    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    Now that the weather is improving, the neighbour's kids will no doubt be out in the garden screaming their heads off. I'm looking for ways of dealing with this which don't involve cross-bows and flame-throwers. I plan to move at some point next year, so I just need to get through the summer.

    I've been looking at noise-cancelling headphones, but they seem to work mainly with low-frequency noises, which the bastards' (I call them "the bastards") screaming probably isn't.

    Can anyone recommend noise cancelling headphones that work with a wide range of frequencies?

          I'm alright Jack

            Noise cancelling headphones won't stop the screaming. Ear plugs will help.


            But if you want headphones, Sennheiser M2 AEBT are hard to beat (and you can use them via USB on your computer for conference calls)

              Bose are good. Never tried the Sennheisers though.

                Thought about approaching this from a different angle?

                  You have to lie and say it's a version of hide and seek.

                    Tried both. Totally hate the sound of them . The noise cancelling is great for plane, but once you hear something better....
