Sennheiser PXC 350 headphones
You're almost ready to head off on your travels, but there's one more thing you'll need, and it'll make the journey all the more enjoyable -- a good pair of headphones. We've chosen the Sennheiser PXC 350 headphones for their terrific sound quality.

Another reason we like using the Sennheiser PXC 350s is that they offer superb sound cancellation, which as any seasoned traveller will know is very handy when you're on a noisy aeroplane or train.

It's another bit of kit we can't live without when we're travelling around and something we treasure deeply. You can pick a pair of Sennheiser PXC 350s up for about £230 from several online retailers, including Amazon. -Andrew Lim

100 quid for a bag?? Perhaps you should look for a new trolley to replace the one you're off (of). Bags are free in ASDA

Why bulky USB modem instead of using your 3G phone as a modem?

Again, without (heavy) lenses, for non-professionals DSLR offers very little advantages over carefully chosen compact camera, if the total weight is a major factor. I would go with Sony R1 - it has almost DSLR-sized sensor and excellent built-in optics. Similar optic for DSLR would cost 1-2 grands and weight 2 kilograms.

I would also skip the Sennheisers for plug-type earphones e.g. from Etymotic. They offer even better noise isolation and weights a tiny fraction of Sennheisers.

How about the N95 with Gps and 5Mbit Camera, wireless network. Only downside is the battery...
