Man that guy sure is friendly and amicable, a lesser man would have added a little, "Fuck Ya'll Sennheiser!" at the end.....

yeah, his voice is grating though, so he probably just figured that was enough.

also sweet idea / execution, pretty damn lucky with the snap off pieces though

Well, being a proud Sennheiser owner, I wouldn't say it's a fair comparison. He's comparing what are essentially circumaural headphones (his creation) to supra-aural headphones (the Senns.) Of course the ones that cover the entire ear will give a better insulation from noise than ones that don't. The big difference comes from the quality of the audio coming from the headphones. I'd be willing to bet that the Senns sound a LOT better in quality than the inexpensive ones. You do get what you pay for after all . . .

Still, I'll upvote for the MacGyver action.

also these are NOT noise-canceling headphones, only noise-reducing. They may be more effective than that sennheisers, but call it what it is.

agree with themadcreator. I thought maybe this was going to have a link to software that you could download for your laptop or something that would do the active cancellation for you, which seemed quite unlikely. Consider that even a pro-audio ASIO driver still has 2-3ms latency, even if your algorithym is SUPER fast, by the time 3 milliseconds have gone by to record, then three more to playback, you've lost sync with the noise that you're trying to cancel out, and you just end up making it louder.

So yes, these are noise blocking headphones, not noise cancelling headphones.

Nothin beats Bose QC2s!

nah...I like a good ol' fashioned pillow duct-taped around my head. Keeps the noise out and the pain from blows to the side of my head to a minimum.
