i need some isolation

i have some e2c's at the moment and the last time i used them on a flight they were ok but i could still hear alot of noise when i wasnt listening to anything.

i would like something that provides better isolation dont want to spend a fortune so say £50 and the aim is isolation over sound quality

Re: i need some isolation

Have you exhausted all of the options for suitable tips?

Foam tips are good for extra isolation because they squeeze into your ear canal and then expand for a close fit. Shure offer foam tips that receive a lot of praise for isolation, durability and comfort.

Comply Foam tips are what I use on my Sadly broken E2C's. I purchased from Hi0Fi Headphones I think you need the T200 Comply Foam Ear Tips T-200 Platinum Medium (3-pairs) HiFi Headphones
