[bcab] Re: Active noise cancelling earphones

Tony,
 
I had those Zenhisers for about a week a few years back.  Are the PX200's or
some such?  You turn the noise cancelling on on this big plastic bar thing
attached to the leed, it initially sounds like and felt liea pressure in my
ears.
 
i ditched them they made me feel ill.
 
Barry.

Hello
 
A couple of years or so ago I bought a pair of active headphones by
Sennheiser - not as cheap and cannot change the earpieces. I was (and am)
impressed by their quality, particularly for travelling. However, I noticed
that after prolonged use - say 7 hours odd at a stretch - that I started to
get a form of tinitis. I could hear a permanent slight hissing in my ears
which persisted after I stopped listening. It would gradually fade (taking
about a week) but instantly re-appear if I used the phones for more than an
hour or so before it had faded completely.
 
This may be due to the Book Courier rather than the phones (or anno domini!)
and listening for shorter times (say 4 hours or so) doesn't give a problem.
 
Anyone else found this or is it just me?
 
Regards
Tony

Hello all
 
The following may be of interest to you if you travel in noisy environments.
 
A few months ago I bought Philips SHN2500 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

from Argos for just under £20.
 
These earphones come with rubber seals in three sizes which you attach at
the tip of the earpiece to fit the size of your ear.  It operates using a
small battery (supplied).
I found these earphones effective on the train and in airplanes and can
recommend this - the rubber seal prevent a lot of noise entering the ear
canal from the outside environment and the noise cancelling system does the
rest - it is not perfect but very good in my opinion - certainly for the
price.
You can find more about it here:

Some of the reviews are not good but I love these.
