Re: BEST noise cancelling headphones?

The Aiwa HP-CN6 are great sounding headphones and I'd use them even if they weren't noise cancelling. It's also my impression that when they're in the noise cancelling mode they invert polarity. Sony owns Aiwa and has discontinued them and has there own version with a similar model number with an N6 in it and they are also similar in construction but don't have as good high frequency response. They're also quite efficient and will work well with portable CD players and can even work off the line output of most regular CD players with and an adapter and if necessary a headphone volume control that you may purchase at Radio Shack. They rest on the ears and are relatively light weight and fold up for carrying. They both have an MSRP of $59.99 but sound better to me than any other headphone regardless of price that I've heard recently.
