What is the dB isolation of the HD-25 and how does it compare to the noise canceling headphones. I have been trying to convert a couple of Bose “tin can” users to real headphones nirvana and I have let them use my HD-25 and HD555 cans. They like the sound quality but are stuck on the isolation thing. I have not yet tried the Bose headphones, but I feel my HD-25 with music playing at very low volume levels block out just about everything. If the difference between noise canceling and regular sealed headphones is not that great then the extra power required for the canceling feature, and the fact that the sound is synthesized makes me believe noise canceling is more of a marketing hype then a true advantage. Any thoughts on the matter?
