Make Your Own Noise-Reducing Headphones
Metacafe via Lifehacker:
The gist is you get the sound-proof earmuffs—think what people wear at shooting ranges—that are small and fold nice and compact, pop off the foam padding, then break apart your old, on-the-ear headphones, and pop the speakers right under the foam padding of the earmuffs. From the video, it looks great.
Problem is that it’s not “noise-canceling,” but it’s noise-reducing. The top noise-canceling headphones block out external noise but also use white noise to cancel out the noise that filters through. Furthermore, the quality of sound you get from your “new” headphones is limited to the sound of the old headphones you just tore apart. So, while it may fit the bill, you still might only get the bang for your buck.
