Re: [OT] Noise cancelling headphones

["Bob Calvert" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ive got the sennheiser pxc250...no problems with them, do the job as
stated on the tin. The headband folds up and you get a pouch and a
airplane adaptor thrown in...takes a pair of AA batteries...I have
used them long haul when the benifits from using the crappy free
headsets are huge as you get the cancellation and better movie
sound..and even on short haul ryanair stints theyre worth taking as
they cut out all that background engine drone that you get.
