Headphones on the tube?

[pherlopolus]

I see the daily fashion parade of bose and beats, but what are most cost efficient headphones to enable audio book listening on tube?

Have some Sony ear buds which sound good, and block some tube noise but wondering if over the ear would work better?

Thanks!

I've just ordered some Comply T200 tips, so if these don't help will try to get one of the above..

I am very happy with sound, just not the noise cancelling/isolating . Particularly on faster stretches of central line. I have some cheaper sennheiser over ears but a bit bulky.

I don't think active cancellation would work on the central line, wrong frequencies.

I've thought about a headphone amp, but I don't want more volume..

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

I had this discussion with our 13yr old, she has some very nice sennheiser ear buds now, and some Sony over ear bluetooths (infact she has better headphones than me! that cant be right!)

My Comply t200's arrived yesterday, much more capable of dealing with the central line today, if only they could have fixed the other issues with it!
