BEST EARPHONES FOR AUDIO BOOKS  ![Best Earphones for Audio Books]() Talking books have come a long way since their days in vinyl record format. With the invention of new technology, more and more readers are feasting their ears on the words of their favorite authors while commuting, working out, performing household chores or just relaxing.
From classics to contemporary, from educational to entertaining, if books are food for the soul, we recommend you feed your ears with the sound isolating Westone 1 or Shure SE210 — our picks as best earphones for audio books due to their enhanced mid range (where vocals are).
Sound isolating earphones prevent noise from entering the ear by use of a plastic, rubber or foam sleeve that surrounds the earphone. It fits inside the ear where the sleeve creates a snug fit. Along with its unique acoustic properties, it keeps outside noise from getting inside the ear. The Westone 1 is one of the highest sound isolating earphones (up to 44dB sound isolation).

 | | Westone 1 Earphones
With the new released Westone 1 the competition should be very worried about this new kid on the block as it poses a threat to models all the way up to $200 when in fact it sells for $139. The Westone 1 has just been released and it's much more than a simple improvement on the UM1. It's actually a more affordable version of all the best principles in construction, driver, comfort and fit acquired by Westone on their $300 plus models.

 | | Shure SE210-K Black Earphones
The Shure SE 210-K Earphones are best for those looking for comfort and very good detail on mids and highs. The SE 210-K’s bass is tighter than the Shure "E" series, giving you more definition on the low end of the frequency range. However, it may also sound like "less bass" when playing heavier bass songs. EXCELLENT comfort and design. If it weren't for the fact that the SE210 are slightly bigger than the more expensive earphones, the fit and comfort would be about the same as the top of the line SE530.

 | | Westone UM1 Single Driver True Fit In-Ear Earphones MADE IN USA
After its big brother the UM2, the Westone UM1 Single Driver True Fit is the next most comfortable set of earphones we've reviewed. We find them to be a direct competition for the Shure SE110, Shure SE210, Shure SCL2 and Shure SCL3. The UM1 offers a more balanced output, a more comfortable fit, and better designed cables.
