In Reply to: BEST noise cancelling headphones? posted by mmg_fan on March 19, 2007 at 15:23:16:
In terms of sound quality and noise reduction, probably the best bet is not a noise-cancelling phone (e.g. Bose) but a noise-"blocking" phone, i.e. in the ear phones such as Etymotic or Shure. The potential downside is comfort. Since they are in-ear, comfort is a very individual thing. These phones come with a variety of foam and plastic plugs to achieve the optimum combination of comfort and noise reduction. If the plugs don't fit snugly, not only is noise reduction compromised, but so is sound quality. Sometimes people complain that these phones sound "tinny", which is exactly what you will hear if there is not a good air seal - they rely on the air seal to provide good bass and if the air seal is not there the bass goes away, hence tinny.

- Don't rule out the Etymotic just because the Shure doesn't work for you. - Recordfan 08:01:06 03/20/07 (0)
