3. Sennheiser Noise Cancelling Headphones (PXC 450)


Read reviews of the Sennheiser PXC 460 headphones at Newegg.com

 I'm forever doomed when it comes to noise canceling headphones because I have a hard time forking over hundreds of dollars for headphones. I look forward to the day when someone will actually listen to me when I tell them I want these for Christmas/my birthday/Valentine's Day (why ask if you have no intention of following my directive?). Maybe 2010 will be my lucky year! They are on sale, after all. --Jane McEntegart

Chris Angelini, you should learn to drink scotch. And I have some ideas about what you can do with all of that spare hardware too.

Not one, but two Sennheiser headphones! The staff likes to equip themselves in style :). I can't help but add a third Sennheiser to the list for those with normal budget constraints - the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO. These headphones can be had for under $100 (not the $500 price range of the ones in the article) and you still get great audio quality with 8Hz-25kHz frequency response. They only offer passive noise canceling, but I find that perfectly adequate for my needs. (I'm using a pair of HD 280 PRO headphones as I write this.)

Hey there's nothing wrong with a margarita ;-)

A couple of years back, I'd drink Grand Marnier 150 neat. I've never really had a scotch I had to have again, though...

Hey Jane:

If you want active noise cancellation but can live without the talk through feature, try looking for the PXC 350s. They can be had for $200-$250 and have a longer battery life. For some reason, NewEgg doesn't carry them.

Google says that IncrediCell is the best bet for a low price on them:
