Blocking out the Noise: Headphones and Earphones
June 16, 2006
Noise reduction headphones make any trip more comfortable–the longer the trip, the more helpful they are. During my wild youth, right between college and reality (an office job), I took a backpacking trip through Europe. On the flight over, I was given some noise reduction earphones that I used just about every day for two and a half months.
International travel should be mandatory: it’s an eye-opening experience without parallel. But it’s also an ear-closing experience. Planes, trains, boats, and buses wear on the nerves after a few days, to say nothing of the crowds. Have you been to Greece during the summer? It’s a festival of noise. Read the rest of this entry »

In 1984, John Josef, a Los Angeles session drummer, decided that he needed to overcome the problem of having his headphones loud enough without leaking sound into the sensitive studio microphones. So much time and money was being wasted through constant trips to and from the control room to audition his takes, and re-takes.
As a result of his hard work and dedication, the Extreme Isolation EX29 Headphones were developed, passively reducing external noise by an incredible 29dB. Instantly, he was able to listen to a studio mix or a backing track at a comfortable volume, whilst hearing exactly what he was playing. Because of their excellent noise rejection, the EX29 Headphones allow the user to monitor sound at lower levels, thus protecting their hearing, and also considerably reducing fatigue in long sessions.
Of course, there are many other applications that the EX29 Headphones are perfect for; Home Studio musicians can record live instruments whilst sat next to their mixer, Sound Engineers can monitor the mix without hearing the main loudspeakers, and foldable earpieces mean that DJ’s can hear the monitor and live mix whilst cueing up tracks.
Extreme Isolation EX29 Headphones are a practical and cost effective solution to any situation in which the user wants to be isolated from external noise. http://www.omnisonic.co.uk/
