I drank what?!?
I'm looking at getting some noise cancelling headphones. Per a co-irker's recommendation I've looked at some of the Bose (QC-25) but the $300 price tag is a bit steep for me. Prefer not to spend over $100. Saw a set of Sony's (I'd need to go back and get the model #) at Best Buy & Target in the $50. While not quite as good, at least checking them out in the store they might be doable, but also get poor ratings. I also saw some returned Audio Technia's (no box but I believe they are ATH-ANC27) at the local Rat Shack but they seem to get worse reviews than the Sony. Plus when turning on the NC feature, didn't seem to drown out much of the ambient noise including my daughter chattering aimlessly. Both The Sony & Bose seemed to do a much better job cutting down background noise (both stores were much louder and had more going on than Rat Shack) but the Bose seemed to put pressure on my ear drums that gave me a headache after awhile. I've heard that associated with the Bose before.
