NFT: New Headphones

vandynyg11 : 4/18/2015 7:54 pm
Looking for a nice pair of wireless headphones for the gym, as well as a pair of noise canceling, wireless headphones for air travel. Any suggestions on best blend of quality / affordability?

Appreciate the insight guys.
Get yourself a good set of ear buds for the gym and when you fly

just put these bad boys over them. -28 dB is way more noise reduction than noise cancelling headphones and they are less than 20 bucks.

the ear cancellation is great on planes (I fly almost every week) but the audio quality is poor. if you want good sound quality these are not for you.

the other negative is that they take up a lot of room in your carry on. a couple of my friends have gone to the Bose in ear noise canceling system (buds) but I doubt they sound any better.

the idea of getting great ear buds (especially wireless) and then those butt-ugly over ear lawnmower headphones might be the way to go.
Thats a great idea Marty

I dislike noise cancelling headphones because they are usually heavy. For $15- I going to give your suggestion a whirl.

Plantronics Backbeat Fit. So far I love them. Not noise canceling (since I run outdoors I like to be able to still "hear" my surroundings). I love them while lifting too...no damn wires getting in the way anymore!
