Sound Isolating Headphones

Flint · 11-26-2011, 11:46 PM

I'm strongly considering getting a pair of sound isolating headphones to help me study while others watch TV, etc.

Rather that the expensive type such as Bose, with electronic sound processing, I'm looking at models which attenuate enviromental noise physically (think: the cans you wear at a gun range, but with headphone speakers inside).

I was looking at the Direct Sound EX-29, but have pretty much settled on the Sennheiser HD 280. Any experience with either, or other recommendations appreciated.

By the way, found this neat white noise generator via a link in a headphone review.
