Noise Cancelling Headphones

[Pared]

Looking to buy a pair... what have you guys used and can suggest?

I have a pair of Bose QuietComfort2's and I absolutely love 'em. No issues whatsoever. However, looking to invest in another pair that are:

1) Over the ear
2) Not above $200

Any ideas?

I have a quick question about noise cancelling headphones, not to hijack your thread. do these things stop people from hearing your music if they are next to you? like do they make it quiet on the outside too?

Yes. They are more for canceling noise from the outside to your ears though. Not 100% but a good pair minimizes external sound immensely.

Yes you won't hear anything if you aren't wearing them. I don't have noise cancelling ones because those mainly are only over the ear and require batteries. I have sound isolating ones that are in ear, are small, don't require batteries, and don't distort the sound by adding the sound waves to cancel the noise.
