  If you are picky about bass and not really particular about noise isolation, try the Sennheiser PX100 cans. They are quite amazing. There's the PX200 too, which is essentially a PX100 with noise isolation.

  The PX100 and PX200 are said to be nearly as good as some of Sennheiser's studio headphones. Which I quite agree.

  Oh, and another thing. PX100 has more bass than PX200.

  it fits right into your ear hole, the rubber thing blocks abit of air and outside noise and sends the music straight to your ears.

  I use Shure e2c.  Excellant when travelling on a plane.  Barely hear the engines droning.  Not great on bass I feel.

  Thinking of upgrading.  How are the Shure SE models?

  Noise isolation means the headphones will isolate (block out) outside noise. Usually by about 20 to 30dB. The PX200 isolates about 21 to 25dB. I think in-ear headphones isolate more. Over-the-ears kind of headphones isolate less.

  There's another kind called noise cancellation. This is different from noise isolation. Noise cancellation usually needs an external battery source like 2 'AAA' batteries for example. The device will produce soundwaves that are exact opposite of the soundwaves around you; hence effectively cancelling out the ambient noise.

  I don't know which one (noise cancellation or noise isolating) is better because I've only tried noise isolating headphones but not noise cancelling headphones. But I think noise isolating headphones is more than enough. Noise cancelling might be better, but is more bulky. The Sennheiser PXC250 is an example of a noise cancellation headphones. It's actually just a PX200 fitted with a noise cancelling device.

  I think I will be giving Crossroad MylarOne x3 a try. But what variants of x3 are there? Or is there only one variant of the x3? I want something with a bit more bass, but not too much until it's boomy.

  Then x3i seems to be the right one for you.. clearity and enough bass that doesn;t overkill... xbi is another version which delivers more bass, but its an overkill is what most reviewers imply..

  but dun take my word for it, try and audition them and see which one is preferably for you,
  its yourears, not mine :xD
