an idea for WHF

[Big Aura]

lots of people ask me about gym headphones - basically, they want headphones to use in a noisy environment. Noise cancelling is fine for aircraft drone, but not so useful for blocking out the horrible music the gym enforces on its members.
So - is there a definitive list of what's useful (both in-ear AND on-ear) for use in an environment with lots of background noise. And, I guess actual road testing in the gym or a busy highstreet, would be better than the serenity of the WHF state of the art listening rooms!

And another:

There should have been many more, but forum users *rarely* put essential info in the header, so unless I spend all day looking (or you spend all day looking), this is the best I can do.
