[ubuntu-us-ut] ubuntu-us-ut Digest, Vol 20, Issue 16

[Michael Burkhart]

I've been extremely impressed with Maxell's noise cancelling headphones.
http://www.maxell-usa.com/index.aspx?id=63;66;521;0&a=info&pid=138

I got mine at Walmart for about $35, though I haven't seen them there
since.  Maxell makes a couple more models (links within page, or link
below), and has a link for where to buy / store locator, but it apparently
can't find stores in the SLC area.  I suppose you could also look on online
retailers.
