Noise-isolating headphones?

I just got a 3.5mm headphone adapter for my Hermes, I'm going to install the SRS wow plugin and I'm quite excited. With an 8GB MicroSD card, it's quite an iPod.
Now, to finish the picture, I'd like to get a decent pair of noise-isolating earphones to use outside so I don't have to kill my ears and annoy people around me. No more than around £35 RRP (which means I'm hoping I can get it a bit cheaper than that online).
Any suggestions for great pairs to look at?
Appreciate any replies.
Thanks

i used skullcandy they make me feel young and hip

That's funny, I'm probably half your age p), and I'm actually after the more professional, "complicated and slightly-troubled artist" look. Yet suave. Oh and it must sound good too!
Will have to keep looking!

Creative EP630 very inexpensive and good quality

Thanks, I found the creative on amazon uk for £6.99! Worth getting just to try out, and can keep as a second pair if I want to upgrade later.
Cheers!

Etymotic ER-6 or ER-6i's.. they go on sale pretty often on amazon or buy.com. They work better than any active noise cancelling headphones I've used, and the sound is very natural.

shure e2c, e3c, e4c, e5c.... but id guess all but the e2c's will be out of your price range. i got my e2c's off ebay for about 35 quid inc postage. theyre the ebst headphones ive ever had. Sennheiser CX300's are also very good, and can be found for about a tenner from some ebay shops. Ive had 2 pairs of cx300's, but when the second pair got stolen, i upgraded to the e2c's and havent regretted it. Btw, rrp for the e2c is 79.99 and the cx300 is about 35 {every number mentioned is in pounds}

Yeah, Shure would be great but out of current pricerange. I got the Creative's as a quick cheap sale from Amazon.
Man, it exposes a lot of hiss!from my iPod, from my Hermes and from my laptop. Is there some high impedance cable you can get? Another thing, it seems to expose the (low) quality of (some of) my mp3s on my iPod! Looks like I'll have to rip ALL my CDs to 320kbps now. Or even aac lossless.

FM Transmitter for Captivate?

So I am looking for a way to play Pandora, etc using my Captivate in the car. I had the iPhone FM transmitter thingy that worked great, but my question is, is there one for the Captivate?

Seems like you're looking for just a standard FM Modulator. There are many out there. I cant recommend any particular one, but you can find them on most tech sites such as Newegg or others...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...6&cm_re=fm_transmitter-_-55-995-026-_-Product
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4&cm_re=fm_transmitter-_-55-970-004-_-Product
for starters...

I know Belkin stock their range of FM Transmitter's called TuneCast.
The latest models I could find was the Product TuneCast Auto Universal and the TuneCast III. Both priced at $49.99 respectively.
Quite pricey I must say.

I have a generic one I bought at Fry's for 10 or 15 bucks a while back. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. Looks like you can get them cheaper (as low as $6) on Amazon.
If you want the fancy Belkin one you can get the TuneCast Auto Universal on Buy.com for $22 shipped.
Let me know if you need links (as I can't create actual links in this post as a "new" user)

If you can wait 2 weeks for delivery...
...this is good and cheap FM transmitter. Sorry, no outside links for me yet...
Just Google dealextreme fm transmitter
It looks like Belkin TuneCast II but it's stronger transmitter. Price...$7.19...5x cheaper...
BTW cheap plastic but you can't have it all...

The FM chip in the Galaxy Phones has an FM receiver and transmitter. If they ever get it to work you might be able to access the built in transmitter and not have to use a 3rd party solution.
So far they are not having much luck.

I'm going to tell you what I tell people at work. I've tried them and it's not the best thing out there. You'd be better off biting the bullet, and just buying a new head unit for your car with a front auxiliary input.
Decent ones are going for about $80. Considering most good FM transmitters are about $60, I would just spend the extra $20 on a new head unit.
Good luck finding one though!

The best one I have used is the Monster one with configurable frequencies. Only downside is they are like 100 bucks.

Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth - $44

Hey guys. i spotted this steal on amazon and figured some of you may appreciate this.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001630QZE/
originally $150, sale $44

These are great bluetooth. I have 2 of them. The nice thing is is that the case doubles as a charger too, so you dont have to worry about it running out of battery when not in use and in the case.
I sure hope nobody buy these for $150. I believe I got mine 2 years ago for $60 and it is still working great, although I seldomly use my bluetooth outside of work

Really good bluetooth on sale! $24.99!

I posted this in the Epic Touch 4G accessory forum, I thought I would also share this with the community at large:
The BlueAnt Q2 bluetooth headset is on sale for 24.99 shipped on eBay deals.
I bought one of these about 4 months ago at $39, the cheapest that I have ever found it. It is refurbished by the manufacturer, but that's still basically brand new.
This bluetooth is definitely recommended by me, it streams all audio (including music) from said device when connected. It also feels really comfortable to wear, unlike other headsets I have tried.
I work at a Sprint store and these retail @ $99. Fry's had them for $76 last time I checked.
Customers love them by the way.

Great device at this price .

Blue ant Q2
I also have one of these devices and can honestly say they are great, though after long periods of time they can obviously get uncomfortable.

Buying & referring from Aliexpress.com

Hi friends,
I have seen people sharing referral codes of aliexpress.com on many forum. Can anybody help me how is it useful to them and is this a method to earn money or buy products from aliexpress.com for free.
2. how is the delivery of products (free shipping) to India?
3. How to verify if the product is original or not on aliexpress.com. I am thinking to buy Xiaomi Piston 3 from the following web page which is also giving free shipping.
https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...lgo_pvid=dc3302c4-3079-410d-a27e-f0d7c4dc5c4e
4. Please also tell how are these discount codes generated and can a new person registered on that side do it?
Are there other reliable sites too which deliver products with free shipping to India?
I also checked another earphones (KZ ATE 3.5 mm in ear earphone Sport running HIFI Super Bass Metal Earphones Noise Isolation Earphones Copper Driver) but prices tend to fluctuate a lot i.e. from 5.98$ to 11.98$. So how to verify original product?
