    I think a pair of noise-reduction headphones needs to be actually connected to something in order to work, but other than that I salute the idea ;)

    Actually Bose makes a pair that can JUST eliminate the background noise. Great for sleeping on the Plane or Train!

    I have something better and cheaper than noise-reduction headphones: I have taught my daughters that, if they see me wearing headphones, unless it’s an actual emergency, I’m having “private time”. (We have a very small apartment, so it’s the only way I can do it.)

    I tested a couple of models of noise reduction headphones in a store that was selling them a few years ago. They reduced background sounds but did not eliminate them. I don’t know whether they’ve gotten better since then, but I kind of doubt it.

    Earplugs don’t block out noises, they just reduce them. The Bose ones are the absolute best on the market. They block out everything. I’m a Bose person though and have their home theater systems in both rooms where the TV’s are, and their headphones and earbuds. I even have the computer system on my computer. 100% Bose. Jimbo must make good money though because those noise blocking headphones aren’t cheap.

    V-Moda, though they don’t completey block out all noise, they reduce most of it. Plus the music and sound quality is so, so much better than Bose.

    No I do not work for Bose, but I feel that if you like something, use it and can recommend it to others, then do so. If others like another product better, that’s fine. I was just giving my opinion.

    Given that I work in a public library, the notion of “the quiet ambiance of a public library” makes me snicker.
