subways, truck rumble etc...
from www.amazon.com
on the highway, they cancel the road noise coming from the tires, but they do not cancel out the wind noise.

unlike open headphones, these offer effective isolation, and have drivers designed to theoretically angle the sound more realistically to your ears,
from www.amazon.com
the only complaint i have is the cloth braided cords need to be carfully turned so they don't get a twist in them when you coil and uncoil them.
from www.amazon.com
the actual drivers are covered with a grill to prevent any accidental damage to the cones.
from www.amazon.com

drive these with a good receiver or sound card and be prepared for some skull crushing lows.

mids 5/5 - like 2 miniaturized, mid-range drivers for your dome piece.

Sennheiser CX 500-B Consumer

from www.amazon.com
noise isolation is fine (i actually like to hear if a car is beside me) these buds come with 6 or 7 different sizes of silicone ear pieces, so you can be assured of a perfect fit.
from www.amazon.com
the range of frequency response is quite wide for drivers this small, and i thought (unscientifically) that they were quite efficient; the volume was pleasingly loud even at modest levels.

the ear-tips fit inside the ear canal and muffle all but the loudest outside noise therefore making them an excellent 'at home' listening option but probably not recommended while driving or even
from www.amazon.com
i walk the dog outside quite a bit and have a hard time hearing things around me like traffic or trail runners, which at times can be dangerous.
from www.amazon.com
with the dual drivers i can set them for 1/3 the volume of the bose and get much better sound without the bleeding eardrums.
from www.amazon.com
they don't fall out, but the seal is broken compromising the sound quality; this is an issue if you are walking along a road, for example.
from www.amazon.com
if you are in the market for some decent earphones, maybe the custom-2's would be a better match, perhaps it has a better driver for frequency response.
