Actually, the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint noise cancelling headphones
are far better, and much cheaper than the Bose offerings. Shure, Ultimate
Ears, and Etymotic all offer reasonably priced in-ear-monitors that
generally block out more noise than most of the noise cancelling ones and
require no batteries or adjustments.
By far the best deal in portable, high-quality, lightweight (but not noise
cancelling) headphones are the Sennheiser PX-100s that can be had for $49
without much looking. They come in a hard plastic case that looks like a
glasses case, fold up nicely, are exceptionally comfortable, and sound
extremely good -- far better than any other lightweight set of cans I've
tried, and up with some of the big boys that cost many multiples it's price.
The one I recommend to everybody for just about everything where portable
headphones are appropriate. Stay away from Sony -- any model, any type.

The best you can get are the Bose Noise cancelling headphones. You can
get
more info on them by going to:
http://www.bose.com
Most pairs of headphones should work fine in either Braille Sense Plus or
Voice Sense. The key is the length of the cord which acts as the FM
antenna! Sometimes one must coil the cord to get best results.
