My Pick For Cost Reducing Noise Reducing Headphones
Aiwa HP-CN6 Noise-cancelling headphones. Get them at amazon.com for super cheap. I compared these to the $299 Bose and it was a very easy decision. There is not $270 more noise cancelling in the Bose headphones.
When trying them on and comparing them, be aware that the over-the-ear designs block more noise just without having them turned on. So, account for that difference in your testing.
I often use mine at work to cancel out the subconsciously irritating ambient noise and they are indispensable on airplanes.
