MP3 players: Using a noise cancelling headphone
Using a noise cancelling headphone
by joshz - 8/3/04 4:43 AMI dislike the music that is played at my fitness center. Unfortunately, it is played so loudly that it almost drowns out the music I listen to on my portable music player. If I were to use noise canceling headphones, would the volume of the center’s music be reduced? Also, is there much of difference in the quality between the $50 and the $100 headphones?

Yes. I've tried a Bose and others. The cancelling did differ from each one.
But I don't use such since they eat batteries.

They're called noise canceling headphones but they're really noise reducing. They get rid of background noise...and do a good job of filtering out machine noise. I use them at work and they get rid of a lot of the general noise (machine hum, etc.) but if someone is having a conversation near me, it often seems slightly clearer than other noises around me. An over the ear model might do a better job, but the way the headphones work is to cancel the white noise around you...so the music at your gym would probably not be filtered otu.

They aren't noise cancelling, but are canal phones, which go in your inner ear and make a seal blocking almost all outside noise. With them on you can't hear anything but the music. Great isolation.
