Noise Cancelling headphones rock!

I just picked up a pair of Phillips headphones from Best Buy for about $70, and these things kick ass!
I decide to test out the noise-cancelling in my friend's car on the way home, so I put them on and when I switch them on all of the engine noise, road noise, and the sound of the AC just disappear completely. I'm wearing them now and even though my noisy central AC is around the corner I can't hear anything.
Maybe I'm just nerding out about how they neutralize the sound by playing opposite waves... but still, this is pretty cool.

Looks like some of the high-end ones they had at best buy, although the ones you posted are probably better than what they had in the store.
There were some pretty nice ones there oriented towards DJ's and audiophiles, but I'm happy with what I bought.
I went in there looking for a pair made by Altec Lansing, which is a reputable speaker/headphone manufacturer for gaming... but for some reason they didn't carry any Altec Lansing headphones.
Changing subjects: On the way out of the store a guy walked up to me and my friend asking us to buy a rap CD from him (he was trying to get his name out there, so he was selling CD's... and I wound up buying one from him just to help him out, even though I don't listen to rap.
He was a nice guy and all, I just thought the encounter was funny.

I had a pair of noise cancelling headphones from sony that I got several years ago die on me a few weeks ago. They were pretty impressive at first but after awhile they kinda sucked then stopped working. I believe it was new technology then. Yours are probably way better (and less expensive)
