I bought these headphones for work to help block out the unbelievably irritating noises that you cannot ignore in a massive open plan office. At work I am surrounded by people who think I want to listen to them whistle, sing, put conference calls on speaker phone, or listen to their music so loud on cheap headphones you can hear their music from 4 desk away. All little noises that build up slowly to drive your average office worker mad :)
I had your average headphones that came with my iPod and no matter how loud I played my music you could still hear all the ambient noise.
Then came the sennheiser's. The are wonderful. I put them on, flip the noiseguard switch and nearly all the background noise goes away. I can listen to music at a much lower volume but still don't hear what's going on around me. Also because of the ear pieces' design my co-workers can't hear my music either. It does also mean I don't notice the people who hover behind me waiting to ask a question unless they knock on my desk - but that's a plus in my book :)
They are absolutely amazing. They are a little bulky compared to the more popular "in-ear" headphones but that's a trade off for the quality of the sound and the noiseguard.
I would thouroughly recommend these headphones.

I debated whether to get the original version of these very lightweight headphones but was glad I waited untill these became available and do not regret paying more than what the older version is now selling for. They are well made and very comfortable in use and fold beautifully (after a short learning curve) into a robust carrying pouch which can also carry a small I Pod or similar. The thin cable irritates some people, but I found it easy to extract from the pouch and stuff back in. The new, smaller battery case and control pod is not at all a nuisance - clips easily on your shirt or just dangles with hardly any weight. Sound quality and range is good for most music styles (I have broad tastes) and the noise cancelling very effective if not complete - but then you wouldn't expect total isolation with small over the ear phones. I used them on a long haul flight to Cuba - did the job perfectly - hardly noticed them on my head!

These work really well. The noise cancelling works very well on aeroplanes and trains. There is just about zero leakage from the 'phones so your neighbours are not irritated.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

These headphones are very light and take little space in your bag. Their noise-cancelling function is pretty good considering how compact they are. Read more

Nice size but only really for flights
At this price, finding a good set is really a challenge. However, I would report that purchasing an equally priced Sennheiser set which were just stereo will land you better. Read more
