The Reviews
Sony MDR-NC11 Fontopia Noise Canceling Headphones with In-line Volume Control
Small enough to keep with you at all times and ideal for achieving peace and quiet in planes, trains, buses, and cars, Sony's MDRNC11 noise-canceling Fontopia ear-bud headphones reduce perceived outside noise by more than 70 percent (up to 10 dB at 300 Hz) so you can hear musical nuances against a quieter background.
The headphones' noise-canceling circuit senses outside noise using tiny, built-in microphones and sends an equal-but-opposite canceling signal to the headphone drivers, effectively blocking solid-state (continuous) noise from 50 to 1,000 Hz. It's especially effective on noises like air-conditioning systems, freeway rumble, and airplane engines (from a passenger's perspective).
The switchable noise-canceling circuitry runs for approximately 60 hours on a single AAA alkaline battery. When noise canceling is off, the headphones continue to function for standard music listening (and with slightly better sound quality). An inline volume control lets you adjust the sound without having to access your sound source.

Sennheiser PC150 Binaural Noise Cancelling Over the Head PC Headset
Already well-known in the audiophile community for their high-end
headsets, the PC 150 marks the first Sennheiser product designed
specifically for the gaming community. Most gaming headsets are
created with price as the first priority, resulting in units that
either don't sound great or simply fall apart quickly. The PC 150
is admittedly a little on the steep side, but offers gamers quality
sound and essential features in a package that was designed to last.
The PC 150 is equipped with a 3.5 mm stereo jack to fit all standard
sound cards, noise-canceling, in-line volume control, and a built-in
microphone for games with voice support. Talking smack to the guy
you just hosed with a flak cannon never sounded so good!
