Customize Your Cord Length

Used By NBCOnly available from QuietHeadphones.com, you can select a 9ft cord or a 40 inch cord for your headphones. If you use your headphones at your computer or with an iPod/MP3 player you might find the 9ft cord to be a bit long and cumbersome. The 40 inch cord (slightly longer than 3 feet) is less likely to snag or get tangled when moving around. We are the only Direct Sound Dealer who can offer the 40 inch cord option. Both the 9ft cord and the 40 inch cord are made from the same premium, heavy duty material and only differ in length.

This is 29dB of Noise Reduction!

We have developed the following audio clips to demonstrate the extreme noise reduction provided by the EX29 Extreme Isolation headphones. When you listen to the first audio clip, the volume starts out at 0dB, as if you were listening normally to the drums. After about 10 seconds, the sound drops down to 10dB of noise reduction demonstrating the amount of noise blocked by a normal pair of high end studio headphones. At 18 seconds, the volume bottoms out at 29dB of noise reduction. This is Extreme Isolation. With the EX29 noise cancelling – canceling reduction headphones you will only hear what you want to hear!

This second audio clip is a demonstration of what your music will sound like when using the EX-29 headphones. The clip starts out with just the background noise then Colbie Caillat’s Bubbly starts playing showing you what normal headphones would sound like. 8 seconds into the clip, the background noise is reduced by 29db representing listening to the song through EX-29 Extreme Isolation Headphones. Then we stopped Colbie at 19 seconds to show you what the background noise sounds like when you are not playing any music through the headphones. You will notice that you can still faintly here the background noise when no music is playing.

Simply puting on the headphones drastically reduces background noise. If you are not listening to any audio through the headphones, you will still be able to hear some background noise. As this audio clip demonstrated, playing some music through the headphones masks out virtually all background noise.

Why Extreme Isolation Headphones?

The EX-29 headphones work by keeping the background noises out and your music in the ear cups. By keeping the unwanted sounds out, you can listen to your music at a much lower volume which keeps you from damaging your ear drums. Keeping the music in your ear cups allows you to listen to music in quiet places without bothering people around you. It also prevents sound from bleeding into live microphones when recording.

To get a sense of the sound isolation, start listening to music through your headphones. Then take off your headphones and push the two ear cups together. Even with the headphones just a few inches away you can’t hear anything!

Crystal Clear Sound

Some noise cancellation headphones attempt to block sound by sampling the outside sound and then producing an equal, but opposite sound inside your headphones to actively cancel out the unwanted noise. This form of noise cancellation is called active cancellation and has gotten a great deal of attention due to the complicated technology used. Active noise cancellation is an effective way to block sound, but it tends to produce a hissing, swooshing sound inside the ear cups. Also, this technology requires batteries. If the batteries die, not only does the noise cancellation stop working but on many models the music stops too.

Providing an astonishing 29 decibels of isolation from outside sound, the EX-29 headphones have specially designed ear cups that passively attenuate surrounding sound marking a breakthrough in high-fidelity, studio quality headphones. Unlike active noise cancellation headphones, the EX-29 headphones don’t use batteries. Since the EX-29 headphones don’t try to produce any extra sounds to cancel out background noise you won’t hear any hissing or other noise artifacts. You just get crystal clear, accurate sound.

The EX-29 Advantage

Keep the outside noise on the outside and the music on the inside. With 18 years of experience building isolation headphones we have come up with the best headphones on the market. Here are just a few of the features and benefits of using the EX29 headphones.

Review by: Mark

I got these headphones specifically for when I’m on my table saw and I couldn’t be happier with them for that purpose. I sometimes use my table saw for hours at a time. The sound quality isn’t the greatest but is better than I expected them to be. They’re meant to block out outside noise and they do that very well. They’re really comfortable as well. Overall, I’m very happy with them.

I use these headphones for blocking out sound while I work at home. I listen to the free, 30 minute, white noise MP3 which is great. It really blocks out sound. If I turn off the audio, I can hear my wife talking to me but with the audio on, she can be right in front of me and I can’t hear anything she says unless she shouts. It’s actually pretty funny. Great headphones! I use them almost every day. Great service too! I spoke with Lee. I emailed and he called me back within about 5 minutes of sending the email. Fast shipping too. Highly recommended and I’m happy to be used as a reference. Thanks Quiet Headphones guys!

Excellent product. Great customer support with answers to your questions and their white noise mp3 is great. You do need white noise to block out the sound of local tv etc and I tried several white noise mp3s from the web but this is the best at blocking sound and a great reason to buy from quietheadphones not to mention their great warranty.
I am very happy with the product.

I have finally found the headphones I have been looking for. I tried many different brands,including Bose, and these have proven to be the best.If you can get past the fact that they are quite large, you will not be disapointed. I don’t find the size to be a problem. Great product.

They are ok for watching TV or playing video games at low volume. The quality is good. But it’s not a headphone for professional studio use though.

HI, I just wanted to thank you so much for the great customer service. I bought a set of EX-29 headphones a little over a year ago. I accidentally, snagged the cord when I was outside cutting working in the yard and sent them to you for repair. I couldn’t believe how fast you guys fixed them and got them back to me. I’m so happy to have my headphones back, they’re the best I’ve ever used, and I will DEFINITELY recommend you to friends.

I bought these to help me drown out noise of co-workers in a very open cubicle area. These are the best!

I bought these headphones to use while studying in my dorm room and they work great. The sound is much better than the earphones that came with my iPod. Now I pretty much just use these headphones for work and for play. Highly recommended!

I work in a cubical as a web developer. These headphones enable me to actually concentrate on my work and with the included white noise MP3 I can totally block out all the office chatter. I can’t even hear my phone ring – fortunately it lights up so I don’t miss calls. My only complaint, and the reason for my 4 star rating is that I wish the headphones were a little smaller. But this is a very small complaint. They are very comfortable and really block sound. The customer service from QuietHeadphones.com is really great. Don’t have any reservations, buy these headphones! You won’t regret it.

Review by: Melissa

I spend a lot of time watching streaming video and listening to music. When my old headphones fell apart, I did plenty of online research to choose a replacement pair, with noise reduction, comfort, and price at the top of my list. I contacted Quietheadphones and received a prompt, courteous response that answered all of my questions. My EX-29s have met or exceeded all promises and expectations: the noise reduction is superior, the fidelity is excellent, they are extremely comfortable for long periods of wear, even over eyeglasses, and the price is reasonable. Of equal importance, the customer service here is among the very best I’ve encountered in more than fifteen years of online shopping. I highly recommend both the product and the seller.

Review by: Patrick

I live in a noisy house, with a 2 year old nephew. As if that wasn’t enough reason to buy noise isolating headphones, I am something of an audiophile and listen to music all day long. I wear them anywhere from 4-8+ hours a day, and being able to block out alot of background noise for eased listening is very key. You know you love these headphones when you have seriously contemplated wearing them while grocery shopping. Great headphones.
