Stop playing in noisy environment

I second the recommendation for the Sennheiser CX300s. I think they're great. If want to spend less, you could try the Creative EP 630 which are almost the same.

But keep in mind, if you're an eBay shopper, that it's been flooded with fakes of both these models.

i commute about 3 hrs/day - 2hours via bus and 1 hour via subway.  i use the Shure e2c and I keep the volume on my player at 1 -- I know because i tried turning it down and then it went to mute.  

I also bought my wife and kids the JVC HA-FX33 for a recent flight.  They seemed satisfied with these.

I've always bought mine in electronics stores (bought a pair for the g/f too). They're not ridiculously priced, so the premium you pay in a walk in store as opposed to the web isn't too bad either.

If I was buying some really high end model I'd probably shop online - but the two I mentioned are good enough for me that I consider spending more a waste.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not a super audiophile so I would have gone with the majority on the CX300s, but the short cable _would_ bug me... just how short exactly?

Thanks for the heads up on eBay, I usually do check there, but might have to give it a miss this time.

I'm 6 feet tall, and I keep my player in my pants pocket, and the CX300's cord has never proven a hindrance to me. That being said, I'm not sure where mine are at the moment, so I can't give you an actual approximation of the length.

I use a pair of Creative EP-630's which are rebranded CX300's with a different cable.

The length of the Sennheiser cable is quite ok (85 cm from jack to where left an right split). The difference is that the Sennheisers have a asymmetric cable. The right earbud has a longer cable that goes around the neck. The Creative has a cable with this shape: Y
Personally I prefer the Sennheiser cable.

I'm equally fine with J or Y shape. I just ordered some CX300s off headphones.com.au, which seems like a nice company and I saw recommended while looking up earphone info. Thanks for the information, guys!
