| 755903 | 2009-03-12 18:36:00 | Dear all, With the last thread about noise cancelling headphones being made about a year ago, I have decided to start a new thread rather to bump up the existing one. In short, I am looking for a pair of headphones that provide noise cancelling function; my budget is around $150. I have tried out Sony MDR-NC7 headphones from DSE, but the noise cancelling feature is quite poor. Is there any worthy recommendations that I should consider? Cheers :) |

They have some in that range now on special at $99 |

They have some in that range now on special at $99 Yup - the Phitek/Black Box phones I tried a while back were flippin' amazing - but they were around $400 from memory! :o The Sennheiser PXC 300 phones are nice too, but they're still around $330 I think. Maybe try to get some second-hand? |

| 755910 | 2009-03-13 00:39:00 | $150 will get you high quality sounding headphones without noise cancelling, so if you opt for noise cancelling, expect sound quality to be way lower than an equivalently priced non-noise cancelling headphone. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
