The Bottom Line	Frequent-fliers on a budget might want to consider the Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony headphones for their comfort, but serious connoisseurs of noise-canceling headphones will be unimpressed by the lackluster sound and questionable build quality.	The Clear Harmony holds its own against the competition. But without a price incentive, few users will risk choosing an unknown brand over an established one.	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.		While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-canceling headphones.
