Can anyone recommend a brand of noise-cancelling headphones such as those used by rampers?

Do you mean ear defenders? If you do... Peltor Optime III, they're the ones issued to us at MAN. They're fantastic, a definite necessity to protect your ears!

In my personal opinion, you can't go wrong with David Clark hearing protectors.

DC are the best....Its Important that you hear sounds & filter only certain pitched frequency noises.

Think of the brighter side!

Bose just came out in the market with their new noise cancelling headphones.

I'd trust Bose

If your'e referring to the new Bose A20 its a pilots headset, not useful to a ramper, also extremely expensive. Noise canceling headsets/hearing protectors aren't generally going to be found on the ramp, to expensive and delicate.

David Clark 10A and 17A or Peltor Optime 105, which seems to be the US version of the Optime III are my preferences for hearing protectors. David Clark H3335 is my ground headset preference. Of them the 17A has the best noise attenuation, but you'll look like mickey mouse when wearing them.

Are any of those available with various radio interfaces and decent noise suppressing mics? I have some XTS2500s around very loud engines I've been trying to find electronic hearing protectors for.

One of my rampers has a set made by Ryobi you can get at Lowe's for $60. They are battery-powered and have a volume switch you can use during conversations or to change hearing ability like from working a DC9 gate to a 757.

Peltor do headsets with mic's and from my occasional experience, they're pretty good! The good thing about the Peltor Optime III is that they're mainly plastic so if you drop them or bang them, they don't get damaged easily.

We use these in the high noise areas at work, some of my colleagues use them during engine/APU runs etc. They feature bluetooth, active noise cancellation with a 82dB earcup limit and short range FM communications. They work very well (their signal processing to reproduce directionality in your ears is especially impressive), but they aren't quite as comfortable as the Peltors over long period, as well as a couple of other minor gripes.
