I have no idea if they are any good, but this Friday CompUSA has a sale
on
them.
They are $55 on sale for $20. They look like Aiwa brand but I can't be
sure.
I'm going to try a pair and see how they are if they don't only have 3
per
store and sell out. You know how these loss leaders go.

They cancel audio room noise, not received input noise, in case anybody is
unclear on this.
Say leaf-blower noise from the neighbor, or the dishwasher running, or
computer fans.
Mostly they cancel some of it, not all of it.
I use a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones, less cord just the
phones,
mowing the lawn; or used to before I went to a scythe, which is more
entertaining.
http://scythesupply.com if anybody's interested in that possible hobby.
Every nice day, take a break from inside the house and cut a couple of
12' wide swaths down the lawn. In a few days, the lawn is done, and it's
time to start over.
(Noise-cancelling headphones can't deal with _really_ loud noise, like
gunshots, because they'd overload; unlike say earplugs)

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
Hmmm...I will admit I thought they did both.
Keep noise out and filter the input somewhat.
Thanks for the heads up Ron. I may not look at them now unless I get bored.
