Hi there: I've just signed up, after a lot of poking around in various forums trying to figure out which way to go. I had a pair of what seemed like pretty good no-name noise-canceling headphones (branded Brookstone but obviously they didn't make 'em) that died a while back. So I'm looking to replace them, with a maximum price tag of $100.
Details:
Music: 90% classical music, otherwise podcasts and a music miscellany that never gets very head-bangy
Source: New iPod classic
Environment: Mostly taking walks, either outdoors or on a home treadmill; otherwise mowing the lawn, other yardwork, vacuuming the house, that kind of stuff.
Other: 1) I wear glasses, 2) I have a fairly large head, 3) Isolation is certainly a consideration, but sound leakage isn't
What I don't want:
Earbuds
Portable amp
I think noise-canceling will be a requirement, but if something will cut down the outside noise a lot without the NC I'm certainly willing to consider it.
I hope I'm not asking the same thing that 47 others have asked in the past week, but if so I apologize. My thanks in advance!
Bill.
