best lawn mower headphones image
Mike
I do a lot of lawn mowing on a riding lawn mower, and would really like to be able to listen to music while mowing. What are some good inexpensive ($50 or less) over ear headphones that would block out the sound from the mower so that I don't have to crank up the volume too loud?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
You need a closed-back design like the Sennheiser HD205...around £35 in UK. $45 in USA

The HD200 series headphones are of good quality apart from the cheapest 201 which isn't a great success by Sennheiser standards, and includes models like the 215 and 218 used in many professional studios..
215 on here 7 lines down and I now have some 570s....whooopeeeeeee!

There are also the 300, 400 etc series headphones with the some of the 600 series phones costing over $300, and the extra special limited edition electrostatic headphone and matching amplifier individually hand built and matched to be perfect partners ...as near as possible with current technology.
....the Sennhieser Orpheus at $20 000+ new....if you can find some.

Only 300 were made making the resale price very high. This one, with two headphones, went for more than $26 000 second-hand.

It's only rival for sound quality is the Stax Omega 11 for the price of a couple of decent ride-on lawnmowers but the Sennheiser HD800 comes close enough to the Stax for a third of the price.

My favourite ( back to affordable kit) is the HD570 Symphony headphones but they are now discontinued and hard to find ( took me months to track some down) , and I also use the HD 580 and HD595 for serious listening, and the HD500 as everyday big phones, which all completely cover the ears and keep external noise at bay reasonably well, and the smaller HD25 for traveling....the same model as was used on all Concorde flights...which are also good at suppressing external noise but don't cover the ears completely like the 205 and the others mentioned.

You can also get noise canceling headphones but those that work well tend to be very expensive.
Ordinary terms (high street terms) expensive that is, not ultra-crazy expensive like the Orpheus.

I need a good pair of headphones to wear while mowing the lawn.?
Bryan B
I am looking for something to deaden the roar of the lawn mower but I don't want to have to turn them up to mind blowing volume. Does anyone know if active noise cancelling headphones will do this? Any suggestions (active NC or sound isolating) will be appreciated.
Answer
Noise cancelling earphones work extremely well if you buy the right kind. They tend to run pretty expensive but I tell you right now it is definitely worth it if you have the money. Go to Radio Shack some day and bring a player with you with your regular earphones... ask them to let you try one of their decent sets of noise cancelling and just see the differents. It's something. I'm always yelling at people 'cause I can't hear my own voice. Haha.
