Hi guys I am thinking about buying some in ear headphones for travelling.
Is it worth paying 300$ for the Bose noise cancelling ones?
Are wireless beats a decent set?
I'm also not really sure what ear insert I would find most comfortable, but I know the ones that come standard with apple products are horrible and make my ears hurt when they manage to stay in for more than 30 minutes.
I also would like to be able to sleep comfortably in them.
These are mostly for plane rides (between 2 hours and 14 hours) I would like to find something I can buy in store since I am leaving Sunday for China, but I can order online if it's worth waiting
Please let me know what the best price/comfort/performance options are and if there are any good black friday or cyber monday deals you know of!
I just came back from a trip in China. The two in ears I brought with me were the Alpha & Delta AD01 and Shure SE215. The AD01 is tuned more towards bassheads and the SE215 has a warm sound. Neither require an amp but I use a Fiio e12 with them for the bass boost. The SE215 is the more comfortable out of the two. They both isolate well, but I think the SE215 isolate a bit better than the AD01.
