Method ANC

The Methods are much better, that's for sure :)

I do find over the ear headphones give me the best ANC at least in high much I would pay (mostly 225 or under usd). Plenty of people disagree. So, I would go with what works for you. Bigger earbuds bother my ears. So, I often get the smaller earbuds in the 40-75 usd range. I have heard the ANC is good in the Bose Quietcomfort that is 129.00 currently. It also is good in the Skullcandy Method. This was a joint project of Bose and Skullcandy. It comes with really good ANC and Ambient mode that was based on Bose's work with this design. They seem 75.00 at some places in the US including Amazon.
