Turn The Volume Down For Less

January 16, 2009 at 1:30 PM | by | Comments (0)

If you like silence, better stay home. From people talking on their cell phones at the movies in Milan to the screech of wild birds in Queensland, travel can be one long "SHHHHH" for the impatient.

We've never held much interest in those noise-canceling headphones, but sometimes it seems worth the $60-$90 for a little peace and quiet. For the DIY types, Kip Kedesh's video (above) shows how to rig up your own 'phones for around $20 using construction-strength muffs.

Not handy at all? A recent CNet review picked out an $84 pair by JVC that work almost as well as those Bose beauties. Ahhh, the sound of silence.
