Comment Sound Isolating (Score 1) 632
For everyone who has their music cranked up to drown out the sound around you, I recommend some type of sound isolating ear buds. Personally I have the Shure e2c ear buds (cheap but effective). I ride a train to work and the sound can be a little deafening. Since changing to these I have moved from a 3/4-Full volume level to a 1/4-1/2 volume level. Everything is much more clear.
My wife was always complaining about hearing my music while I'm wearing the standard head phones. Now she can't hear my music and I can't hear her complain.
