Earphones

Conor456 — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:27:13 GMT

Hi, new to all this and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a great pair of "in ear" earphones - the ones you would use for exercise. Ive heard Sennheiser are good but they 're quite expensive. I used to have sony groove earphones which were so comfortable but as everyone says, they just break too easily!
Thanks in advance

there is a pair of sony ones that are £30 and are meant to be really confortable. i also think it is a twist free cord. i am going to buy a pair later on

I have those, and I think they're great as they're nicely cushoned

I have those too, the total isolation from being "In the Ear" took me a bit of getting used to, but they sound great and have bass.

They now seem cheaper than they were.

I had to import my white ones :smileygrin:

I like the way they don't give you ear pains....

Hi there, took your advice and bought the MDR-EX71 yesterday. They sound great and are very comfortable... only problem is they keep coming loose when i go for a run! I'll keep them though. Are there any other good earphones i could try? Thanks for your advice

I use them too, great headphones, have you tried using one of the larger rubber buds?

For running you probably need the streetstyle headphone which can grip onto your ears.

Otherwise it's back to the classic band.

Thanks man. Yeah i used to have them, (think they used to be called sony groove earphones) they were great but are very delicate. i've went through 3 pairs of them. So annoyed the other pair dont fit right, spent £35 on them. Borrowed my sisters standard ipod earphones and guess what - they stay on perfectly (granted the sound quality isnt as good though).

I sold my iPod earphones as they're not the best.
I bet they do that on purpose though!

the ipod headphones wont be that great as apple will have spend heaps of money on making your ipod they will need to cut costs so they provide crap headphones

Try getting a pair of Sony MDR-E818LP earphones. These have a silent cap to avoid disturbing others with your music.

They also feature neodymium magnets for crystal clear treble, mid-range and bass response. Because these magnets are so powerful keep them well away from anything sensitive like TV's, computer monitors, floppy disks etc.

I got my last pair - Fontopia design - for £10 (MDR-E818LP) and they get used daily when I'm out jogging and listening to my electronica music collection lol

I'm using an earlier model MDX EX70 of the year 2002. They are still working well.
