acidz 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 As title, are there clip-on earphones/headphones that provides isolation from outside noise? Or is it just not possible due to the way the clip-ons are worn? I'm not looking at headphones (messes up the hair lah) and IEMs (can't seem to fit these in).

Or is it just not possible due to the way the clip-ons are worn? I'm not looking at headphones (messes up the hair lah) and IEMs (can't seem to fit these in). Clip-ons are known for poor isolation, although it can be slightly improved by choosing a clip-on with a better grip and proper adjustments when wearing them. I'm not quite a clip-on user so I may be wrong about this but I know some customers I've talk to isolates by cranking the volume up..... which isn't very good.

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 Clip on usually dont cover enough of your ear to really isloate anything. Maybe you can try headphones that clamp/hang on your ear tat goes behind your head as they wont mess ur hair. Those have slightly better isloation though i dont think much lol. Cranking up volume to isloate? If its in the MRT tunnel, they will need an amp on high gain blasting all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I seen many cranking their volume so high that you can actually listen to what they are listening across the mrt seats lol. Though I think it still cant beat one guy using ibuds on such a loud volume that i can actually listen to what his playing (Heavy Metal) like 3 seats away lol.

sHaRkKaE 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 ever thought of considering ear buds ones? they provide quite a bit of isolation w/o messing up your hair, and wearing them is quite simple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derrickleow 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 why not consider a clip on in-ear ear buds? u get ur clip-on style that u wan. and u get isolation. yeah basically i think in-ear are the best for music listening. i think sony and philips have models like that.
