Noise canceler for any headphones??

I have sennheiser noise canceling headphones and love the music quality with them...just not a fan of the overhead type of headphones...Im more a fan of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Adjustable-Headphones-SHS4700-28/dp/B003DKL57G/ref=pd_sim_e_4
And I have a pair of these:

But none of these are noise canceling. Which got me thinking that surely there is a noise canceler that is separate from the headphones allowing you to plug some other headphones into the canceler. The problem is I havent found anything like that. I have dont audio wire hack/splicing before but I dont want to necessarily hack up the sennheisers.
Anyone know of anything that exists like this?

Z3 vs s3 headphones volume ?

Hi.
Ive read many various posts on this volume/output topic but selfishly could I keep this one upgrade specific.
I know the z3 has low headphone volume but im told the same about my s3 even though I find it ok.
Could someone who has had both compare them for me .Really want the z3 but wouldnt if it is much quiter than s3 .
Thanks .
Ps . New to forum .Apologies if in wrong place
If you have low impedence (ie 16 Ohms) headests like most earphones you won't notice it. With high impedence earphones and headphones (ie 32 Ohms) you will start getting volume issues.
Look at the impedence (in Ohms) of your headset or obviously by direct use.
Im using ajay ones which are 16ohms. So all good .
Really just after the difference between the two ,assuming same headphones used in both, so as to make it a good test.
Cheers for replying tho
Never had a S3 but I used to have the A-Jays Three and when using them with my Z1 and Z2 volume output was never an issue
Sent from my D6503
S3 headphone volume is a lot higher than Z3. All the Z's seem to have low headphone volume.
Hmmm was hoping that wasnt the case . I saw a list on phonearena that had the z3 and s3 with the same measurement of headphone output & was hoping that meant volume was comparable !
Thinking of waiting for z4 now , rumours are may have audio upgrade to deal with the low volume .
Irritated as outherwise z3 was perfect for me , but too many people hammering it for it just to be a small difference or people used to the really loud iphones.
...shame
Still have not got to test the Z3 . But managed to test a friends Z2 ( which im told is similar headphone volume to Z3 ).
And to be honest anyone thinking of upgrading from a Samsung S3 should not worry as the volume is virtually identical.
It seems that most people who find the Z2/3 too quiet have probably switched from the much louder ( too loud imo ) iphones and htc .
On a side note always wondered why so few reviews ( youtube etc..) compare new phones with the ones from 2 years ago. Most people get new handsets at the end of contract which is usually two years! But all the reviews focus on is phones that you probably dont have , I understand its to weigh up which is best but as so many aspects of these phones are purely induvidual opinion it would be good to have some point of reference at hand .
Moan over
Sony always have low volume in headphones comparing it to another brand, and i hate it! but I find that the volume in the Z3 is totally acceptable.. I use the Z2 noise cancelling headphone and the sony z3 headphone (MH-750) both sound with a prety good volume.. Whith my old Z2 -I HAVE TO- install an audio mod, because the volume was too low, but the Z3 with all stock sound with a higher volume.
Yeah its totally personal , I tried it (z2) with a set of average headphones and while I could see some people wanting more ( I did myself when I went from iphone to samsung ) im used to it now !

Apple earbuds mic does not work?

Hey everyone,
I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything in the Z3 forum. I just got the Z3 today and found that my standard apple earbuds with mic do not work with the Z3. The sound is fine, but the mic does not work. Is this a common compatibility issue? Thanks!

Do Z3's tend to have this... "Defective Speaker Crackle" issue a lot?

Alright so I've got a Z3 ordered. I figured I'd give Sony a shot again as my time with the z2 was pretty bad. So, I've been reading and learning information about the Z3 in the threads here I found a TON of scary sounding stories about Quality Control with the speakers.
I think I've read about 5 threads (2 were on Android Authority) where people have said the Top speaker is almost always blown, and crackles and even replacements have the same issue... Now... I don't plan on rocking maximum volume nonstop (I always like to avoid being close to max as I feel it is safer for it) but... Is this some kind of huge issue? I'm just really not going to be fond having a high quality phone who's speaker sounds like a $50 walmart phone when I get a text/call.
I'd just like some reassurance I guess, is this a hardware issue or software? Or perhaps are the people in these 5 threads daft and this isn't a wide spread issue? If it is hardware, is this some kind of unfix-able issue that Sony just had bad QC on?
It crackles slightly on some sounds, but isn't much of an issue. The speakers are quite loud!
Some phones, due to water exposure, get blown speaker symptoms due to dirt clogging the speakers up...clean that up and it sounds good.
I myself had the blown speaker issue...the top speaker would crackle and not much sound was coming out of it - had it repaired under warranty (note: i bought the phone used).

Flagship phone with headphone jack?

Hi guys,
I´m just wondering. are there any flagship phones in 2019 which still have a headphone jack? Apart from the "phablet versions" like the S10+ ?
I´m about to buy a new phone, and I just want a headphone jack...
