Those that have or use any - I know that they are good for reducing rythmic background noises like motor hums and whatnot nearby... But, do they do well for random noise - like loud talkers sitting next to you? Thanks in advance | ||

I have the Bose NC headphones and I love them. For someone that is next to you, it won't block them out, it will muffle their voice a bit. Add music and you will not hear any outside noises. I use them mostly for traveling. It's surprising how much the engine noise from a plane beats you up. | ||

My uncle has the fancy shooting style muffs and they are cool as hell. He showed them off to me at a family gathering in the house. When I was wearing them, everything in the room sounded pretty normal until he took off his sneakers and slapped them together hard. I didn't hear it! Just weird! | ||

nate - my dad has those too, they are awesome! like you said, everything is pretty normal until an abrupt, loud noise, and you barely hear it | ||

I have some skullcandy in ear buds that don't noise cancel but do a pretty good job and keeping things quiet even without music. If you want to go even more extreme then check these out, I got em for christmas they work awesome http://www.earplugstore.com/industrial-isolation-e arphones-29.html | ||

Plundering reviews at amazon for noise cancelling cans, looks like some isolating buds would be better instead I think I might give these a try instead. They have a flange style insert. I've never liked any of the other insertable styles, but I have flange style swim buds that I've used for noise reduction when riding and have liked them... http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Isolating- In-Ear-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps &ie=UTF8&qid=1357596762&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Et ymotic+earphones Thanks for the comments... | ||

Get the new Apple ones, they put the Bose as well as the others to shame for well over half off. | ||

>Get the new Apple ones I have them, and I am enjoying them. They are a real improvement over the old ones. My "neighbors" here at work are just too loud, and turning up the volume to compensate is not a comfortable option... | ||

Having tried several pairs of noise canceling headphones and being disappointed, I discovered Sennheiser isolation headphones. They are top quality, used by DJs, German design, made in Ireland. Very durable, perform well, and lower price than many active noise canceling models. | ||

Those shooting headsets - at least the ones I've seen - actually don't actively attenuate any sound. The earmuffs themselves block all of the sound, but they use microphones on the outside to bring quieter sounds in so everything sounds normal, but turns the speaker off when it gets loud. For the money, instertables are hard to beat, but I find you get a ton of noise from the cord rubbing on your shirt - that gets old after a while. | ||

I have the original Klipsch S4 A in the ear headphones (with mic) and I have found their oval tips to be the most comfortable so far for headphones. The S4 series has been updated to the S4 II but I have yet to try them. The originals have a rubber cord which helps stop it from moving but also makes it hard to untangle. The S4 II has a flat cord which shouldn't tangle as bad and hopefully have enough surface friction to stay in place. Also they make a few versions, the "A" is for Android phones. "i" for Iphones. The the big thing to do to cut down on cord noise is to wrap the cord up and over the ear instead of having it dangle down. It works even for the normal ear plugs. | ||
