Hi Tyler! Yes, this helps a lot! Thanks so much! I'm not looking for a
microphone, so these sound like a good possibility. Do you happen to recall
what you payed for them?
Thanks again,
Russell

AblePlannet nc400 headphones. Or maybe it was 300d or c, I forget, but I own
them and have owned them for going on 3 years.
Pros:
Basically everything. The microphones are located behind the protective
plate, so wind noise doesn't effect these at all.
The cord is detachable; if you want to swap out the cord it comes with with a
3.5 to 3.5 cable, you can; I'm using the one that came with an old mp3 player
in 2006.
The cord it does come with has a volume control right on it.
It comes with a hard case and also a soft bag to put the headphones and all
the attachments (so you can use it on planes or the bigger headphone ports - I
forget what they're called, 5.5 inch?).
Durable, and more durable! These things feel like a pair of 300 dollar
headphones when you put them on.
cons:
The only con I can think of is that, and this may not be for some people, you
enable the noise cancelation this also raises the voume of the sound. It also
gets rid of some of the bass - but not much - did I mention these things have
amazing sound quality?
They are a tad bulky - they don't fold up, but the pros far outweigh the
cons, in my opinion.
No, they don't have a microphone. I'm not sure if you're looking with a
noise cancelation headset with one - though not sure they make them.
hope this helps
Tyler

Hi all,
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good set of noise canceling headphones
that will work both on the Mac and Windows platform? I'm not looking for
bluetooth or wireless, but the wired variety. We are moving locations at work,
and the space we are moving to is open, with not much privacy. I'd like a set
of headphones that block out most of the external noise. I'd also like
headphones that cover the entire ear, and are comfortable to wear all day long.
It would be an added benefit if the headphones didn't cost much over $150
or so.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Russell
