1484394 2022-02-19 01:42:00 I am looking at getting some Noise cancelling headphones,

Can anyone recommend me a good brand?

1484395 2022-02-19 02:40:00 I got the wife some from the warehouse, bluetooth and noise cancelling. She loves them, but I have never tried them so can't say. gary67 (56)
1484396 2022-02-19 03:28:00 Depends on the bucks.

I have an older pair of Sony ones, which are good, but my son's "new" (I suppose they came out over a year ago) WH-1000XM4 ones are about 3 generations ahead, and the noise cancelling is incredible.

Great for flights, if anyone's taking those these days...

1484397 2022-02-19 04:05:00 SONY WH-1000XM4 aren't cheap but they are very good. The high end Bose ones also have a good reputation. CliveM (6007)
1484398 2022-02-20 20:03:00 I bought some $100ish SONY's

The noise cancelling ..... wasnt .
Noise cancellation did nothing worthwhile , it only boosted the midrange instead .

So, read some USER reveiws before buying . Have a look at the model you want on amazon for lots of real reviews .

1484399 2022-02-20 21:39:00 Just as an addendum, my old Sony headphones (MDR-ZX770BN) have NC good enough that I regularly listen to podcasts whilst mowing the lawn - they're better than my (admittedly even older) earmuffs at blocking out the sound of the mower.
I can still remember the first time I tried out a workmate's new WH-1000XM3 pair a couple of years ago - felt like stepping into a tomb.

All the good ones are pretty expensive, but as 1101 says - definitely try before you buy.

1484401 2022-04-15 11:54:00 I can highly recommend the Apple Airpods Pro - their noise cancelling is phenomenal - easily Apple's best earphones.

Also any of these will do a great job...
