RE: Re: Noise Canceling Headphones UPDATE

[Guest guest]

The headphones you are talking about are more aimed at cutting

out noises such as a train or aeroplane or a drum noise not noises such as

crunching, I wear AKG K171 Studio that are used to cup the noise into the ears

blocking out almost all others noises, even with no sound they do a great job

The noise cancelling technology in that type of

headphones is mostly

effective with steady state sounds, so I'm curious if anyone has had

much luck with them blocking their triggers.
