IPods, digital music players and even older CD players have the capability to sound incredible, but often don't thanks to the cheaply-made earphones that generally ship with these types of products. The signal-to-noise ratio of many portable audio and video players is superb, but it's all lost on those cool-but-shrill-sounding white iEarphones.
Sure, you can divvy up some cash for a pair of $100+ earphones from the likes of
Etymotic or
Shure, but why would you spend as much for those items as the audio player itself? Audiophiles will tell you that a good set of earphones is easily worth the money, but for most of us, the investment doesn't hold up. Enter the noise-canceling
earphone set for $20.
After watching the video below, are you up to the task? The required items are inexpensive and easy to find at a local Radio Shack or hardware store, so off you go, if you're up to it. Be prepared to never be audibly disturbed again while listening to those precious tunes.

Just made the same from Walmart using some shotgun ear defenders ($8) and some clip on headphones from panasonic ($8). The ear clips can be turned backwards to securely hug the foam padding which I removed first and then reinserted.
