Noise cancelling headphones?
Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a set of noise-cancelling headphones. The room I work in has a constant drone of pumps, not at dangerous levels but hours of it does grind you down. Normally I wouldn't play music at work but I'll help the masking by playing something quiet at low levels.
Looking around, I've seen sets from $50 to $400. Now of course you get what you pay for but I'm wondering how much more? And how much do you pay for a brand name (eg Bose, Harmon Kardon)? These days it seems once someone has a technology very soon everyone has it. It's been years since I used headphones and I think the ergonomics has improved so I'm not sure which style to chose: in ear, on ear or over ear. In-ear are the most convenient but I think they look uncomfortable. The bigger ones, especially the over-ear, should assist in blocking the outside noise but they look cumbersome. I know in the end it's my personal choice but I'd still value any comments.
cheers,
David
