I have not tried them, but since I'm flying to Italy in two weeks I started doing research about the problem of noise on airplanes. At Headroom.com they don't recommend noise canceling headphones even though they sell them, they recommend Etymotic Research ER-4 earphones, since they provide 23db of isolation as well as the flatest feq response of any headphone!! I just bought a pair (arrived in two days). They sound great. They take a little getting used to and are expensive ($269 from Headroom, $330 list).
Noise canceling headphones?
I have been reading about the noise canceling headphones from Sennheiser and some other brands. Can anyone that has tried these give some insight in to the validity of this technology?
I flew United Business Class the other day, they gave you noise canceling headphones. When I turned on the noise canceling, it was like pushing the loudness button on an old amp. Not very pleasant. I would like to know whether the Sennheiser et all are any better?
