[bcab] Re: Active noise cancelling earphones

Hi

I use mine usually for an hour at a time but used them a number of times on
a five hours aeroplane journey - no problems.

Regards
Isaac

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,
         
        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.

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