Noise Cancelling Plugin?

<< < (2/2)

cool_walking_:
I have some noise cancelling headphones (Sony MDR MC6) that I got as a gift and some IEMs (Sennheiser CX300, recommended by some members here), and the IEMs work *much* better - they block out much more noise, don't make a hissing sound in the background like the headphones tend to, don't need batteries, and are much more portable.  The only downsides are: they could be seen as slightly less comfortable than 'phones (though I think most people would get used to it), and they tend to collect earwax.

donp:
In my experience, cancellation works best at keeping out low frequencies, foam plugs or muff protectors work better for high frequencies.  I'd like to try something that has both.

Either way, not an issue at all for Rockbox unless you have phones with the mics, no built in circuitry, and a player with stereo mic input.

GodEater:
I'm currently using triple flange plastic sleeves on my Shure E2Cs - and I can't hear a thing from the surrounding area. Volume on the player is set to about a third of what's possible - so the music isn't deafening either.

TommyArnold:
Thanks everybody, sounds to me like IEM's are the way to go.

BdN3504:
Concerning IEMs: I got the UE Super.fi 4s and they are pretty neat to use with rockbox. They are loud (i listen to music at -23dB -> absolutely enough on my gigabeat f) and cancel noise very well. The best thing about them is their neutrality, you can continuously listen with them without getting a headache...
