New 'phones
Realizing I'd soon be commuting by Ferry, I decided it might be a good idea to get some headphones for my jukebox. I generally listen to it through speakers - either in the car or in the office. When I do use headphones, I'm generally on a plane, and I have a (rather large) set of noise-canceling 'phones that make the white-noise almost disappear.
I did some shopping around - I wanted something small and discrete, with good sound quality, but I wasn't interested in spending a fortune. I ended up with a pair of Sony MDR-EX51LP's. They're an in-the-ear design, with three sizes of soft baffles. They aren't noise canceling, but after selecting the correct size, they block a good amount of background noise. The sound quality is pretty good, especially the base (typically the hardest thing to get out of ear-buds).
I haven't yet worn them for a long period, so I may change my mind, but at the moment, I'm pretty happy with them.
