Sumajin's sound isolating SEP-001 in-ear earphones block unwanted exterior noise from ruining your music listening experience. Unlike active noise canceling headphones, there's no fancy destructive interference here, but more of a brute force, passive sound isolation thing going on.

Sumajin's including a few extras with its earphones, like a Smartwrap cable manager, airline adapter plug and a travel pouch. The earphones should sell for around $40. – Nicholas Deleon
