    As above,

    I want a set for online poker would you believe? I usually listen to music with my inear phones just plugged into my laptop as I play and sometimes my i-pod. I'm finding wearing them all day is a bit uncomfortable and they don't do much for background noise....kids screaming etc!!!

    I'm looking for a set of noise cancelling ones.
    Models I've looked at are
    Bose QC3 (would love em but cant bring myself to pay the price at €399
    Sennheiser PXC 250 at € 150 but they have an external battery pack (not sure if I'd like this)
    Sennheiser PXC 150 at €99 (more my price range)

    Any of you have any of the above or any other recommendations?

    Many thanks,

    Mac

    Bose QC3 would be the greatest waste of money ever , you can spend a fraction and get a set of headphones that will smash the bose for sound quality.I wouldnt be to bothered on nessecarily getting a pair of noise cancelling headphones unless you were going for IEMs just look for a pair of closed headphones instead.Just a couple of examples ,you can go cheaper again in this range just have a look about.

    shure e3c's. Had a few sennheisers, these blow them away...excellent, the new e2gs are better than my senns too and are less than the e3c's
