My wife managed to get me a pair of Sony NC11A noise cancelling headphones for £40 to use with my i-pod. After trying them out, I've reached the following conclusions:
1). In a quite environment they are no better then the standard i-pod headphones.
2). In a stable noisy environment (i.e. On a train, tube , car etc) they are better than the ipod phones as they do isolate the sound considerably.
3). On foot outside they are worse than the ipod phones because you can hear the thump thump of your feet as you walk, therefore distracting from the music.
So do all noise cancelling phones suffer the walking problem? Should I keep the sonys, or ditch them (wife said she can return them if they are not suitable) for the likes of Shure?
Any comments gratefully received
