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)
