Noise Reduction Headphones

[jdhdiggs]

Anyone have some and care to comment? I would prefer to exclude Bose as their headsets are, at minimum, 3X the price of other units.

I'm looking at "plane queit" NC-6 or the Extreme Isolation Headphones

I haven't looked too much for noise-reduction head-phone recently, I don't like how they feel when reducing noise, ts a kind of vacumn feel, but when you do look at headphones, make you sure you find ones that still work even after the batteries die, I beleive BOSE headphones stop working when the battery for noise reduction dies.

You could check out some in-ear-canal earplugs. They don't have any noise reduction processing, just good ol' fashioned block the sound out by plugging up your ear. Shure and Etymotic are the big players in this market. I believe the Shure e2c pair can be had for $70 or so. My understanding is that the in-canal phones offer a better bass response than conventional circumaural phones.

Hope this helps.
