I'm after a slightly better set of earphones, ones which will block out unwanted noise, especially from planes & cars.
As I don't want anything too bulky I think I am probably looking at in-ear earphones, especially as they seem to be better than headphones for the same price.
Thinking of spending about £40 sterling on them, so far have considered 'phones like
the Sennheiser CX300 (these are the cheapest)
Shure e2c,
Crossroads Mylarone XB.
Any idea which of these is the best? Especially in terms of sound isolation?
I'm after clarity and bass - obviously - but clarity is prob more important unless it gets tinny...
Also: I haven't yet made any sense of the technical spec that you can find on these: is it essential to match the impedance of the phones with my mp3 player (a zen btw) as closely as possible? Or aim for high impedance?
Any advice much appreciated
