headphone advice
Hi! Our computer & tv are located at opposite sides of our livingroom.
If I am using my computer & over ear cup type headphones I can hear the tv sound in the background. I have tried different noise canceling type headphones in stores & was not happy with their noise reduction. On www.drumperfect.com/extreme_headphones.asp I found Ex29 extreme isolation noise reduction headphones that seem to be what I am looking for. $89.99. Might these help solve my problem? Am I asking for something that does not exist? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you all. |

"Noise cancelling" devices only work effectively on continuous sounds (like aircraft noise, etc.) Few if any of them at any price will work well on "random noise" like speech and/or music. Get some nice wireless headphones for the TV viewer(s). I have several pair of Advent AW770 which I like a lot. Last three pair I bought were ~$25 each (refurb) on eBay. |

If you want to sample their performance on the cheap, try some Koss "The Plug" earphones. http://www.fullcompass.com/product/284170.html |

Make sure that they are the current version, and not a buyout of the previous version. The Koss sound pretty crappy, but then I think the ubiquitous Sony 7506 sound kinda crappy too. |

For opposite reasons - "The Plug" is short on highs, and the 7506 run to excess. The good news is that you sample "The plug" and get change from a $20 bill. They don't sound so bad for that price! |
