Looking for a deal on a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones.. not looking for total top of the line $200+, but something more around the $60-$100 range.

I'm also looking for a set that has active noise cancelling, not passive. They're going to be used for straight-up cancelling, not listening to music or anything else.
Any help is appreciated:D

Any help is appreciated:DI would have thought that active noise cancelling would require you to listen to something. Otherwise, surely you'd be better off with a good pair of "earmuffs" of the sort sold as safety equipment?

Hey guys.
I think there's a sale on at The Source at the moment for Skull Candy's which I believe are noise canceling for around $10 +tax.
I've got a pair, they're about middle of the line quality, in-ear and are pretty good especially for the price.

A couple other options you may want to look into are creating your own noise canceling headphones on the cheap.
Lifehacker has had a couple really cool tutorials on it, check em out,

If you need headphones, I am selling my new Sony headphones if you are interested.

Have the exact same query as you a while ago and went with Sony's.

Have flown a few times with them now and am very happy.
