Mrs Mervyn is looking for a decent set of noise cancelling headphones.For wearing on the train or when visiting noisy galleries.Can anyone recommend a decent set that are not to dorky? Don't know anything about them so all information would be very welcome. Thankyou.
I have a set of Bose QC25s ( maybe 35s not with me to check) I think that I have used on long haul flights and in general. Not cheap but for me do a good job. Came with two batteries each of which gives a decent number of hours of life.
Thankyou TT600, bradders and El Toro.Big positive for Bose. Mrs Mervyn not keen on the in ear type bradders,but thank you for the suggestion.I will throw the Bose recommendation her way.
Only thing I'd say in my On ear bose can only be worn for an hour before if becomes uncomfortable, like a airlock. Not sure it over ears would be different. My beats ones aren't as bad, but still get uncomfortable after an hour or so
I have these: Beoplay H8 - Premium, lightweight, wireless, Active Noise Cancelling on-ear headphones. I fly long haul lots for work and wouldn't be without them. I've worn them for hours on end and they are very comfortable and yet to sweat! I picked mine up in Johannesburg for around £280 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Have found new ones for £260 on eBay. Warranty is with Bang so register them and you should be covered. Bang and Olufsen B&O Beoplay H8 Wireless Headphones - Brand new and sealed | eBay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
How much reading do you want to do Mervyn? Bose noise cancelling headphones - Page 1 - Computers, Gadgets & Stuff - PistonHeads
There's nothing on tele tonight....and tbh in the same forum there are probably more Threads on the same topic. It's a popular one.
Bought these as a Christmas present for my wife, she loves them. Now I can turn my guitar amp up to 11 !
Thank you for that Carr01.Mrs mervyn is now looking seriously at these.I am about to read up the link that TT600 sent me.
Just throwing my two pennies worth in again. I've head phones from bang,bowers,Bose,Sony and without a good rummage that's all I can recall. The build quality and materials used between the Bose and the bang is off the peg vs Savill Row. Headphones get a lot of handling and leaving sound quality out of the equation for now, bang or bowers use much better components and durable materials. The price points are relatively equitable across all the noise canceling over the ear headphones that have been suggested. Bose spend a lot on marketing but they feel cheap and are very plasticky.

I have the Sennheiser Momentum Bluetooth noise cancellers and they are pretty stellar with awesome build quality and very long lasting battery. Downside is the price @ £380! Didn't try the B&O's but imagine they are equally as good.
