Dear all,
I'm looking for a good set of "noise cancellation headphones" that will allow me to work in peace in an occasionally loud environment. It doesn't have to be used for music, just be comfortable and effective.
If anyone can suggest any model that they are happy with, I'd very much appreciate it.
Many thanks
Ian

I use a monaural headset (Audio .50 model) for skyping/DNS purposes and I find them very light and comfy.
I heard they have good reputation of quality, so you may check their website.

In memoriam
If you just want to shut out noise (you don't say exactly), there are these headphones with the "SIlencio" brand that are used by shooters. They just protect the ears.
They may or may not shut out the kind of noise you need to eliminate, they are designed to muffle the report of a gun but they do allow some hearing.
They are cheap, but if citizens do not have the right to bear arms in your country, I don't know how easily they may be found.

TOPIC STARTER | Shutting out noise | May 17, 2006 |
Thanks guys,
Henry, I just want to shut out background noise occasionally, for example when I'm trying to proof-read something difficult while my office partners are both on the phone.
I have a rather crude model that is used on building sites, but it's not great by any standards. I want to be able to hear as little noise as possible - I'm not interested in using it to listen to music.
Thanks
Ian

| | | | | My new one is... | May 17, 2006 |
... a Sennheisser PC155 (USB) with noise cancelling AND a own Sound Card. So I can use it with my laptop too, normally laptops are no so good equipped.
I am happy with it, and I think cause I am not using the sound card in my PC I save resources for others issues.
Regards
Fernando

Hi Ian,
I know the feeling when you are in the middle of a trying sentence and there are audible distractions (or attempting to sleep when your partner is snoring his head off....)
Another solution (cheaper?) could be good set of earplugs, there are some amazing models on the market nowadays with all sorts of properties.... See more Hi Ian,

TOPIC STARTER | M1 (6-Punkt-Kapsel) | May 17, 2006 |
Thanks Gillian,
The M1 (6-Punkt-Kapsel) was just what I was looking for. I did consider earplugs but am quite prone to ear infections, so decided against it. These are designed for wearing for hours on end, so that sounds like just the ticket.
Thanks to everyone else too
Ian

I have bought several successive headsets. They are improving a lot. This Plantronics is great, and foldable (handy when you travel). I have used it even in airports (with a loudspeaker in the background, from time to time!)... but I never save my data at the end of such a session !

There are other non-foldable Plantronics headsets, if you prefer comfort... ▲ Collapse
