[dba-Tech] Noise canceling headphones

Thanks.  I'll check them out.  But they're for Max who needs to study in the
frat house where he's living and it's noisy.  So over the ear might be
better.  He really needs quiet versus music and he mentioned noise
cancelers.

Hi Rocky,

I bought a pair of JBuds J2 Premium Noise Isolating earplugs.  Notice 'noise
isolating' instead of 'noise cancelling'.  They don't actively cancel any
noise, but the soft insert does a good job of quieting the outside noise.

The sound quality on these is really impressive.  The ear plug is about 1/2"
long, which provides room for a sound 'chamber', which produces really good
bass for such a small device.  These are the best ear plugs I've ever
listened to!

They cost about $14 on Amazon, and come in a variety of colors.

Good Luck!
Dan

Anybody have experience with noise canceling headphones and can tell me
what's a good product?

The Bose brand is like 2-3x the cost of anything else.  Could they really be
that much better?

TIA

Rocky
