Noise Cancelling Headphone?

[nightflier]

Skip the Bose, they can't compare to a good pair of in-ears. I've compared quite a few headphones and the over-priced Bose were at the bottom of my list. Even the Sennheiser PXC-300s sounded better. But as far as in-ear headphones I settled on Etymotics. Mine are the least expensive ones, the 6 series, which are now selling for $60-80 (Etymotics on Amazon), but the next ones up, the 4 series, are excellent.

Shure also makes good phones, and the 300 series mentioned above are quite decent. Compared to the Etymotics they had more bass, but to my ears sounded less clear and airy. And excellent source for headphone info, including the models mentioned here, is Headroom in-ear phones. Their reviews and ratings are pretty close to the mark.


(P.S. I'm referring to previous generation earphones I tested a year or so ago. The never phones might be different)

Tell you what ... I'll save you $100. I have a KOSS Pro 480 in excellent condition. Not Noise Canceling though.
