07RS4 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Anyone have a good pair? Suggestions? I'm looking for a good pair that I can use while I detail, and run the machines, while keeping out most of the noise. I have a black quad cab next weekend, so I'd like to get them by then. Don't like hearing the PC for the entire day:2thumbs: Let me know your thoughts. I'm trying to keep the price reasonable here...I'm looking for something $100 or less....if there is a product that you feel is FAR superior, then I'll consider something more expensive. Please, only if you have first hand experience with them... TYIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 here you go. a little above your budget but they are worth it. FYI stay away from ANYTHING from BEATS by DR. Dre. Sennheiser USA - Noise Cancelling Headphones - PXC 450 - Stereo, Top quality Sound - Personal Audio i like these far better then the bose, however that being said boses headphones are probably the only thing from them thats not a paperweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3PedalMINI Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Seinheiser is one of the best IMO, especially in the $99-$699 range. they do a TON of professional stuff for studios and sound booths. Repost that link its broken, if your wanting something muffle the noise of the machines then these will be more then sufficient. they are not noise canceling but will cut down on the noise [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Pro-Headphones/dp/B000065BPB/ref=sr_1_60?ie=UTF8&qid=1331435257&sr=8-60]Amazon.com: Sennheiser HD-280 PRO Headphones: Electronics[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3PedalMINI Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Those look good...I will probably pull the trigger on those then!! What do headphones need to have to be classified as noise cancelling? true noise canceling headphones have a microphone and actually listens to the ambient noise around. It then processes it and for lack of geeeking you out it injects the same sound wave and literally cancels the noise. thats why the first ones i linked you too were more expensive. The second ones just seal tight around your ear and has a thick insulation that will muffle the sound If you have some time read this: HowStuffWorks "Noise-canceling Headphones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3PedalMINI Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Np man ne time!

InDepthAutoDetailing Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have 2 pair of the HD280 Pros that I used in my studio. They work great for db reduction but they will be hot wearing them all day while polishing. I don't know if that matters to you but thought I'd let you know. If it's cold then that could be a benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegeaney Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have the Bose QC-15's...noise canceling and over the ear vs. on top. I bought them for air travel and to use at work. They are spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had them for years and they perform well. A couple things: 1) They are considered to be more of a studio headphone, meaning they are designed for accurate sound reproduction and not for being the smallest or lightest. 2) Some people like other headphones better because these headphones don't accentuate the bass, they produce sound fairly accurately as it was designed to be heard by the recording engineer. 3) These have "passive" noise reduction - meaning they use sound insulating materials/techniques to reduce the sound level (items like a seal around the ears), they do NOT use electronics to cancel out the sound. Hence, no batteries are required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they come with the mini adapter so make sure you pick it up at the same time Amazon.com: 3.5mm M to 1/4" F Adapter: Electronics Maybe the Sennheiser HD-280-Pro have changed but the pair that I have you won't need this. The adapter is a gold plated 3.5mm male stereo with a screw on 1/4" stereo male adapter. So out of the box you can work with 3.5mm or 1/4" stereo adapters. Also, since they are "over the ear" they can make your ears warm over time like an other poster said. But they are very nice. Have owned 2 pairs of these, actually three pairs but gave one pair away and had one pair taken from me. These have a cord that is fairly long, can actually reach from my family room receiver to the couch so they are awesome for late night TV watching too!

I have a box of foamies, and 3 pairs of ear defenders. I was looking for something that I could listen to music also:thumbsup: Looks like a have a decision to make here...thanks for all the input guys. The more I read up on it, the more I want to go the noise cancellation route...the technology seems really cool. I just don't know how often I would put them to use. Maybe the HD280...I like the pricepoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
