<p>Since people post about just about anything on this forum...I thought I'd ask a random question: </p>

<p>Can anyone help me find some effective noise-cancelling headphones? Good ones? That don't introduce additional noise (high frequency hiss)?</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>bose .</p>

<p>If you want ones you can carry around and are compact - Sennheiser PMX 200 are excellent - I use them on the CTA busses and trains and hear none of it.</p>

<p>I second the Bose recommendation. I normally use earbuds and they aren't the best cancellers, trust me. After trying out Bose headphones at the Bose outlet, I realized just how good the cancellation on them is. I had someone yell to me and I couldn't even hear him while wearing them and listening to music at an average volume.</p>

<p>e2c or e3c or e5c all by Shure</p>

<p>Shure's still around? I honestly thought they were an old brand--the only Shure product I've ever seen is the needle on my turntable, and it's from 1979. The needle is top-notch, so I assumed it was a good make, I had thought it got bought out in the 1980s or something.</p>

<p>I'll have to give it a look since the Shure needle is the best one I've ever encountered on a turntable.</p>

<p>please don't buy bose...</p>

<p>i second the sennheiser recommendation, and as far as earbuds, shure, Ultimate Ears, or Etymotics</p>

<p>Shure e2cs are amazing.</p>

<p>don't get noise cancelling headphones...try noise-reducing headphones like Sony EX51/71 or Sennheiser CX300 first</p>

<p>M447's are really nice for scratching/heavy use</p>

<p>And it still says Sure on the package and stylus</p>
