Is ANC safe to use while walking around a city like NYC? I personally find myself rarely needing it unless I'm flying in a plane where I really want to hear as little outside noise as possible.
While they mute the noise, they don't make it impossible to discern, IMHO. I have the XM5, and I still hear the traffic, constructions etc. If I'm playign music it's harder to hear, but definitely not if it's just ANC by itself.
