By far and away one of the most important things for long journeys are Mp3 players and laptops. The most important acompanyment for which are of course headphones.
I recently bought a pair of Bose in-ear headphones (rrp £77.31) and they have not let me down. In the past I have used Sharp, Sennheiser and Sony headphones but they all either broke, were too tinny or just sounded crap.
The choice to buy these was based mainly around my mates giving great feedback on the over-the-head versions but they were a bit out of my price range! These however are a great alternative to splashing loads of cash. Shure make a pair that i have been told can rival the Bose headphones but I haven't had a chance to get my hands on any.
The bass in outstanding, normally a problem with the in-ear headphones, and they come with a variety of 3 rubber ear pieces to suit any ear. After about two hours they do get a tad uncomfortable and i definitely wouldn't use them full whack for that long just coz the bass is that good on them. Obviously this could be a problem as they don't have any noise canceling technology so you might be tempted to let the bass-lines pummel you ear drums to drown out the train or tube.
The sound on live tracks is incredible and when listening to electronica you can really hear all the tiny additions that the producers have made to the tunes that you just wouldn't pick up on a normal pair of headphones. Listening to Bjork on these the other day was a real treat.
Been using them for about 4 months now they havent shown any sign of damage or wire damage which is a good. These are the best headphones i have owned by a long way I would suggest them to anyone. The Headphones also come with a free two year warranty!
