Most noise canceling headphones wont even cancel out all noises, some voice pitches wont be canceled, most airplane or bus noises wont be canceled out, that's why noise isolation (where you have over the ear cuffs with a good seal) works better for the most part
The QC25's are amazing as far as noise cancellation goes. They come with a defective 3.5mm audio wire (not a big deal since it's replaceable, but still a nuisance). The noise cancellation is insanely good on them.
I decided against headphones altogether for now. I only have to take the bus for another month. I do like them while I study, nicer than wearing earplugs, and better than just muffling noise. As far as good headphones go, I do have a DAC/amp combo, but I'll wait until something really tempting comes around. Problem is I have a $2000 audio setup ($650 speakers, $650 DAC, $650 amp, and $100 cables which were probably a placebo purchase), so anything I get I end up comparing to my speakers.
