"I tried noise canceling headphones and they did nothing for me. That's why I switched to noise blocking headphones. What an improvement! I can't even begin to tell you. I wouldn't go near noise canceling models again. "
I'm not sure I know the difference! And to be honest, I'm not sure mine are true noise canceling, they might just filter the noise (they don't claim to do it 100%, in my subjective experience, they screen out the noise from being in the cabin of an airplane by about 70%) what are these two types, and what are their differences?
"For under $20, my Griffin Earjams are pretty darn good. What they lack in detail they more than make up for in bass and volume. I'll probably try to find at least one more pair before they dry up. "
I agree with h' about Earjams, I just ordered some. I'd used them before, and found they solve the problem of Apple's free earbuds (fit better in the ear) and improve the sound moderately as well. You can get 'em now for about 7 bucks plus shipping by using Dealmac or other site comparison sites.
