When you are DXing next to thundering surf they sure as heck are... Now when you are snug in your cabin with your feet next to the fire playing with your perseus, nose reduction is not so important. You can spent a little or a lot for NC Headphones. Mine are Maxell's for $50 and they offer little in the way of actual noise reduction. Where they shine is on airplanes, trains and industrial areas. Walt is right - for most DX applications, they do take something away. -- ..........................................................................................
