NJS 3990 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yeah Shures are the biz - I have a pair of 4s - get some off E-bay as you get a range of ear inserts or can buy new ones so no hygiene worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've got Shure E2Cs which I've had a few times now. Really, really good quality earphones and the noise cancellation works a treat (necessary when getting the bus through Byker every morning). Also it's a slightly cheaper option compared to other Shure ones, depends how much you want to pay though. My only criticism with that particular model is that the wires inside sometimes get a bit mangled so you lose sound, I don't care for mine particuarly well though so that probably doesn't help.

Kid Dynamite 6065 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Ive got these, bit steep but worth the money ( they can be found a hell of a lot cheaper than this!) http://www.amazon.com/Bang-Olufsen-A-8-A8-...3961435-1779636 tbh you dont get the sound quality out of an i pod cos if your anything like me 90percent of the music on there is off an mp3 Edited July 19, 2008 by J69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 87 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 true enough, though aacs (if you are using itunes they are known as m4a files) have better compression algorithms.... yawn. most of the above recommendations are very nice for your needs...

Fop 1 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I got some Bose QC3s, not sure there is a better headphone available. Are they genuinely that good? Bose stuff is usually pretty good, but often not all it's made up to be (Bose car systems and Ipod docks for instance are good, but not astounding).

Never been that impressed by any iPod docks, the Bose one i had a few years ago was alright, did a job. These things come into their own when you're traveling, the sound is lush, the clarity across the sound spectrum is exceptional. They aren't pro ones though.

Yeah people that have them do seem to be well pleased with them, I've been very tempted since the first model, guess I'm going to have to get around to listening to a set.

Fop 1 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Some of those in-ear ones look like specifically designed deafness aids (which isn't the same thing as hearing aids, although you made need them later). Like sunglasses you insert around the eyeball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WubbleUC 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Doink. Any others I should know about? My iPod heedphones have just died and I fancy getting a decent pair this time, as I use it every day. The temporary shit pair I'm using at the minute are..shit. It's like listening to my music whilst being rolled down a hill in a giant metal tin. Edited February 16, 2009 by WubbleUC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have got three pair of Shure when Play had the deal on a couple of months back, they still have £30 off though.... http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...es/Product.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
