Noisebuster Extreme 102130091 Portable Stereo Headphones

Summary: Save My Hearing!
Review: These headphones use active technology to reduce outside noise. I choose them because the price is much lower than the similar Bose product. Since I did not buy both, I cannot say which is the best. They are terrific on an interstate highway or on an airplane. It is most effective at cancelling out low rumbles and hums. It is less effective at cancelling out conversations around you. The batteries have a long life, but when they finally wear out, you can still use these as ordinary headphones. You do need power to get the active noise reduction. The unit is compact, and it includes an adapter to use it with the sound system on an airliner. If you don't want to listen to music, you can turn on noise cancellation without hooking it up to a music source. If it came with a good carrying case and if I knew it was better than Bose, I would give it five stars.
