I'm looking to buy a noise isolating earphones.
some choices:
Amazon.com: JVC HAFX66B Air Cushion Headphones (Black): Electronics
Amazon.com: HEAD-DIRECT RE2 In-ear Headphones: Electronics
maybe a used shure e2c/se110 or used sennheiser cx400?
Any recommendations? I need to try to keep it under $50.
Also how is the Fiio E5? Head-Direct.com | YUIN

Haven't heard the aircushions, but the RE2s are very nice headphones for the price. I would rate them higher than the low-end shures and the sennheisers (many times better than the CX300s). IMO the only competition the RE2s have under $40 are the ADDIEMs (that's apple dual-driver IEMs) and the MEElectronics Ai-m9/m6.

The E5 is a cool gadget to have around and can add a little bit of bass/warmth/volume to your head/earphones.

The RE2/E5 combo is an excellent value as far as starting combos go IMO.

I'll probably get the RE2.
Does anyone have recommendation on a earphone in amazon?
How does the cx95 or cx400 compete with RE2?
