On an entirely different tack, I bought some Senheiser noise cancelling hedphones over the weekend from Richer Sounds. Sort of impulse buy really, and they seem to be selling like proverbial hot cakes at the moment. They cost me eighty quid, which seemd a bit exstravegant at the time. I can report they are very effective. intructions, (very visual) in the text part made much of the stress caused by environmental noise. I hadn't really noticed if I am honest, but on turning the box on, the immediate reduction of noise on the train or bus was certainly noticable. Even if you are not actually listening to anything, these headphones can actually be used to tame the cocoffony when traveling. On the audio side, the quality is good, and there is a slight boost in sound level too. That's useful, given the limited output of some portable MD/cassette players. In all, a very worthwhile buy.
