hi,
 
I take the subway in Paris 45 minutes X 2 every day ; i'd like to buy good sound cancelling headphones. I tried in-ear phones, which sound great but are too painful for me too wear.
 
What do you guys (and girls) recommend ?
 
Price range = 300 euros max

Heya,

Very best,

What about the HD-25's? nobody have mentioned it...shame on you guys.

I am in the same boat as the OP. Assuming you are also looking at passive noise cancelling phones.
 
I don't like IEM's and there are no noise cancelling earbuds.
 
For use in the metro I have tried HD25's, but you don't to be seen in public with these things on. So I sold them again.
 
Now I am looking at px200-ii or... B&W p5 (headfi :/)

I don't know anything about Paris, but if it's any thing like the NYC trains, I would keep my ears & eyes un-cancelled at all times...
Bonne route!

I don't know why you would think that the hd-25's are ugly. The are extremely inconspicuous and great at blocking out noise. It's not like you're wearing m50's or something full sized.

Bose noise cancelling is the best. Yes they're expensive and the sound isn't the best but for your application they'll fill-the-bill.

Well maybe I ditched them too fast, but with the long cord and odd thick shells on ear I made a quick decision to sell them. Because at that time I didn't felt comfortable in looks to put them on in the subway. However I somehow regret it not giving them a proper chance at the time I was just using them with my low tech mobile phone, which made a funny combination. Now I have iPod I might ave decided differently I don't know..
