The CVS "Noise Canceling Stereo Headphones" were easy to find in the
Clearwater, FL area. The local CVS store had them displayed along side personal
DVD
players. They were $14.95 on special for $9.95.
First of all, they are a reasonable set of phones for $9.95. In series with
the cord there is a control with a volume control, a mute switch, and an
ON/OFF switch for the noise canceling feature. They require one AAA battery,
not
included. The spec states 15 dB of background noise reduction at 300 Hz and
5 dB at 1200 Hz. I do not have a calibrated ear, but they did a good job of
dropping down the TV (and the XYL). They are padded and reasonably
comfortable.
Even without the noise canceling feature, they are as good or better that
any cheap set I have found from Radio Shack.
