I got these headphones based on a ThisNext recommendation.

Works exactly as advertised- kills most background noise. What makes these great is everything else. Very solidly built, super comfortable, and great sound. Way cheaper than Bose headphones too. I highly recommend these headphones.

I love music and I love headphones that take me away from the world I'm in. Audio Technica's QuietPoint headphones do just that. These babies knock 85% of the noise just by having them ON! That's a winner in my books. Great for listening to music or just throwing them on to get some peace and quiet.

I also like the fact that it has a detachable cord..no more tripping and destroying your headphones as you walk around. (via Uncrate)

The Audio Technica QuietPoint comes with Active Noise Cancelling hardware to bring your focus more to your music, where it belongs.
