I got an expensive pair of Denon that get used mostly for flying or on the elliptical at the gym. Tried wearing them to mow the lawn too. They do a great job on repeatative sounds like the mower or a jet aircraft but do very little to block random sounds such as people talking. It will muffle the sound and if you're playing music it will drown some of it out but it doesn't cancel it. The sound quality is decent and they greatly reduce fatigue while flying. On a recent over night flight to Argentina I used the foam ear inserts and the headsets as I was hoping to sleep. Man, it was really quiet, but the only thing I could hear was some where, far off in the plane, a baby was crying. Bottom Line, she is going to hear your baby.

Well this was interesting. I called Lexus who was quite helpful after verifing that I also own a Toyota ( apparently if you own a Toyota or a Lexus they consider you family ). Sure enough they had no record of any maintenance just as Carfax indicated but they did suggest I call the dealer who wrote the original lease. As it turned out the dealer had detailed records of all service which they read to me over the phone. The car has been maintained by the book by the dealer. Good to know, peace of mind. Thanks for the suggestion SK, I'm picking up the car tomorrow and I am a happy boy.

Thanks, I'll give that a try in the AM. FWIW I filled out my profile too.

I am working on buying a ES 330, ran a carfax report, and was surprised to see no record of maintenance for the original owner ( 42 month lease, 32k miles ). The car has 40k on it and appears to be in mint condition. I am convinced the current owner is a fanatical maintenance freak and has nothing to hide. Over all it drives well, nothing is leaking or out of place, and the oil filler cap looks nice and clean. FWIW I worked my way through college as a mechanic ( a long time ago ) and these days am a hobby mechanic, and if it weren't for the carfax report, I'd be convinced the car is perfect. Quite possibly it is. Still I have that lingering doubt in my mind. Any words of wisdom before I pull the trigger? TIA Blues
