You can get sound cancelling headphones from drugstore.com for less than $.10 a pair--search for "cotton balls".

I have them. They are completely useless. Poor sound quality and noise cancellation doesn't work.

Useless is right. I threw mine away at the airport right after I tried them out on its maiden voyage.

Noise cancellation does work but only half as well as you would expect. You need to jam them in your ear, hoping the noise isolation will have some benefit. That's why they're so cheap and BOSE are so expensive.

Terrible earphones. Sound is mediocre at best. Noise reduction is extremely poor. No where near as good as any of the Sony noise reduction phones.

This is another horrible Philips product. Tried em in the store for twice this price and they sucked frankly.
