i got these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&s=electronics
you can buy them new or used for 70ish
the sure e2c they are like wearing earplugs with little speakers
i'm able to listen to the music quietly even when their is a lot of outside noise, it seals it out
after i got the right fitting sleeve for my ear they feel and sound great, if you put the wrong sleeve on they will be uncomfortable and sound crummy, they have to be sealed in your ear to sound right
now the one bad thing about these... it is EXTREMELY easy to zone out of what is around you when wearing these... they effectively make you deaf to all but the loudest outside sounds. and they are designed to have the wire go from behind over the top of your ear, so the wire doesnt hang by the earbud itself... was weird at first but now i like that better then normal.
