More About Headphones (and Purchasing)
I know, I know, you're thinking, this guy never shuts up about headphones. Well if one post ever 3 years is too much for you, you better find yourself another blog.
Here's what I'm in the market for:
1) Pair of headphones that I can wear on the bus. Noise canceling would be great, but not critical. Bluetooth/wireless, also great, but not necessary. Current leader of the pack?
Normally I hate inner ear things, they always seem to hurt after wearing them for too long. But these are very cheap and seem to fit the bill (wearable on the bus, wrap up nicely)
2) Pair of headphones for listening at work all day. Yes, I'll be creating a bionic office eventually, but for now the new company I'm working on is cubes only. This means in order to get any work done, I need to strap them on. Requirements: Comfortable to wear for 8 straight hours, noise canceling. Nice to have: Bluetooth/wireless + recharging cradle. Current leader of the pack?
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Basically, these are the highest rated according to the various online mags I read, but they seem pretty good.
As another aside, why is it that there isn't a great review site for stuff like this with UGC. Am I just missing it? I mean AVSForums is great, but there's no place to vote stuff up to the top. What am I missing?
