The new sony mp3 players are quite good, and only $99.
best bet is to upgrade the earphones. get earbuds cos they block off outside noise and have better bass
u can check out the MDR-NC022 sony noise cancelling earbuds.
I think its the only noise cancelling earbuds. Most of the rest are headphones..
Those deep in ear buds like Shure are supposed to be pretty good too but i have no experience of those eg comfort etc...
Hey, I have an extra pair of Sony MDR-EX85LP which i wanna offload, barely used, maybe just a few hours.
I still have the box and receipts and all, so u know its real.
Got it for $89 but will consider letting it go at say $60
