Hi All, After a week of reading reviews I woke up this morning with every intension of buying a pair of noise cancelling headphones but after adding that thought on this forum i have been guided away from that due to the use i have for my headphones. This now posses a new problem in that i have to decide on a pair. I have a price limit of

Thats great, i wasnt sure if the noise cancelling was the way to go. Would you say that the Sennheisers would be the best in my price range or do you have any other suggestions. Sorry for the questions but i am a bit of a novice on headphones

Hi, thanks for your reply. Basically i want a pair of headphones that i can use for all of my needs. These would include; Listening to my Ipod (i listen to a huge varity of music from Drum and bass, Chart music, Acoustic etc) Using on my Imac (at home and on Planes) for music and videos Home DJ'ing, i have MP3 decks, i usually play house music on those. I listen to my music the majority of the time at home or in the office, but i do travel a bit and would like the option to remove the annoying noises around me (i dont think i will find a pair that will stop the annoying kid kicking the chair behind you on the plane). However the option for noise cancellation is not essential so if this feature greatly reduces the sound quality then i would rather make do without it. Cheers

Hi there, This is my first ever post, not only on this forum but on any forum so please be gentle . I am here because I am at a point where I would like to spend what I would consider a lot of money on a pair of headphones but every shop I have asked to try a pair to ensure I like them they tell me I am unable to. For this reason I need help from people who know what they are talking about . This is currently my shortlist; Sony MDR-NC60 Bose Around-Ear Sennheiser HD25 Mk2 Philips SHN9500/00 My first question is are noise cancelling headphones worth it? With that feature turned on does the sound quality suffer? If this is the case then that eliminates 3 of my four selected. Are these the best I can get for no more than
