Hi everyone. I don't know much about headphones, so I hope you can help me out.
I am looking for a good pair of earbuds ($50 or less) to listen to my SlimX on.
I would like some noise cancelling, but I don't need outside noises to be TOTALLY blocked either. I live in the city and take the subway, so it would be nice to not hear the roar of traffic/trains over my music. I also dont' want the buds falling out of my ears when I exercise.
I was considering the Sony EX70LP, but I have read so many mixed reviews about it. I don't listen to music with a lot of bass, so the reviews I've read kind of worry me, since they say the bass can be too powerful.
I have heard good things about the Sennheiser MX500, and I do like the lower price. However, how much noise cancelling does the MX500 have? Is the noise cancelling at least going to be better than typical cheapo earbuds? Do they stay in your ears while exercising?
I don't mind spending $50, but my question is, is are the sonys worth the extra price? Price notwithstanding, which do you guys think are the better earbuds for urban listening?
Thanks!
