Ultra-cheap Studio Headphones

Step 6 Usage

Attach an MP3 player or similar source of portable sound. Wear. Listen to music and marvel at the improved dynamic range (I think) allowing you to hear the quiet bits you'd never heard before. I recommend the intro to "Nice Weather for Ducks" by Lemon Jelly or "Deeper Underground" by Jamiroquai to illustrate this. Alternatively, take on a long journey with a good audiobook (I recommend Terry Pratchett because.. well... he's Terry Pratchett).

Remove from head when awareness of external world is required, for instance when crossing roads or listening to public transport P.A. systems. While they don't block all external noise, wearing these in traffic is profoundly dangerous, as I quickly discovered in the middle of London. Don't do it- they make a perfect indie-kid accessory hung casually around your neck :)

Alternatively, wait until dark, find some fresh underwear and fire up a game like Bioshock, Doom 3, Half life 2, or anything with the requisite make-you-brick-it-in-terror sound.
