Hi, I'm thinking of getting a noise isolating earphones. Looking for one with really good sound insulation. The main reason is to double up as earplugs block out the ambiance noise of my office (I have very noisy colleagues and wearing industrial earplugs will look silly). Of course music comes second, but its not really so much priority. Looking at more commercially available brands like Philips or Sony. Please share if you've ever used an earphone with really good passive noise reduction. Thanks

You've to state your budget.
Anyways, I've had Sony MDR-EX300 and EX500. Both work quite well with moderate music volume, but with no music playing they have average insulation. Of course that depends on your fit. Mine and yours may be different. The hybrid silicon tip is excellent BTW.

The EX300/500 or their upgraded replacement, the 310 and 510 are priced at RM199 and RM359 respectively. I think their price has dropped from the initial RM209 and RM369.

Thanks. a budget of about RM200 will do just fine!
