noise reduction headsets

I have a set of Sennheiser%26#39;s and they are really good. Great base and you can%26#39;t hear a thing outside. Think they were about 拢20 on Amazon. If money is no object then get you self to Bose. The are the best headphones around but expect to pay for them.

Hi

Thanks for that,

Tilleydog.

We bought an Altec lansing 712 and a Sony.

The first collapsed after one trip, although admittedly we packed it in the main suitcase for an internal flight. Very flimsy construction. Ear muffs stuck on with glue and came off

The second was badly put together and the plug broke first time of use.

The big question is - shoudl you spend a lot in the hope that an expensive model would be more durable or is it better not to risk say 拢100?

The noise cancellation stuff does work. But I would go for a model that encompasses the ears and not one that sits on the ears. Simply covering your ears with the headphone switched off cuts out some noise. The models which sit on the ears do not offer this lo tech solution. Switching on thenoise cancelling mechanism cuts out some more noise.

I am tempted to try the Sony ear bud version becauise I can then use it daily on the train. But I am fearful of spending 拢50 on something so flimsy which definitely would not stand up to every day use

I use the Etymotic%26#39;s E-4%26#39;s. They are in the ear buds that are barely visible and have great sound. Plus you don%26#39;t have the bulk of the over the ear head sets.

We had an incident on our plane about a year ago during a bad storm. My wife said people were screaming all over the plane. I heard nothing. If your mp3 player is off, you can hear barely voices, but if your player is on, even at the lowest volumes, you will hear nothing but music.

I liked them so much, I bought a set to use in my helmet for radio communications.

thank you for all you imput.

Don%26#39;t waist your money on Sony as they are rubbish. I paid 拢60 for a set and they went back the next day. Was recommended the Sennheiser%26#39;s, think they are the cx300. I was shocked with the quality from a 拢20 pair. Btw they are the ones that go in the ear.

They might not make them now as I%26#39;ve had mine a year or so but I would think they will have something similar.

If not the Shure SE110-N are a steel at 49.99 from Amazon.

Their is only one choice when it comes to proper noise cancelling headphones and that is the Bose. However they are around $300

Got some Sony%26#39;s and they were OK - but did make your ears sore after a while. I%26#39;d follow carhirers advice and look for the all-ear encompassing ones if I were you.

Another one for Bose, i can never sleep on return flights but since i got the Bose ones i had a good sleep on the last flight.

I completely agree with the Bose recommendation. I treated myself to the quiet comfort 2 headphones from the Apple store in the Florida Mall. They were $295, but they cost that in pounds at the time back in UK, so they were well worth it. The sound quality whilst not the best, is very good, but the noise cancellation on them is astounding! They are somewhat a considered purchase, but my wife spent a similar amount on a pair of shoes from mall of millenia, and i know which will last longer!!! lol!
