Agreed. As a sound professional, let me second that you should
pretty much never use noise cancelling headphones. If you’re looking
for a sturdy, quality set of monitoring headphones, I’d also recommend
the Sony MDR 7506. It sounds good, it’s compact, and has a nice coiled
cable to stay out of the way. It’s pretty much an industry standard,
and typically you can find it for around $99 retail, so it won’t break
your bank.
