Worth My Money

I picked up a pair of these at Office Depot for $40 recently after a friend recommended them. The noise cancellation effect really gave my previous headphones (some old earplug types) a kick in the butt. I generally use these late at night on my computer. Being a night-owl gamer isn't easy in a dormitory or apartment when you really want to be blasted out of your seat by sound. They did the trick nicely, I must say. No one hears what I'm watching / listening to / playing, and the noise cancellation effect works beautifully for my needs. My computer belts out this horrible loud hum from all the fans and crap, which the headphones will filter out nearly completely. All that is left is a soft drone that even the lowest amount of volume will overtake.

They've come in handy at work too. My cube neighbor hates my angry aggressive rock and incessant techno (his words.) Now, he doesn't have anything to worry about.
