Howdy gents!
I'm in need of a second opinion: I travel the train everyday in a silence coupé yet people keep talking. I've developed a diplomatic method for dealing with this, however, I don't feel like constantly policing the train. Therefor I've opted to block the noise out.
At the moment I'm using cheap 10 euro earplugs that block out general ambient noise, they work well and lower the stress endured whilst traveling, however (again a however!!), I'm looking for something that blocks out people talking.
My budget is a maximum of 100 euro, and it needs to be mobile (smallish package) and not too heavy.
Any advice?!?
i.e. Is it worth buying a cheap active noise cancelling headphone, or shouldn't I bother? etc etc.
Aid my frail brain!!!

I've tried an active noise cancelling headphone at school once, and it was amazing how good it worked. The problem though is that it was probably way above your budget, and my definition of "mobile" wasn't close to that thing :). Earplugs are probably the best option.
Or use pink noise

The problem with active noise cancelling is that it actually produces destructive interference which actually degrades the quality of your music! And they're expensive... And all the headphones with them are pretty gimicky (Beats Studios, Bose etc)
Sony MDR-1R? Over ear, noise isolation, good quality, relatively cheap...
