Canalphones
Professional canalphones (also known as "in-ear monitors") were originally developed for professional audio by Marty Garcia in the early 1980's and designed to be placed inside the ear canal, positioning them closer to the eardrum than other types of headphones. They have excellent isolation quality (up to 32 dBs) because they fit in much the same way as earplugs. Isolation from canalphones is generally superior to that provided by active noise cancellation mechanisms. Hearing aids are a type of canalphone.

This means that Canalphones are better than Noise Canceling headphones?
I'm looking at Sony MDRNC22B

I'm guessing its the best of both worlds as it is a In Ear Noise Canceling headphone. I prefer this due to the airplane jack as well.
