Noise cancelling headphones

[brushro]

Hello to everyone & thanks in advance for your suggestions & inputs...my wife is a student who spends alot of time on the computer for her studies & due to our limited living space, an active 7 year old and my occasional desire to watch a movie or TV sporting event she's very challenged for concentration...besides the Bose noise cancelling headphones are there other products similar to these I could shop for & consider?
Thank You

Try the Shure E2c headphones ($99) They are noise isolating, not cancelling. Having tried both the Bose and the Shure, and I absoluted love the Shure. I work in an office that recently moved to cubicles, it was distracting hearing all the noise and convesations. I put these in and turn on my IPOD and it all just disappears. Sometimes I just put them in and don't turn on any music they cut that much sound out. Shure has other models that are more expensive and perform better.

I would do a commercial for Shure headphones for free, I recommend them that much!

You can tell I like the headphones!

I am in the exact situation as Mpompey, except I have the Etymotic Research ER-6i which use the same concept as Shure. I absolutely love them. I have never used Shure, so I cannot comment on which one is better. But I also have the Sony MDR-V600, and the ER-6i are orders of magnitude better.

Here's a link to the company website,

and you can buy them from an authorized retailer on E-Bay for $129.00 using the "Submit Best Offer" option,

If you do not want in-ear headphones (like those mentioned), I highly recommend the Sony MDR-7506/V-6 (NOT the V600). They're excellent professional-quality headphones. I personally have the 7506s and love them. They do a decent job of isolating noise and are fairly comfy to boot.

I recommend the Seinhessier HD212pro's. You can run them full blast and not hear a thing. Great bass response too. I personally use the HD 500's, but they are loud outside.

That doesn't sound efficient!
