They also come in lots of fabulous colours, which was one of the selling points, I admit. However, although they did a remarkable job at blocking outside noise so that I could listen to my music at a decent level rather than blasting it, they broke while I was on my Europe trip. I dunno if I was too rough with them in my purse or if they just suck, but I'm going to not recommend them, just in case.

I got some really good Sennheiser ear buds - they're pretty sweet! http://sennheiser.ca/main.php?node=ct_01&pro=96 They're available in a few places (locally, Future Shop & Best Buy) as well as online. They may seem a bit pricey, but they're a good, quality product. Heya!

And this will be North American travel for the most part - so power will be the same, though I should keep the old honeymoon in mind where I'll need EU (and Heathrow security) compatible stuff as well.

Go to Tom Lee and go to the back of the store. They've got them for about $89 vs London Drugs price of about $129. I LOVE them for flights. depending on where you're going you might always want to bring some Emergen-C (health food stores) and a travel electrical converter and adapter set. the Shure E2c’s are really good.
