I made a topic a long time ago asking what headphones would be suitable for my mom. Well, a long time has past and she still hasn't decided on any but recently she did her own searching and came upon the AT ATH-ANC7. She came up to me and asked me about how well they shut out noise, but I had no clue. I know head-fi'ers generally tend to stay away from noise cancelling headphones, but shutting out as much noise as possible is the absolute highest priority (next to price) for her.
She isn't up for IEM's because of the extra maintenance and wouldn't be ideal for her in her work station (taking them off/on when someone comes up to her).
They can be had for $125 on amazon.com and another guy on the FS forum has them for $109.
What are your guys' opinions? Will they do the job (shut out the noise from her chatty cubicle neighbors)? Are there any better alternatives?
And just to add, the Bose QC3 was way above her budget ($350).
Thanks
