[bcab] Re: Active noise cancelling earphones

Hello Barry

They are PXC 150s, I think, but yes, they do have a big bar thing you switch on 
and off. The Philips do sound a better bet.

Tony

  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.

    Regards
    Isaac
