Noise cancelling headphones

[Paul K]

I wondered about the on/over ear thing. I expect the over ear are better for noise isolation?

I'll try to listen to a couple of my local store has any to try.

Cheers.

I have 2 pairs of ear/head phones.

1. Bose QC 25's -Noise cancellation

2. SHURE SE535 Noise Isolation

Both are great phones with fantastic sound and sound stage.

Bose are used in the house and the Shure are used when out and about and in the office

It all depends on what purpose you want them to serve out and about or indoors.

Have a look at the Shure 235 in ear if that's what your after, the Bose are expensive I agree but a deal might be had on Black Friday

I have the Sony. To be honest they?re fantastic and the new version is supposed to be even better.

I was looking at the AKG N60NC
the other day in the sale. What HiFi 5 star and an award winner.

Currently ?99 in richer sounds:

I'm looking for a pair of good noise cancelling headphones. So far looking at SONY WH-1000XM2 which are stupid expensive in the coming weekend sales at 200?

Anyone recommend anything else?

I do like a good dynamic range in music. Will probably use infrequently when I need some peace and quiet and listen to music traveling around.

My current headphones are PX200. Very old and trusty. But nightmare to drive. Only get some half decent sound out of them with top quality recordings playing at full volume on my phone with the equaliser pushed up on the low freq.

Never owned noise cancelling phones before.

Thanks!
