[Elecraft] Noise Cancelling Headphones

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The audio seems just fine on typical aircraft program material with no
obvious distortion to my "tin ears". The fact that I can turn the program
volume down to normal levels and hear just fine or end the constant, high dB
assault on my ears when I'm not listening at all is the overriding factor to
me. 

Fortunately I have a very quiet shack so I've never used them there.

I've never tried noise cancelling headphones, so my one question is, does
anyone detect ANY effect to the desired audio?  In other words, any
"Noise-Blanker"  effects or coloration of the audio?
I would suppose that, since they're designed for music, the noise cancelling
function is transparent, right?

On the very few flights I've taken recently, I successfully used my old Sony
MDR-7506's.  Maybe I don't know what I'm missing by NOT using a noise
cancelling set.
