I am looking for a pair of headphones under $50 (anything slightly higher is pushing it, but not out).
Noise isolation is a must. I am spending Christmas with my family in a very small cabin with only two bedrooms, neither of which will be mine. I get the futon in the loft, way out in the open. My mother has this distinctively loud voice that really carries. I love her to death, but I need to be able to escape. I am slightly Obsessive Compulsive and I cannot tolerate certain noises interfering with my me-time. I really value my me-time. Also, if they block out TV noise and radio noise, that would be great. I would imagine circumaural would be best for isolation, but if the supra-aurals work just as well, then bring it on.
(I know this little tidbit is a little much, but I need everyone to know my desperation)
Now, let's discuss quality. I currently own a pair of J2 Jbud's. I know they are probably not the best for the audiophiles out there, but I don't know any difference, so anything equal to or greater in quality would be fine.
Looks shouldn't matter, but since I only plan on using them for trips and at home, I wouldn't mind something kinda snazzy. I like to feel cooler than I am sometimes.
Now, I know nothing could probably meet my dream expectations, so I fully expect sound to leak in one way or another. Any advice you fine people might have for me will be greatly appreciated.
Peace out, have a Happy Holiday, and thanks again.
PS. I'm sorry this is so long. I could go on forever if I had more time, and if wasn't afraid of boring people.
