What head phone for use in train?

movilogo

I want to listen to audio books during my commute.

However, as I travel by train, there is high noise and the earphone with my mobile phone doesn't provide a nice audio experience.

So, I am thinking of buying a cheap but outside sound-proof head phone in reasonable price.

Any recommendation?

What sort of mobile do you use? Do the headphones plug in via a 3.5mm jack or is it mini usb? If 3.5mm then I recommend something like Sennheiser CX300-II's from play.com, between £12-£17 depending on whether you prefer black or white I have a pair and they're great!

Mine is standard 3.5mm jack.

The one you mentioned doesn't look much different from my current one.

I probably need a bigger headset - not just ear phone like one.

These are good and closed so keep external noise out.

Were as low as £17.99 recently so might go back to that soon if you wait:-

Cracking suggestion. I'd second that. Love Sennheisers!

They are the in the ear type but they cut out noise excellently and you get a great sound from them, plus easier to stow away than the 'ear muff' type!

I think the CX500's are worth looking into for an in ear noise cancelling option.

But if you exclude the noise, you might miss the announcement that the train is no longer calling at the station you intend to alight at.
