The latest digital, think they're still siemens. Haven't used in the ear noise cancelling ones, but have got over the head cancelling cans, and they leek lots - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Moore To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 9:01 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Headphones What aids do you have? Have you also considered in the ear headphones with noise cancellation?

I use the Sennheiser HD228-2 and they clamp your head nice and tight making the sound a bit louder. A better solution which would create less leakage is to see if your hearing aids (if you wear them that is) supports a streamer. Phonak have one for their devices it is called the iCom and is brilliant. I even use it for listening to JAWS babble on at work and still able to hear what is going on in the office. It also has a built in Microphone and uses bluetooth too. Oticon have just brought one out for their aids and Siemens has had one out for a while.

Do you have a hearing impairment? Always best to go for closed back headphones as they leak a lot less sound than open back. Also what do you plan to drive these headphones? Is it for listening to your iPod on the go? or just listening to music / tv in a fixed location at home? How much are you prepared to pay?

I need a pair I can use that won't disturb others sitting near by. Thanks - Andy
