Hey guys, I'm looking for the best possible earbuds for my dad. My dad travels frequently for his work. He says his noise canceling headphones (some sennheiser one, i dont remember the model #) barely work and he has a hard time hearing them. I figure noise isolation would be better for him.
My qualifications for earbuds-
1: Decent amount of bass
2: At least 20 db of noise isolation or greater
3: ipod control (VOL UP/DOWN) and that possibly has a built in microphone with it.
A good example: I was thinking of getting my Dad the Shure SE215K with the ipod cable or the Etymotic hf3 but I'm not too sure if there are better options. The hf3 is $60~ at my local best buy. I believe they claim to block up to 37-42 DB of outside noise.
Thanks in advance.
