Headphone Options

Basics: On the Go With Upgraded Ears:
A number of headphone options are available to improve the listening experience on portable music players. They include wireless headsets that can free you from having to deal with wires, sound-isolating earphones that form an acoustically sealed zone inside your ear canals, and noise-canceling headphones that reduce sounds in your environment. Some of the options can work with cellphones as well, allowing you to toggle between phone calls and music on the fly.
I must have misshapen ears, because I can’t get my iPod’s earbuds to stay in, especially when I’m at the gym. I’m also in the market for some cool Bluetooth headphones for work.

Headphones…for…work?
Sounds odd, I know. But since we have an “open” office plan (i.e. cubicles), it’s one way of keeping the niose out and getting some privacy. Almost everyone has them now. My current set are from the old Nomad II music player I has a while ago and are getting pretty ratty.
You need a cone of silence.
