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.


fuad

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.


fuad

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.

It all depends on the noise frequency you want to block. Higher frequencies are easier to block than low frequencies. And unless your ear drums is detached completely from your body, you will always hear some low frequencies.


fuad

check out forumer Davis or Walabies

they have a range of products that fit many budgets

i have dealt with both before and are efficient sellers

Nokia BH905 has 10 (ten) microphones all over the headset to capture surrounding sounds and cancel them all.


http://www.nokia.com/microsites/bh-905

Nokia claimed this is world best bluetooth headset.

Selling RM755.62 at ebay.

BUt if that way above budget, can try the new Moto S10HD with at least dual noise cancellation mics for $79 at best buy


http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Co...la-S10-HD-US-EN

I'm using the old s9HD, fits me well because i want sweatproof, style plus totally wireless and that even cheaper now at $21.99 (price quote in USD)

I appreciate your suggestions.

BTW, what is the band on the Moto S10HD? From the pic it does not look like it fits a normal sized head lol.

I understand the average "affordable" ANC earphones are at least USD150.

Thanks for links too

You guys think it'll be worth getting in Singapore?

you realize that you won't be able to listen to modern pop music with these noise canceling 'phones, don't you?

What do you mean by that? This is a bluetooth/handsfree device only? Not MP3 compatible?

no, I meant with any noise canceling phones

And why not? These are all earphones. Pls explain.

U mean the flexible rubberized plastic headband? Or band gsm 3g ?

I think if it fits beckham it fits any head

Why? o_O

Btw guys, I'm also looking for a NC headphone....
Is Bose QC3 or QC15 better?

Haha it looks uber cool on Beckham.

So just to get this straight (sry I've never bought these before, and u've used them) this thing:

does not need external batteries or any cells (AAA or AA etc)
is chargeable

but does it play MP3? No wire or anything?

c'mon guys... most modern pop music is just noise and will get canceled

Sry, still confused about the Motorola, it has a micro USB port for charging?
But no audio jack? If I can only use it with a phone and not an iPod without an extra bluetooth device then I can't have it.

Are there any others similar to this? Audio jack, rechargeable, no battery required? THANKS.

Its bluetooth stereo headset, rechargable with USB, no 3.5mm (so its wireless i use it for jogging, gym and surfing the net in starbucks - No messy wires), it also able to receive call and make call.

It can also able to give command to phone (iphone/windows/android phone) like:-

"Call mom" etc
"play Bonamana"
"play song by Kathy Perry"
"send sms to Roy"
"send email to Mark"
"open Google maps"
"show me the nearest cafe"
"navigate to esplanade singapore"

and a lot more.

without you even touch the phone or having any wire attach to it.

You can also use it on notebook or PS3 without any wire.

That's unfortunate.

Do you know any that performs active noise canceling while being able to play MP3 via audio jack? This one is nice for phones and laptops I guess - it's still a brilliant suggestion but not what I can use right now.

TY

i own a QC15 and my younger bro own a QC3..for me i prefer QC15 since its over ear,much more comfortable and cancel more noise and cheaper..but QC3 came with rechargeable batt..thats it..
