Hey! I found this forum from looking for a new cheap seat of headphones to replace my Sony MDR-NC6 ones (They stuffed up - the chord's so long, it clinged on to something while I was on the treadmille, i accidentally pulled hard and now all the low-end sounds don't show up :[ ).
I've read many reviews to figure that model isn't held with high regard (in terms of noise-cancelling and perhaps sound quality) but for the AU$50 I paid, they sufficed and it beats iPod earphones haha (I've had to revert to them for the meantime - it really is horrible).
So I've had my eye on the Sony MDR-NC7, Sennheiser PXC 150 and Sennheiser HD 202 (although not active-noise cancelling) pairs. I would want to buy online/eBay, but I wondered before I probably buy the NC7 if anybody more knowledgble in this field has any recommendations on decent noise-cancelling headphones - ones that don't stray too far from US$40?
Also what in your opinion what is more effective for noise-cancelling - Active-noise cancelling or sealed/closed-back headphones?
Any help would be much appreciated!
