I found a review of the Bose Quiet Comfort 3's. There's also a fairly good explanation of noise-cancellation vs noise-isolation in it.

I guess a fitting simile would be to say that it’s like sticking your hand into a bucket of water: if you’re wearing gloves, you don’t get wet, but you still have your hand in water and you know the gloves are the reason you’re dry. The feeling of sticking your hand into a bucket without water is completely different, even though the result is the same; you’re dry. That’s pretty much how I can describe the difference between blocking noise, and removing noise, but it really is something you have to try to fully understand the difference.
