Noise cancelling headphones
Do they work and how well, anyone any experience or recommendation. As I want to wear them at rest sitting or lying down I suppose in ear would be more comfortable, but I am open minded.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones
Look on the Ken Rockwell site as he's tested a few over recent times (and he loves my favourite old Crown amps, so must be a good chap ). The name 'Bose' means a lot of things to many people (not always complimentary things either), but their noise cancelling jobbies are well thought of I believe.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

Re: Noise cancelling headphones
There are really 2 ways to go and "noise-cancelling" covers a multitude of sins and true noise-cancelling can be bloody expensive.
I've used these for years. Give 'em a try and If you don't like them you've lost less than a tenner. I think they're bloomin' excellent for the price.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones
I have used Bose NC Head Phones three times, twice during flights and once in my office. They are expensive but work brilliantly.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones
Trying slinger's rec first as I don't like being ripped off and Bose are a rip-off company.

Re: Noise cancelling headphones
I don't understand what you have got me to buy. These are for plugging into something and listening to music. I don't want to listen to anything, I want external noise to be cancelled.

Life is to short to do all the things I want to do
