Best headphones
After researching noise cancelation and noise reduction headphones, I have concluded that the Direct Sound Extreme Isolation Headphones are the best headphones for blocking noise and providing excellent quality sound. For example, the EX-29 headphones block 29dB noise. Other popular headphones such as the Bose headphones or Audio-Technica headphones only block about 17db. Also the sound quality is better on the Direct Sound headphones because you don’t hear that swooshing noise that active noise cancelation headphones make. There are no headphones that will totally block out sound so, if you aren’t listening to any audio, you can still hear background noise no matter what headphones you choose. When you buy from QuietHeadphones.com, you get a free White Noise MP3. Listening to the white noise at a low level with the EX-29 headphones really does block out virtually all background noise. IMHO these noise cancelation headphones are the best both in value and in performance.
