Headphones on the tube?
Discussion
Logitech Ultimate Ears 700 - best earphones I've ever had. For such small, discreet earphones they keep so much background noise out, and they sound fantastic.

And if anything were to ever go wrong with them, Logitech's customer service is second to none. I had a three year old pair that developed a fault and had a brand new pair delivered within 3 days of my support call.
Don't think you can buy them new anymore is the only thing, but worth checking eBay etc.

I use some Beyerdynamic in ear buds
previous model to the DX160iE
Used them for 5 years now with all the rough and tumble of daily travel on the tube train & aircraft.
Great sound, good fit (for me) and block out loads of external sound
my only grumble with mine was their is a bit of cord handling noise passed through;
they have apparantly fixed it in the new model (DX160iE)
I'd replace mine with this model in a heartbeat if I ever lost or killed them

If anyone is a fan of in-ear buds that block noise out, Google SoundMagic E10.
No, I had never heard of them either until I read a review in Stuff magazine. Read some of the reviews on the Internet, people like What Hi-Fi giving them 5 stars and everyone raving about them.
They cost about £30 and nothing comes close for the money.
I bought a pair and they really are quite something for sound quality. Other headphones I own include £170 Allen & Heath, £150 Sennheisers and others, but these sound fantastic and well up there with the best, which is amazing considering the price.
They also accept the Comply tips.

If you're just listening to audio books then just try some different tips and see which one is best for you. I use Shure Olives which I find better than the Comply ones personally.
But to be honest nothing is going to drown out the noise of the Central line, it's probably the noisiest line of all.

Weird, i've never heard anyone else talk about these. I've had my pair of these for over a year and they're very good!No, I had never heard of them either until I read a review in Stuff magazine.

On a side note on the sony in-ear headphones, some of £5-£10 range ones are very very good for the price. I have some that I used to use at the gym, im using my seinheissers now as its the only time I seem to use headphones these days.

I would agree about the Sony in-ears. I was away with work for a week and had forgot my headphones so I went into the nearest HMV and bought a pair of Sony for about £15 I think (they had the remote control and mic on the cable) and honestly they were excellent for the money. Really impressed.On a side note on the sony in-ear headphones, some of £5-£10 range ones are very very good for the price.

The SoundMagics are still the best buy though. Sound Quality Vs Price is unreal.
SoundMagic E10S - best in class according to this lot:

These are really good 'noise cancelling' and fold up to small size. Fab on trains and planes.

DON'T even start me on beats. Worst con in the history of crap audio products.

They should go together with Apple products, would make a great team.
As for subway riding, I really can't do anything else than earbuds (the ones with the rubber that go in your ear). Even regular "in ears" aren't sufficient imho.
Have tried several things, just on ear headphones, volume cranked all the way up: inaudible.
"In ears", inaudible.
Earbuds, volume half way is more than enough.
