alfred_62 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 I will be looking to buy a headphone which can block out outside noise(high frequency, low etc) as long as it really blocks out the noise and nobody really disturb me. Can anyone point me to some tutorials/faqs where I can learn all these stuff and which stuff is good for me? Thanks a lot. I did a search on noise cancelling headphones here but i did not see any info on noise cancelling headphones(or maybe I missed it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rameish 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 The bad news is these headphones dont seem to work very well and the sound quality usually suffers as well. You are better off with IEMs (in-ear monitors) that isolate much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, if IEMs don't work out for you (original poster), try closed headphones, not too bad for sound isolation, though lousier at isolation and more bulky than IEMs. I personally would recommend this option unless you really hate IEMs and can't live with how noise-cancellation headphones sound.

Ballack 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 probably true. i tried it on a plane. turned the active noice cancellation on and went to sleep in silence. can only testify that the plane's rumbling cannot be heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
