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?

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.

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.

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 smile.gif

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.

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.

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.

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 smile.gif

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

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

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?

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.

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
