I have a pair of the Sennheisers and have mixed feelings about them. Even with no noise around you, switching them on severely alters the timber of the music. They do cancel out some noise and boost the high frequencies, but they are not that comfortable and turning on the canceling feature often makes my ears pop (like changing elevation). I've use them on several trips and wished they canceled even more noise than they do ( only about 10db, and none at higher frequencies). Bottom line, they do help, but if I had to do it over, I would go to the Etymotic.
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?
