Not bad for cancelling office noise1133980180

Pros:

comfortable, works for most noise-cancelling

Cons:

can still hear office conversations, expensive

I bought these headphones because I work in a somewhat noisy office environment where it is hard to concentrate. They do a pretty decent job of cancelling out office conversations but they definitely don't remove the noise completely. I've heard that they work better for cancelling out noise that has a constant tone, for example airplane engines, but I have not tried this yet.
The sound quality is great - I generally use them to listen to MP3s from my Yahoo! Music Unlimited online service. They are extremely comfortable to wear. However, at $299, I think they're a little over-priced.
