I need to buy some nice noise cancelling headphones for monitoring in the field. Just looking for some advice. Thanks in advance!

passive cancelation FTW

awmeyertimmy:
Wow! Those are beautiful. They would be perfect. Now, I just need to sell a kidney and I can go buy them lol

thatjackelliott:
Are we making a distinction between noise-isolating and noise-canceling headphones here?

Gutbucket:
Yes.

I haven't come across an active noise-cancellation headphone with sufficient headroom in it's cancellation circuitry to not clip on high level bass content.

That said, I'm still convinced the ultimate-quality isolation 'phones would use passive isolation combined with active low-frequency isolation to provide a better-tailored, natural sounding isolation response.  It's the only way to sufficiently counter LF leakage so as to achieve as much isolation down low as can be achieved at higher frequencies via occlusion.
