), and have found them wanting. So I purchased, a few months ago, a pair of Sennheiser CX500 high quality noise isolating ear-canal headphones with volume control - black (to give it its full name). And so far, I am very, very happy.
The Sennheiser CX500 are 'noise isolating' not by using white noise (like the Bose), but rather by fitting snugly in the ear. To this end, a number of ear buds are provided - three sizes of 'normal' round(ish) buds, and supposedly three sizes of 'enhanced' (with an extra ridge) buds, though the package I received seemed to contain one enhanced ear bud of each size (less than useful). (I did send an email to Sennheiser, but heard nothing.) Whilst the noise isolation is not as good as the ruinously expensive Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones (and that ilk), it is effective, so long as the earbuds fit well (fully ...

Listening to music... a great British pastime, and something I enjoy every day.

Being the in-ear type of headphone, comfort is very important. Out of all the earphones I have tried, these win ...
Advantages: Slim and subtle design. Quality of sound. Sennheiser reliability. Disadvantages: Slim design could be a potential structural weakness.
SennheiserMX51 Ear Phones are a reasonably priced, reasonably designed earphones that slot in just under the average price for sennheiserearphones and so sit in the middle of Sennheiser's vast range.

Design
These earphones are black with some chrome-effect edge to detail on the ear piece. Rather inoffensively designed; they look sleek and 'slim' for ear phones, and look perfectly fine and avoid attention when sat in the ear. The wiring does have a small clip on it to allow you to attach the dangling wires to an item of clothing if you're wearing the wires outside of your attire, although I have never felt the urge ...
