[Scan-DC] Headphones for NASCAR

Check out Bose noise reducing headphones.  You can plug them into your
electronic device (e.g. scanner, walkman), and it also drowns out outside
noise using a technique where incoming noise is matched by an equal and
opposite tone to cancel out the signal together.

You mean ear-buds type of headphones? Don't think they put out enough
sound. You'd have to use headsets with a band as the shooting muffs
would dig them into your head.

The Radio Shack headsets they sell for this worked great for me at
Dover. I used a Yaesu VR-500 and a "Y" adapter to drive 2 RS high noise
headsets. The variable volume on them lets each person adjust then they
way they like. The VR-500 drove them with more than enough audio.

Would headphones designed for shooting (think of an indoors shooting
range) work? I am wondering if they would fit over a pair of
Walkman-style headphones. The Walkman-type headphones would bring in the
audio from the scanner, while the shooting headphones would block the
ambient sounds. Awkward, but effective.
