Best Headphones for Silence

without even turning the earphones on, you are immediately immersed in silence.

the sound is great, but not quite up to the hd 600's standard and the noise canceling is good, but don't expect silence.

the harshest engine noise was silenced and i could listen to my mp3 player at a reasonable level.

i'm a college student so when i study, i like to study in complete silence which is very hard to do at times.

you turn on the switch and you're sitting in virtual silence (for the most part).

like a 'thundering silence.' it wasn't so bad if what i was listening to was noisy, but if there were periods of silence it started to give me earaches and headaches.

when i put them on, the first thing i noticed was the silence.

however don't think that noise cancelling headphones - these or any others - to completely silence "outside" noise.

i sometimes wear these very comfy phones with no music on just enjoy the silence effect.

i'm not returning these because the combination of my 5 cent foam earplugs and these achieve my objective (work on computer in silence while wife watches tv).
