I'm just curious!
Are you using them on your own devices or through the BA IFE? If you are using them on your own devices the noise cancelling feature won't be operating as it is powered through the smaller of the two pins. The BA headphones are not Bose but they work in a pinch for me(usually when I have forgotten/lost my own).
