For the ultimate tune-out there’s Bose’s QuietComfort 3, which block outside noise so effectively the only sound to reach your ears will be the music you’re listening to. Though they’re a bit bulky to carry, you’ll be grateful to have them when getting aboard a jetliner. Ah, the sound of silence.

Traditional headphones offer great sound but they’re annoying to wear. In-ear buds sound awesome – but there’s no getting around that squishy feeling when wearing them. The perfect compromise: Bang & Olufsen’s A8 over-the-ear phones. The articulated arms bend to fit every ear just right.";

The aptly named Ultimate Ears UE 11 Pro earphones are exactly that – the ultimate in perfect in-ear fit and sound. That’s because they’re created from molds of your own ear canals. Though the process of plugging your ears with molding material is a little gross, the result is a perfect match – which explains why rock stars and professional musicians swear by them. ";

While expensive replacement headphones guarantee better sound, going with a super cheap set can be worse than the junkers that came with your player. An excellent, not-too-pricey pair is Shure’s SE110, which fit snugly in the ear canal and provide excellent sound isolation, preventing up to 90-percent of noise going on outside from interfering with what’s playing between your ears.";

Monster pulls a smart move by integrating your current iPod Shuffle right into the iFreePlay headset. Unobstructed access to the Shuffle’s buttons makes switching songs a cinch, and the set folds for easier carrying when not in use. And though the odd-looking arrangement may draw a few stares, the benefit of no more cables to tangle with outweighs looking a little silly."; // END editorial data
