[Shop-talk] Noise cancelling headphones

[Arvid]

Have those.

Not great as just a passive noise reducing headset. Doesn't seal around the ears as well as I would like.

Not great as a active noise cancelling headset but I am comparing it to my Bose X aviation headset so the bar is pretty high.

Not great as a stereo headset. I have earbuds that sound better.

Having said all that, I don't know of anything is any better in that price range. They are reasonably sturdy and the user interface is usable, if not particularly easy to use with gloves on.

If they ever die I'll get another set rather than spend any time researching something else.
