Hey guys, I am looking for a good noise cancellation headphone for my MP3. I've done some research on internet. The Audio Techinca ATH-ANC7 is sold at around $100 which is already a good deal. But things surprise me even more is that the Avid headphones are very, very cheap. They're only for $20, which I can't believe my eyes. I am just wondering if they have similar qualities. I am trying to find the review for those Avid headphones, but none has written any. I am also wondering why are they sell at such low prices? Thank you.

Three different Avids:
Model NC-15: Travel with AVID Products: Model NC-15 Active Noise-Canceling Headphones

Noise Cancellation Multimedia Headset: Comfort fit Multimedia Computer HeadphoneTravel with AVID Products:

Model EJ-1: Travel with AVID Products: Model EJ-1

or

Audio Techinca ATH-ANC7 Noise Canceling Headphones

First, why do you want active NC headphones? In many cases, closed-back headphones or IEMs will suffice, with better SQ.

Cheap doesn't equal to good sounding. At least I am sure ANC7 sound pretty decent for its price.

If you don't have any specific reason that restricts your choice to only ANC headphones, I'll advice you follow Jonathan's suggestion.

I just heard that closed-back headphones may effect the sound quality and I don't really know much about Canalphones. I am wondering if you can recommend some good deal Canalphones?
