Apologies if this has already been discussed at length (although I've searched and found nothing):
As a daily - 2 x 1 hour - commuter on the London underground (subway, le metro, etc) I'm curious to know how effective the noise-cancelling headphones by Sennheiser, Bose, etc really are. I quickly gave up using closed-back headphones because of intrusive external noise but would love to be able to listen to music or speech of my choice during those two hours of forced inactivity.
The publicity material seems geared towards air travellers, but do such devices work on transport with more variable background noise?
Any input gratefully received.
