Re: [IRCA] Noise cancelling headphones

> I've never found noise cancelling headphones of much use for DXing.  They take out a portion of the frequency response and make DXing more difficult....Walt

When you are DXing next to thundering surf they sure as heck are...

Now when you are snug in your cabin with your feet next to the fire
playing with your perseus, nose reduction is not so important.

You can spent a little or a lot for NC Headphones.
Mine are Maxell's for $50 and they offer little in the way
of actual noise reduction.
Where they shine is on airplanes, trains and industrial areas.

Walt is right - for most DX applications, they do take something
away.
