Recommend "plugs" for the subway

Question

Iron

There is a desire not to waste time in the subway. Since I often listen to various online courses, I started downloading them to my phone and trying to watch them during the trip. Headphones can not cope even at maximum volume - I successfully listened to music in them in the subway, but the lectures where the medium volume is discussed does not work. Raising the volume level in the video did not help, still not everything is audible. Discovered such a thing as headphones with active noise cancellation. I stuck a marker in Yandex, began to read reviews, as usual, half praises, half writes that noise reduction does not work at all, all this is sometimes accompanied by accusations against a friend of amateurism. In general, the choice was not made. I decided to ask here, since the percentage of those who understand technology is much higher. So the requirements are:
1. Listening to lectures in the subway (Coursera courses)
2. Budget up to 2 tr.
3. The format of the ears is plugs.
4. On the same Yandex, I read that the unit that performs the noise reduction process can be of different sizes and requires a battery for itself, well, I want it to be smaller and not get in the way on the wire.

Here's a great one www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-ANC23-QuietPoint-Noise-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B004K09H32/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1371630001&sr=1-1&keywords=noise+cancelling+headphones

Answer 2

With active noise cancellation and up to 2 sput? Hmm... fig knows what to expect at this price. If you find something else...

Answer 3

Plugs are different for plugs. I myself use “vacuum” headphones from Samsung for $ 15 - there are practically no external noises in the metro. The main thing is to choose the size for yourself.

Answer 4

>> Headphones can't cope even at maximum volume - I successfully listened to music in them in the subway, but the lectures where the average volume is discussed does not work
Maybe it's not the headphones at all?
Try to make a preliminary equalization (we leave only the midrange: from 300 to 3600Hz), and only then normalize the volume level.
This will increase such a criterion as speech intelligibility and help to implement an analogue without “wheezing”
>> The volume level in the video did not help

Answer 5

C "gags" is difficult, it seems to me. At a minimum, the ear canals should be the same size. Therefore, for example, I first changed them to “polyurethane” (probably, that’s what they are called), which must first be squeezed with your fingers, and then switched to large bits (in my case, they are really well insulated).
On the merits of the issue:
Blaupunkt - time .
Blackbox - two .
