Given that a lot of new technology has come on the market since the original DIY headset threads started in about 2007, I thought I'd start a new one to try to get a feel for what earbud-type headphones seem to be working well. I'd like to get started building a set myself.
The Shure E2C's that showed up in the first few threads seem to currently cost $150+ (Amazon); the Comply NR-10 about $60-75. These seem to be the most commonly referenced. Now there seem to be a bunch of earbuds that described themselves as "noise cancelling" or "noise-isolating" at lower prices, but I'd rather start with something that has a good track record.
What have you used that has worked well and, more importantly, stood the test of time?
For those who haven't followed them, here are some of the old 2007 threads:
