How to Buy The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones

Getting advice about noise cancelling headphones from friends, seeing reviews in magazines and websites and trying to sort out what the best headphones are is quite a job!.

• Bose are the market leader, they are iconic,  so should you go for the  Bose QuietComfort 15?
• Do you choose Sennheiser PXC 450 due to their superb hifi ability?
• Or go for a Sony MDR NC2000 which is such a great all round performer?
• And perhaps even pick up the Klipsch IMAGE S4 In – Ear headphones for a super portable solution

  I've tried hard to make the decision about which Noise cancelling headset to choose as easy as possible with these reviews but it will still take you some time to sort out which is best for you.

Basically it comes down to looking through YOUR reasons for buying and then checking how each model performs. So, what’s important to YOU when looking for Noise Cancelling headphones?

1. The Biggie has to be how well the headphones reduce surrounding noise, whether in flight or other travel or in a noisy office    
      
2. Next is the fit. Headphones either surround your ear (Circumaural) or sit on and against your ear. People mostly have strong views on this, so what’s yours? There are ear buds too such as JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (Black) which fit deep into the ear. I can't stand ear pieces that go right into my ear but you may love them, so consider it eh?        
3. Sound quality. It might be that since the noise performance is what you are after the audio performance does not matter to you, but each brand if not each model, will have its own character.What character do you like?Sennheiser has a reputation for very high quality, high fidelity sound;Bose has a reputation for giving a bass boost to its sound.Neither of these is right or wrong and one of them may be ideal for you  

4. Price – yeah, does it fit your budget? Here is a summary table of the top Noise Canceling headphones bringing prices together in one place 

Individual features can be deal breakers.

A very short cable, a battery that is or is not rechargeable, a headset that feels too heavy…check through the features list and see what suits you.

Also check any headphones you have and write down what you like them or don’t like them and this will help you buy your next set and make it a success  

Without trying out each headset you may think it will be a nightmare but this short video may help. I was very surprised by the performance of the headphones tested…the last part of the video is a shocker.
