Not overly surprising: not because the BOSE headphones are wonderful, but because the noise cancelling of the Studios, as measured by Tyll Hertsens of InnerFidelity, is abominably awful.
They still have good noise cancelling, from what I've read, but it's nothing incredibly special.
I found their ANC feature subpar as well. I tried them at a noisy Apple store nearby and they were OK. I put on my Shure SRH940's....I get the same noise isolation effect from them as I do with the Studio's ANC. Unless the ANC wasn't working properly, I don't think the Studios have a very good ANC feature at all. Bose on the other hand did have a significant noise reduction from their ANC.
