Advice for noise isolating / canceling earbuds

[red_ryder 0]

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for either active noise canceling or true isolating earbuds. I've tried so-called isolating buds (like Sony EX71) but they don't work that well in noisy environments like on a plane or a hawker center.

 

Here's my criteria -

 

1. Music reproduction not an issue - I listen to audiobooks and podcasts only. Which is why sound isolation is critical - every word counts.

 

2. Comfort and ease of wearing. Easy to put in and take out of my ears.

 

3. Size. Prefer not to have a large battery unit, but not a critical issue.

 

4. Price. Less than $150 if possible

 

Any options in the market?
