If your a remote worker, travel frequently & code from a variety of environments, what headphones are you using, and/or what do you consider the best current product choice for travel/work headphones?

It depends on what you&#x27;re looking for in size&#x2F;portability. Personally, I don&#x27;t mind lugging around big cans. Beyer DT770, Sony MDR-7506, Audio Technica ATH-M50, Sennheiser PX100 are all good options. I&#x27;ve owned all of the above except for the DT770s, but I break headphones a lot, so right now I have AKG K240s which are probably not ideal because they&#x27;re half-open and will leak a little noise to the surrounding environment.<p>The 7506s are actually my favorite I think. They&#x27;re affordable but don&#x27;t feel cheap. Good isolation. They&#x27;re very simple looking compared to others but have a unique sound that I miss. Might get another pair soon.

Noise isolation &amp; travel: Shure SE215 earphones. Good quality at a reasonable price. You can coil them up into a zipper baggie to keep them clean, prevent tangling and to reduce the amount of space they take up in your carry-on.<p>Sound quality &amp; home office: Sennheiser HD485 (which seem to have been replaced in their lineup by the HD558&#x27;s) Doesn&#x27;t block any noise, and people can hear what you&#x27;re listening to. But excellent bass response and they have a long cord. Comfortable for longer wearing sessions.
