jimboy2 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm after a new set of over ear headphones after breaking ANOTHER set on a airplane. Why they put the jack next to your thigh I will never know!! The last set were Klipsch, I had never heard of them before but after trying a few these sounded great and were great value. Next set I think I want a set of noise cancelling. Amy recomendations? Naturally looked at Bose, quiet comfort 25 came up top on amazon. I really only use them when traveling and when watching videos on my iPad when the mrs doesn't want to be disturbed. I'm not really a brand whore so will consider anything really, except beats... Thanks Quote
HEADPHONES Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Bose often give a 30 day money back trial. For travelling on planes and the underground I found them hard to beat for noise cancellation. I have the QC3. Had them so long I'm on my 2nd set of replacement earpads........we like serviceable parts :wink: Me and a mate tested them against builders ear defenders while using an SDS drill on a wall and the Bose kept more noise out Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I have a set of these . . . http://www.bose.ca/c...rt_20/index.jsp and a set of these . . . http://www.bose.ca/c...hones/index.jsp Cant fault either, I use the i20's for traveling as the noise cancellation is utterly amazing Edited March 30, 2015 by DoogyRev Quote
Stutopia Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Worth a look - http://www.whathifi.com/news/best-over-ear-headphones-to-buy-in-2014 I find WH to be quite fair and even handed in thier reviews. Quote
glrnet Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 What Doogy said about the i20's, they are the dogs, best in ear headphones I've had Quote
jimboy2 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I hate wearing in ears. Can never get them comfortable. We have a Bose store nearuas, so will go try some out over the weekend. Edited March 31, 2015 by jimboy2 Quote
RobPhoboS Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 So that you don't brake the cable on the actual headphones/earphones (better on planes) - just buy a small extension cable or two. 2 Quote
Neilp Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I have the klipsch image one (ii) and absolutely love them. Really wish I went for Bluetooth in ear headphones though, so I could use at the gym also. Quote
sipar69 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 For anyone who fancies grabbing a set of some the best in-ear earphones around I will be doing an ad in the for sale section for some of these beauties in the next few days. http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/earphones-high-end-hifi-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-80 They are phenomenal (retail for over £200).

Grundy Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 If you want to be outside the box....I've got these, sound is awesome, and are so comfy! Although thats a headset, they do just do headphones http://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/gaming-audio Quote
Daryl Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Iv got a set of Goldring NS something. Were rated almost as good at the Bose noise cancelling ones, but less than half the price. http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-13764-goldring-ns1000-expedition-noise-cancelling-portable-headphones.aspx Quote
Daryl Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Had these for a few years, and they are great. The cable also is detachable, so if you break it, you just get a new cable Quote

Really wish I went for Bluetooth in ear headphones though, so I could use at the gym also. They are the same as I had. Really liked them. Comfortable and great sound. Had never heard of them before either. So that you don't brake the cable on the actual headphones/earphones (better on planes) - just buy a small extension cable or two. Yep will be buying one of these with them also. Was so annoyed when it snapped. Quote

May order them and try them out. Doubt I will find a store that has them in stock to demo. Quote

jimboy2 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I'm a electronics engineer also, so had no excuse. Being awake for about 30 hours and a 10hour flight didn't help my mood so they went in the bin lol Quote
