answer:I suggest Bose products. They are pricey, but I call them ‘kid cancelling’ because for the duration of time I wear them I forget I have children. Of course there are dangers associated with not being able to hear one’s children, so use in moderation. Incidentally, when I was first getting my ‘feet wet’ with Bose headphones, I bought an old set on Ebay for $100. I was impressed with the comfort and the efficiency, I used them in Afghanistan, and on a C-130 they were fabulous to have, I guess I could have called them C-130 cancelling. The headband on that set broke (I would estimate them to have been about 10 years old). I bought the set that I have now brand new for around 300$. Love them. A must have for any father who has daughters. When there is a 12 year old emotional meltdown…I run for them!!
