Suggestions for noise cancelling headphones

Post Reply New Topic

These headphones are too good. My neighbours footsteps didn't wake me up today, but I slept through my alarm and missed an appointment because I couldn't hear it. Doh.

Well I got some headphones I spent 300$ on, but that is also because it had changeable plates for the outside, and they had an option for dragon scale plates so I did order those in addition to the headphones and that is what brought the price up so much. Anyways the brand was Vmoda, and they have some other models of headphones and you don't have to spend extra on the plates that's just optional.

I just got myself some noise cancelling headphones and I love them!
They're called Skullcandy hesh ANC (ANC. Stands for active noise cancelling) they're about $80 on Amazon right now. I. Us mine everyday and they work great! Don't block out everything but do help a ton and are worth the $80 for sure. (I can't afford those $200+ headphones XD)
I definitely recommend them!

Edit:
They are wireless which is awesome but also have a cord where you can used them plugged in too!

Sounds great. I was really struggling to find a cheaper option.

Still not used to the touch controls on the headphones. Somehow I swiped onto YouTube music whilst watching Netflix and it started play me Squid very loudly! I couldn't work out where the sound was coming from!

If you don't like sudden loud sounds the touch features might not be so good

Ear defenders are by far superior to noise canceling headphones and a fraction of the price. If you want maximum noise reduction and not to just play music, go for the ear defenders. I bought the top of the range Sony noise canceling headphones and they were a poor and expensive substitute to simple and inexpensive ear defenders.

I ordered a cheap pair of noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones from Amazon:

I'm hoping they do well for phone calls and watching videos, mostly, but it would be great if they're good enough for music, too. And also, I'm very curious as to whether wearing them purely to reduce ambient noise will have any noticeable effect on my state of mind, given the profound effect I now notice when putting on my very dark (Cat. 4) sunglasses, here in the land of the High Desert Sun.

The reviews on the headphones I bought are good. I'll make note of what I think of them here, when they arrive.

I bought a "Used-Very Good" pair from Amazon, for $54.73US.
