Suggestion for cheap noise cancelling headphones

Post by b318isp »

Looking for ideas for cheapish (up to say €50) noise cancelling headphones. Only need to be reasonable good quality and with good sensitivity.

Got a nice pair on 7dayshop.com They are noise cancelling to a point but quality to my mind was great compared to cheapies. They are the first pair that I dont need to turn up the ipod to max.

Sennheiser cx300 they are £16.99 + postage, cost me approx €27. These are I think about €40-45 in hmv

i too use the cx300... but... they aren't noise cancelling, just a very snug fit which excludes external sound....

the cx6 I think is the noise cancelling version, or closest to it (edit: nope they're just snug too... they dont seem to do intra-aural noise cancelling)
Brass Bands are all very well in their place -
