Yes it can't be turned off if used wireless. This has been mentioned several times in the thread already

I'll let you read back for the answer. Again, mentioned already.
Hi guys.. New here.
The wireless model seemed to me like a gift from god until I heard during the CNET review that you can't turn off the ANC.
Thing is, my ears are ultra-sensitive to ANC, specially noise-guard. I have a pair of MM 450-X, and I feel a strong amount of pressure when I switch ANC on, followed by a slight headache that lasts for nearly an hour! I thought my unit was defective at first and was planning to send it back, but then I tried the Bose QC25 at a store, and I felt the same kind of pressure in my ears, only less intense, but still not tolerable. I figured my ears just don't like ANC, so if the momentums have that ON all the time, it's a deal breaker
Can someone confirm if it's true that you can't switch that off?
Thanks
edit: Just went through the user's guide. It seems ANC can only be off when it's wired, which defeats the purpose of buying the wireless version (atleast for me)
Still would love a confirmation from owners if that's true.
Quite simply put to those who have received them today.. If the £100 extra worth it for the noise cancellation system?

Well I'm more than happy with mine. The ANC is a great feature, for me I bought them for the wireless. side.
I wouldn't use the wireless (occasionally) in all honesty, so it all comes down to the ANC.
Seeing the NC adds hissing and can't be switched off while wireless, I will probably wait to see how the Momentum wireless compares to the Sony MDR-1ABT.

So have the wired versions got NC too? It's not on the online description.
