Amazon's Price: $29.99
Type: In Ear
Description:Pretty much the same can be said for these earphones as the MDR-EX71SL though the lower end bass frequencies are a bit different. For audio books this should not play a factor and thus for the same style and design as the 71's at a lower price this is a pair of ear buds to consider.

| Sony MDR-NC11 |
 | Price: 149.99 Retail
Amazon's Price: $99.94
Type: In Ear - Noise Canceling
Description:Small enough to keep with you at all times and ideal for achieving peace and quiet in planes, trains, buses, and cars, Sony's MDRNC11 noise-canceling Fontopia ear-bud headphones reduce perceived outside noise by more than 70 percent (up to 10 dB at 300 Hz) so you can hear musical nuances against a quieter background.
The headphones' noise-canceling circuit senses outside noise using tiny, built-in microphones and sends an equal-but-opposite canceling signal to the headphone drivers, effectively blocking solid-state (continuous) noise from 50 to 1,000 Hz. It's especially effective on noises like air-conditioning systems, freeway rumble, and airplane engines (from a passenger's perspective).
