Bazz339 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Slightly off group topic I know but hang on. I have a longish flight coming up and want to get some noise attenuating headphones. I may go for decent professional such as the DT251-ii or decide to be economical and get some HD 201s or 202s Other suggestions appreciated. If I go expensive I want something that can be used for monitoring headphones as well. (I have DT100s I suppose I ought to try them into my phone) Anyone used the top end Bose active noise cancelling headphones for desk headphones or recording? If I am using them with my phone it would be useful to be able to take calls, I think the Bose above allow this, the Sennheiser Amperon come with a mic adaptor which can be used or not, so I started looking to see if there was an adaptor with mic available separately that could be used with any headphones. Belkin and another one I found don't get very good reports, has anyone any links to others? Volume and other controls would be nice but not essential. I also note most of these state Iphone compatible. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 anyone know if the wiring is the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The Missus did the slog from New Zealand to the UK equipped with Sony MDR-NC40, and was very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervaka Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 http://www.fannywang.com/3000-series.html Obvious toilet humour aside, these got favourable reviews on the Gadget show recently. Not a very scientific review, but fared the best of three in ANC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the Bose (they eventually broke), but while they are very good at attenuating external noise on a plane, they are not comfortable to fly with. If you try to rest with your head against the window like I do, they pick up a lot of contact noise, and become uncomfortable. I now use a pair of Etymotic hf5s. They would not be good at FOH since they are in canal phones, but they are very good sounding, comfortable, noise isolating, and don't make contact with the plane fuselage when you try to sleep on a long flight. If you need them to work as a headset for your phone there is a similar model with a mic, the hf3. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidRay Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You could give the nice people at iheadphones a ring, they are really helpful and have a huge stock of headphones of all sizes and qualities. I don't have any connection with the company, I've just had excellent service and advice from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
