass is good as well. I love the automatic pause/resume whenever the headphones are removed or put back on. This prevents having to fumble about for a phone or buttons on the headphones. Overall I'd rate the JBL Live 670nc a 9/10 but only because my ears got a bit uncomfortable after about 1.5 hours of use. This is due to the nature of on-ear headphones vs over-ear, it's a personal preference.

[0.6 lb] I prefer over the ear, noise cancelling headphones when I can, but I don't like taking them into dusty environments. These are perfect for working in my wood shop or out in my yard. They do not have active noise cancelling, but with a decent, in-ear fit, they do a decent job of blocking out unwanted noise. The sound is surprising for such a small package, and the charging case is very small and convenient. Getting the Buds paired to my Pixel 6 Pro was ridiculously simple: just open the charging case!
