MDR-NC60 Headphones from Sony For tuning out noise while still providing crisp and powerful sound, these around-the-ear-style headphones from Sony do the trick. They feature a noise-canceling circuit that uses built-in microphones to detect outside noise and send an equal-but-opposite canceling signal to the headphones. When switched on, they reduces outside noise by as much as 85%. The headphones come with a travel case and an airplane adapter. To conserve the AAA battery (which lasts up to 30 hours), the noise-canceling effect can be turned off in quieter environments. $199
