| 383103 | 2005-08-23 05:45:00 | check out headphones from a company called plantronics... possibly plantronics.com apparently a good set is around 50 bucks, but the one i know of comes with a microphone too.... regardless google Plantronics and if you find the site, browse around.. im sure you'll find something you like there | DigitalMessiah (7649) | ||
| 383104 | 2005-08-23 06:54:00 | The ones you link to are "noise cancelling", and highly recommended for travelling on aircraft or cars/buses etc. They have in-built batteries/sensors and amplifiers, which sense and cancel out local noise such as the roar of the plane or car. Even with no music playing, turning them "on" just makes all the background noise disappear. I use a set when using the ride-on lawnmower (Targus is the brand I have). The Targus ones fold-up very compact for travel as well. Google shows plenty of NZ suppliers |

| 383105 | 2005-08-23 07:32:00 | God father - are these the ones www.targus.com How are they in terms of music quality , base etc , with the noise cancelling is it totally cancelled or just a bit. Also how comfortable are they. Has anyone seen any of these in NZ www.creative.com They look really good Thanks |

| 383106 | 2005-08-23 08:24:00 | No, mine are slightly diggerent but probably mine are an older model. They run on 2 x AAA cells. Base response is excellent, noise cancelling is about as good as it gets, not total (its not possible to get electronic total noise cancelling) but travelling in a car or plane its very effective. They are comfortable. I have high quality Sony (non noise cancelling) and the Targus are easily as good as the Sony in terms of frequency response. Mine were much dearer but the price has dropped somewhat over the last 2 years. Mine have adjustable noise cancelling, but I always run it at maximum anyway. |

| 383107 | 2005-08-23 10:35:00 | I have some sennheiser PX100's, their very good portable headphones - great bass. Will set you back about $90 but well worth it! | DangerousDave (697) | ||
