No sh*t Sherlock, of course they have nice "separation", they are headphones! ALL headphones have nice "separation". From the review:

Hypothesizing Michael's real end game is to get more of the Hip-Hop traffic. Dre's lyric for you "Man, this is what I'm talkin about Chicken-head, chicken-fed, with a dick in your mouth" Dre thanks you for helping him ring up the cha ching factor in royalties ;) Don't expect a cut B! BTW, WTF does Monster Cable know about headphones? Talk to me about real headphones by Grado and Sennheiser ;) Anyone who buys Monster HDMI cables for $100 is a born sucker. Or even worst Monsters power conditioners when you can buy a Belkin for at least HALF the price. The only thing that is tech worthy is that these cans use AAA batteries.

If you looking for noise canceling, go with in ear canal, they block more exterior sound and maintain audio quality much better than active noise canceling headphones. If you just looking for high quality sound, Grado Labs is the way to go.
