So I’ve never used noise cancelling headphones before and I’m at home now so maybe it’s just too quiet, but how do people put up with the hiss?
I don't have 'the hiss' with my B&W PX. I think the sealed up underwater sensation without noise cancelling is normal though, it's because they seal your ears off from the outside world and without the mikes picking up the noises from the outside world and relaying them to you via the drivers inside the headphones it sounds like your ears are sealed off from the outside world because, well, they are.
I would observe that noise cancelling cans are hard to get right and this is Apple's first go...
