I fancy get some good quality head phones. I could do with them in the house for when everyone goes to bed, and also when i travel.

Anyone had any experiance with the Bose noise cancelling headphones?

Sennhisser.... I bought some about 5yrs ago at about £200 and the sound quality is Very very Impressive and you can have them really loud without distortion

Mark Shead

Rhys

Mark have you got those noise cancelling ones? they worth that bit extra?

Mark Shead

Yes and worth every penny cost me $329 the world goes quite when you turn them on

Mark

Rhys

Hmmm migh be on my shopping list then. I know they are expensive but still they seem very good! I just wasnt sure if the noise cancelling was a gimmick.

Stu they look good and half the price of the Bose it might be tempting as the Bose are very fookin expensive. but i do love my music and fancy up grading my pikey ones.

Just read this review:
For several years my husband and I have been bothered by excessive road and airplane noise while traveling, and we finally decided to bite the bullet and try the new Bose Quiet Comfort 3 noise cancelling headphones with their 30 day moneyback guarantee.
I don't think that we'll be returning these headphones before we die! We just drove 14 hours down the East Coast on I-95 in a new rental Chrysler van, and the road noise was overwhelming. To hear the car radio or iPod, we had to crank the music so loud it hurt our ears. So we took turns listening to the iPod using the QC3's, and it was wonderful being able to hear the low volume parts of the many instrumental songs we enjoy.
The QC 3's are quite similar to the QC 2's, so the reviews of the 2's apply to the 3's as well. The major change is that the 3's have a smaller cup that rests on the ear rather than fitting over it like the 2's, and the 3's cost around $350.00 ...about 50.00 more than the 2's.
Bose just began offering a free Lexar MP-3 player with both sets of headphones last weekend after buyers told them that last year's promotional CD player was out of date. The Lexar will hold a 1 Gig SD card in addition to the 256K and about 30 songs built in.
I am not an engineer, but do know that it is wonderful being able to hear my instrumental soundtrack collection while traveling. We have several long trips planned on the ground and by air this year and will be picking up another pair of these headphones before we take off next week. When one wants peace and quiet, just turning on the noise cancelling switch (with no music input) greatly lowers the noise of the road or jet engines.
I could not understand how Bose could charge so much for a pair of headphones until we used them and realized that we are saving our hearing (at least what is left of it at this point) and arriving less fatigued than we did without the QC3's. That is worth a fortune in our opinion.


Sounds interesting, especially you can turn the noise cancelling on without music playing

Hmmmm i want! they are offer free MPS player too, wonder how much i can get back for that

Can vouch for the Bose headphones, they are fantastic.

Good man Stu

I use Sennheiser HD25 £180 , I found these to be idle when dj - ing on the 1's 2's

Best sounding head phones with a very good frequnecy range

RANJ

im looking in the shure e4c`s about 300 quid, but noise cancelling

COMEDY DAN

I used a set of the Sennheisers for 10 years. excellent sound quality and go very loud for club use, without distorting.

I now use a set of Technics, which are very compact and sound quality is second to none.

sennheiserss are the dogs.. can not fault em at all .. got a pair of hd 25's and a pair of old 570's .. and can honestly say they are really good ...

vikingboy

Shure e5c for natural noise cancellation

http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/P...ries/index.htm

They do different models at different prices to suit budget

or

sennheiser hd650 if you prefer conventional over the ear phones. I use my e5c when out cycling etc, and 650s at home in the evening for relaxation.
Both got equally good sound and benefit from an outboard dedicated amp.

I've got a pair of Seinheiser HD25SPs from when I was DJing (9 bloody years ago!).

Those Bose noise cancellers look awesome!

danneth

yo Rhys,looking forward to our annual xmas mash up??
as you know i've been dj'ing for over 12 years now and have been playing at clubs and events all over the uk every weekend for the last 8 years. i use Pioneer SE-DJ5000 cans and i have to say that they have been faultless in the 6 years that i've had them,excellent sound quality with no distortion and virtually unbreakable. i have used other headphones and the only ones that i would replace them with(if they ever break!!) is the Sennheiser HD595's.

Rhys

Aye of course Ian looking forward to it.

Hmm those Sennheiser deffo look tempting. And tbh i dont think i can justtify the extra wedge on the bose, well not atm anyway

Fed upof using pikey in your ear earphones at home

Mark Shead

I can one thing I like about the Bose 2 is the headphones cup my ears and not press on them,
I tried the Sony ones$50 first but these pressed my ears did not like this after 1 hour so I gave to the wife she's happy and I got what I wanted for it .

Mark

Rhys

PMSL Mark, you have the 2 and more than happy with them then was looking at the new Bose 3 but they are over double what people are saying above. Hmmmm might go on my xmas list and wait a month for them then

Mark Shead

All I can say is I am happy with mine and it will be the same with the others and it could be more of a badge name that made me want mine .

Mark

Trouble thos headphones dont look very erm user freindly. I would be using them on plane aswell as at home So honestly you think they are to big? And i like that fact that are more than half price of Bose, but no noise cancelling feature

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

Agreed, me too.

Mark Shead

The noise cancelling ones are worth there weight in gold on a plane

Mark

teamfatboy

I have these:


Best you can get reduced at decks.co.uk now £115 was £149

Always get Sennheiser, top gear and lasts ages

teamfatboy

Also they are like ear defenders without sound.

MAD EVO 4

Same as mine HD25

teamfatboy

never thought I would pay a huge ammount for headphones but these are like having a hifi strapped to ur head, they almoust bounce of ur head with bass every tune is like you have never heard it before.

Rhys

No no thats only half of it chaps! It has to do that and also be played on system in the house!! So i dont want anything to bulky as it has to be carried around aswell.
