JVC HA-NC250

$160.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
noise cancelling and sound are better than bose.(bose are heavy on the low end freq) great product at a fantastic price compared to the bose unit.
from www.amazon.com
great product for price, feels like the bose but 3 times as cheap, does very well on noise canceling on the airplane.
from www.amazon.com
i tested it out and found that it worked as promised and as far as i know he's very happy with the quality of sound as well as the noise reduction capabilities.
from www.amazon.com
it is a good noise cancellation phone, especially it does not generate hiss between track as most of other noise cancellation headphones have.
from www.amazon.com
this is my first set of noise-cancelling headphones and i find it amazing the way they block out all the "background" noise, yet still allow you to hear essential sounds.

from Soloz from NY, www.circuitcity.com
spend any amount of time around headphone or audiophile forums and you'll hear lots of people talking about the best budget portable headphones.
from Batman from BandForce, The Underground, www.circuitcity.com
the only con is that the durability looks like it might be on the low side if you stick them in your pocket a lot since the wire joint rubbering isn't very thick..
from blue19 from Bellevue, WA, www.circuitcity.com
not really needed unless you carry your player where it is not easy to get to the volume control, such as in a backpack or an inside jacket pocket.
from Steve from Columbus, OH, www.circuitcity.com
the sound quality is great, the fit is wonderful, they isolate the sound (noise-reduction), the design of the cord is convenient, and the price is outstanding.
from lilangry from clearwater, www.circuitcity.com
the cord is adequate enough to keep your player in your pocket without an extender, unlike many others.

Denon AH-NC732K Active Noise Cancelling

$187.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
"i owned a set of bose quietcomfort2 noise-cancelling headphones for the past couple years.
from www.amazon.com
denon's claim of "99% noise cancellation" is probably overstating it, but for wearing the headphones around the city, it's probably better to notice an approaching taxi's horn rather than not hear it
from www.amazon.com
if you can deal with the cord or have no choices like in an airplane, they well worth the 150$ but not much more.
from www.amazon.com
the noise reduction is good - probably not 99%, but close.
from www.amazon.com
good quality sound and active noise cancelling is surprisingly good.

i also really appreciate the handy little leather carrying case for these, perfect to put in your pocket or locker (just dont sit on it).
from www.amazon.com
it's not quite long enough to hold in a pocket, but the "long cord is very, very long.
from www.amazon.com
when i add the connector, it becomes very long and you get excess cord if you want to keep your ipod in the pockets.
from www.amazon.com
it's designed so the player will fit in a shirt/inside jacket pocket or an armband.
from www.amazon.com
this will happen on any earphone made if you can get them to seal as well (noise cancellation).

it wont fall out of your ear when you take them out or anything, but they might fall out in your pocket.
from www.amazon.com
in such instances as your mp3 player being in your pocket, it's possible that a plug can take some pressure, being pushed to a side.
from www.amazon.com
they do a better job of blocking outside noises than earbuds do, but over-ear headphones do it better even if they don't have the noise-cancellation features.
from www.amazon.com
these also have a much smaller base where it connects to the mp3 player, making it safer while in your pocket.
from www.amazon.com
it's more like noise-reduction.

my ear buds are outstanding for portability (they cost as much as these denons) and the ability to go into your "alone cone".
