Noise-canceling USB headphones?

There's all sorts of usb headsets with noise-cancelling mics, but I can't seem to find any headphones that fit that bill.

Help a brutha out here?

There may be some (not common), probably higher end game earpieces with the mics in them, but honestly, why? You might as well get a Bluetooth one.

USB headphones are usually used as Microphones/headsets and usually offer noise canceling Mics, not so much the earpieces. You are better off getting a Bluetooth noise canceling headset, which will work with a PC (most have Bluetooth now or you can get cheap USB Bluetooth adapters), laptops (same as PCs), tablets and phones.

Why USB?

As a power source for the noise-canceling.

Yeah, that is a bitch for sure. About the best solution you might find is a bluetooth noise canceling headphone that can be re-charged by usb. Also some of the better noise canceling headphones will continue to work even after the battery dies, just won't do noise canceling. That may be a good compromise.
