Every single week this is posted, the thing I see is basically beats by Dre or Bose. A couple people throw out some brand very few people have heard of and that's about it

It doesn't help you but I really want these
While you can find better sounding headphones for less than Bose every review I saw said if you want noise canceling to get the Bose QC. I have the QC 20i's and they're great.

I've had these for years. Used to have a job traveling 75% of the time and I used these on planes all the time. Also at work when people forgot how to control the volume of their voice. I would buy another pair in a heartbeat. Customer service is really good too. After a long time, the pads on the ears started to come apart so I emailed the company outside of the warranty period and they mailed me a new set of pads for free. Highly recommend.

Bose Bose Bose. Invest more and get the $300 ones if you can. I got them as a Christmas present and they're amazing. Put on a little music and you couldn't hear a fire alarm

I got these Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones on sale for $124 and love them. There is a newer version now for like $170
ETA: Whoops guess these aren't noise canceling technically, but they block out pretty much all noise for me.

Save an extra $110 and buy the Bose S5 noise cancelling headphones. U can often catch them on sale for $260. The noise cancelling and sound quality cannot be beat.
Also check out Plantronic Backbeat Pro. Can find for $199. Noise cancellation not as good but are bluetooth if that is a need.

What are you using them for first of all? I have several pairs of headphones, I like the in-ears for working out but on an airplane they can make it tough to balance the pressure in your ears. I prefer over-ear models for flying or listening to music at work.

1) consider your actual need for noise-canceling headphones. If you're going with an over-ear sealed set of cans, active noise canceling may not be necessary. And adding active noise canceling will up the price $80-100 for little to no impact on the quality of the sound.
2) there are several brands with good over-ear offerings in this range. audio technica, Sony, and Sennheiser have great offerings in this range.
3) check out Inner Fidelity's Wall of Fame. They give very good and rather unbiased reviews, and they break down headphones and earbuds by category and compare them against similar products.
4) if you're around NOLA, check out the Best Buy on Veteran's Blvd. it's got a Magnolia Center (many elsewhere, but I believe that's the only one in LA), which means they have a good selection of higher-end audio equipment, especially headphones. You can actually put your hands on several pairs of headphones that you wouldn't find many other places and form your own opinion.

Checkout AKG and Sennheiser.

Harmon Kardin's are on sale at Amazon today. Good looking headphones with noise cancellation feature.

I need noise cancelling and bluetooth for the healthclub to drown out the horrible loud music there. The bose w/bluetooth dont sound very good.
Using my Plantronics and to be honest they are kind of heavy.
