What headphones are good for noise cancellation?

Site_img_pa_se210_mGot a reader question from Bob, who asks what headphones James and I use when we’re out traveling or just hitting the local Starbucks. When my original iPhone headset broke, I opted to go with a set of Shure SE210s because they seemed to be a quality set that was within my price range. Shure offers higher-end products in the same line, but the SE210s fit my budget. Since they sit in the ear canal, they isolate the outside sound to a large degree; it’s not total noise cancellation and it’s not an active method, but they work quite well. I’ve enjoyed them on several airline flights recently and during the summer they work great when I’m on the tractor cutting the lawn for two or more hours. Hmm… I just realized why I like winter so much.Anyway, give Bob a hand and tell him what you’re using and why. He tried a Bose set, but they didn’t cut it on a flight for him. He’s also considering this set of Sony ‘phones with active noise cancellation, so if you’ve tried them, give a shout!
