Wireless earphones / headphones

Hi all

I just bought and tried a pair of Sony h.ear on MDR-100ABN headphones. Nice design and sound quality, but the noise leakage was awful. There's no way I could use them on a commute as even low levels of music can be heard. I'm sending them back!

Can anyone recommend a good pair of wireless earphones / headphones that don't leak much noise? I currently have wired Sennheiser bud earphones which hardly leak anything, so I can listen to music loudly without annoying others.

I don't need or want noise cancellation, and I don't need amazing sound quality. I want wireless so I can a) use my MP3 on the train without being wired in and b) have my back door open without my TV annoying my neighbours early / late. Bud earphones are probably preferable as I can pack them in my handbag easily.

Thanks if anyone has any recommendations before I make another purchasing mistake!
