heres a fun way to ruin a good song...

Noise canceling headphones SUCK. Well I'm sure the expensive ones are good.... but these....

are awful....
and here is why:

1.  I can't put both of them in at work because then I can't hear the phone. (yes I can with both in with the regular ipod ones) So I have to put one in, but then I only hear half the harmony, or half the instruements. 
2. The other day I was walking up to my car on campus, minding my own business, and the two boys in front of me moved over to the edge of the road, I keep walking for a minute and then turned around to see a large truck right behind me. Didn't hear it driving up at all. I felt like an idiot. 
3. or the worst.....when chewing and every single bite is heard louder than the music.... and this is the one that I think is specific to these headphones. Its horrible. I hate chewing. I hate chewing. I hate chewing. I hate listening to people chew.... I changed my whole morning schedule in high school just so I didn't have to eat breakfast/listen to slurping at the same time as my father. (love him) The last thing I want to do is listen to my own teeth chomp pretzels while i'm trying to listen to music.
