The Radiosport RS 20 headphones are the way to go. They're not cheap,
but they really do the job. They have NO electronic circuitry to give
RFI problems, just 24 dB of noise reduction due to their excellent
acoustic isolation. When I have them on with any receiver audio at all
going I can't hear the phone ring on my operating desk. They're also
extremely comfortable -- the only headphones I've ever used that let me
operate the full 24 hours of Sweepstakes with zero discomfort. Their
build quality is light years beyond the cheap plastic construction of
the Heil, Bose or Yamaha phones. The RS 60 has the same headset with the
addition of a boom microphone for phone operation.

I am looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones.
I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6's that I love, but they do not have noise
cancelling capability and my wife's embroidery machine is severely
limiting my radio operations.
I have already looked at the Yamaha CM500's because they come so
highly recommended on this group. If they're noise cancelling, I
cannot find that information about them.
I want something that will last. The MDR-V6's have lasted at least 10
years if not longer. I've only had to replace the earpads.
I want something that *covers* my ear *not* something that sits *on*
my ear. Those that sit *on* my ears are uncomfortable after a very
short while.
