Larry,

The noise canceling headphones you have, are they the kind with 
microphones that shut off when there is a loud sound?  IE, you are 
actually hearing through microphones and speakers, but the microphones 
shut off at a certain threshold so you don't hear anything at all.  Or do 
they just cancel certain frequencies?

I have a set of noise canceling headphones from Senheiser, I don't think 
they would do much for really loud sounds.  They are really great on 
airplanes and in cars though.  They are also kinda pricy, I think I paid 
about 125 bucks.  However, they are pretty small and light, and a single 
double a batt lasts for ever.  Like I said though, the aren't really 
designed for super loud noises.
