The Bottom Line	AKG's megabass-endowed, Walkman-style noise-canceling headphones are nearly as effective as cumbersome over-the-ear models.	Sennheiser's featherweight noise-canceling headphones are supercomfy and produce sound quality approaching that of some full-size models.	The JVC HA-NC250 Noise Canceling Headphones make a great travel companion for those who demand quality sound. And they may not be cheap, but they seem that way next to the Bose QuietComfort 3.	With the QuietComfort 3s, Bose has done a remarkable job of shrinking its popular noise-canceling headphones while achieving similarly impressive sound quality--but that engineering feat doesn't come cheap.	Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.
