You will be glad these headphones have a "Monitor" button so you are able to listen to what people say to you. Otherwise you'll hardly hear them. Even switching them on in an apparently quiet office environment gives astonishing results.

Review: Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Canceling Headphones
The Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Canceling Headphones cost $400.
