video Noise Isolating Ear-Bud Headphones
Poor mans noise isolating ear-buds. Many advantages over ($200-$300)Bose: cheaper (pennies on the dollar) and smaller, allows mobility, no batteries required. Using existing (JVC) noise canceling Ear-buds, use Flents (or other manufacturers) spongy-type earplugs in place of the JVC plug. If you have heat-shrink, you can replace and elongate the JVC tube to allow inserting the Flent's plug better into your ear.
Great for planes, bus/car, mowing the grass, loud work environment, etc. Your mp3 player will only require 1/2 volume with these - thereby extending battery life.

They are harder to put in then regular ones, i roll mine in my fingers (like how you normally put ear plugs in) and stick them all the way in and let it expand. you can't run in them or they fall out, or it's just annoying.
I bought a big pack of earplugs a long time ago just for this purpose (and some gun shooting)

that seems like an easier way to make the holes than ive been doing... but i dont have access to a big hollow needle thing. I either soak them in water, freeze, and drill a hole, or use a hot nail.
and for cheap earbuds... (no affiliation)

after using these you won't be able to listen to regular "ipod" type earbuds again. The isolation makes even horrible quality headphones sound better than ipod type because of lack of outside noise, and the amplification.
but please change the tittle. these are noise isolation ear buds, they don't send outside sounds into your ear 1/2 wavelength off so it meets destructively.
