Introduction
The ATH-ANC7s are a pair of active noise cancelling over-ears from Audio-Technica. The ATH-ANC7s have the ability to turn their active noise cancellation feature on and off, which immediately puts them leagues beyond many other active-cancellers. The headphones can also play back music once their batteries have died, or without a battery at all.
On the audio performance side, the ATH-ANC7s didn’t blow us away. They had an average frequency response score, relatively flat tracking, and were capable of outputting high decibel levels with minimal distortion. This being said, their distortion levels across the board were higher than we’d like to see. Also, they didn’t perform quite so well on our isolation or leakage tests.
Probably the most spectacular feature of the ATH-ANC7s is their price. They can be found between $100 and $130, which makes them a good deal. The ATH-ANC7s aren’t the best pair of active noise cancellers we’ve seen, but they are a good budget option.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
