Wanna buy them, but know nothing about them.

Are there noise canceling headphones that work when you don't play music?

Any suggestions, recommendations, brands?

TY

yes
try Sennheiser PXC 310 BT

im using Bose Quiet Comfort 15.. love it so much..

Ahh I see. So it is a pair of ANC earphones that can work when you are not playing music too?

I prefer earphones over headphones.

How much is it? Do any stores ever let you try them on before buying?

Thanks.

the bose around MYR1100..u can go to any bose retailer and try it man..if u just using for 30 mins,just get earphone..if more than that,better use headphone,over ear,much more comfy and block the noise..where u gonna use it ? normally i use in airplane..

OMG, 1100 MYR... that's Quite A Lot. But it is Bose after all.

My house's outside surroundings are very (extremely) noisy, I shoulda gotten one months ago.

Any more affordable ANC/equivalent earphones you could suggest?

Thanks again.

You haven't seen this YouTube video, have you?

search for Denon AH-NC732 on amazom.i think that is within your budget..

in ear monitors the way to go for noise cancelling

ape tu ear monitors ? thanks bro.

In Ear Monitors (IEM) are the triangle shaped things that you insert inside the physical canal of your ears...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-ear_monitor

"In-ear monitors (IEMs) are devices used by musicians, sound engineers and audiophiles to listen to music or to hear a custom crafted mix of vocals and stage instrumentation for live performance or studio mixing. They are often custom fitted for an individual's ears and provide a high level of noise reduction from ambient surroundings."

I have in-ear earphones, but it's the basic kind you see in all IT/computer stores. They block out noise but cannot help against loud construction/annoying frequency sounds outside my house.

Thanks for recommendations, keep them coming

I think ~RM400 is the limit, the cheaper the better, I have never owned such expensive earphones. Even RM300 already sounds pretty expensive for me.

Look for Goldring NS1000. retailed at RM690. You can turn off the noise cancelling function and can still listen to music.

I will maybe visit some shops, and ask around. There's the possibility of being overcharged so I will check prices online or something before buying.

Possible to buy it in Singapore at lower price-after-conversion? I'm visiting soon.

Seriously though, why are you buying these things then if it's not mainly for music listening. Did you even consider the ear muffs used to block noise or do you just want to spend? I just saw an ear muff that can block 20db of noise for RM65 at Ace Hardware.

i do listen to music. i want both, really.

i need it to be able to block noise and play music, and im looking for the least expensive option.

If you want style, then get whatever you can spend. If you want least expensive option, use your current in-ear earphones and ear muffs.

It's not style, it's not brand/price.

I just want ANC, or at least I think I do, because they block out noise well, and the elaborate IEM earphones aren't very comfortable.
