high dB environment like the tube, not so much.
It depends a bit on your tube, but you're right. These absolutely will not work on a noisy tube. For that you really need some proper noise cancelling jobs.
My youngest broke my already ropey OneOdios so I'm now using my Motikom motorbike headset for the Jubilee line - which is an in-ear with excellent noise blocking, and good noise cancelling.
Even so, on the train bit of my commute and the walk to/from the station I still often use the cheapo ones as they're light and easy to pop in/out. I'm still impressed in terms of voice calls (previously their main use) and use them when cooking or listening to a podcast in bed. I like that I can keep them in my pocket to use as/when (but that applies to most of these things I guess).
Just to reiterate though they are cheap and not an audiophile listening experience.

It isn't as good as over ear 'phones; i guess there are limitations in what you can achieve with buds.
It's fine for office / walking about, high dB environment like the tube, not so much.
