Intriguing Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Why is it that all the good ear buds are $80+? Why is it that all the good cars are $1000+? Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpbizkit Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have these earbuds. I've had them since February and they still work great, they're really comfortable in my ears and probably won't fall out unless you grease your ears or something ;) Nevermind... Don't get them. Mine just broke after only 7 months :( I go through a pair of headphones a month and your complaining over 7? Oo Tif 360 MGC Leaderboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 7 months is good for 'buds. Personally I prefer over-ear headphones as I find buds very uncomfortable, but when it's not practical to have a bulky headset I will use them. And @OP: you need to spend more for quality, as Intriguing pointed out. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apple ones had lasted like 9 months before I got the ones that just broke. And it's not like I used them occasionally, my iPod got use almost every day.

aquariusman Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My iPod buds lasted about 6 months, and most of the earbuds I use last 6 months. And I mean real heavy, falling asleep with them on, tangled up in my pocket, step on them, sit on them, drop them in the toilet usage. I've seriously dropped them in the toilet once or twice. I don't even buy expensive ones, I buy the cheapo $15 ones. I do want to go to some headphone/music specialty store and see what the difference really is between the headphones I use now and a good quality pair. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Echofish Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 About this, I just lost ALL my earbuds for my Sony Ericsson phone. Now I have odd-sized pairs which is, well, odd. I heard Proporta was giving some out for free but not only is the stock gone they have it in a different colour. :sadface: Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine...

nine naked men Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Here's a relatively good pair of headphones. I use Sennheiser myself, though. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed the entire "earbuds" part of the thread, lol. One of my main points was that I wanted earbuds, not headphones. And skullkandy does not work for me. They fall out of my ears. Anyway.. It looks like Sennheisers are very popular. Maybe I'll go for a pair of these http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/pr ... sid=500950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have a set of Sennheiser 595's, and honestly they're spectacular. When watching movies on my 42", I'll actually use my headphones since they're extremely comfortable and the sound quality is absolutely amazing. They're also great hardcore gaming and music headphones. Disadvantage: They're $300+ go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abelmisi Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've had a horrible experience with standard earbuds (they either fall out, or completely suck in the sound department), so I'd suggest going with in-ear headphones. This is the one I had for about a year (The cord broke) http://www.amazon.com/Shure-E2c-Sound-I ... 605&sr=8-1 and they were really good. What I have now is something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-Full-M ... 840&sr=1-3, I can say that they do the job as well. If you are really big on bass tho, I would suggest going with full size headphones. http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-SCS-SC ... 918&sr=1-3 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V700DJ-S ... 069&sr=8-1 These cost a lot, but they offer a lot richer sound than any of the earbuds.

Kill_Thomas9 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Well today I went to the store and bought a pair of these: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/pr ... sid=500830 AMAZING. The music quality for my computer sucks (and iTunes isn't too great either), and always has this annoying background scratchy noise when music is [or has recently been] playing, but using my iPod Nano, which is a little better, the music sounds incredible. When people talk to me, I literally have no idea what they are saying. I just see their lips moving, and no sound comming out. And the bass is so incredible. A million times better than the apple ear buds, and it actually feels powerful. And these are the cheapest earbuds they make. (Btw, listening to music that is at 256kbps helps.. a lot. Underoath ftw.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragoonson Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I have an unbranded pair that the cushioning broke on the day I started wearing them...Now they are scratchy and fall off if I shake me head (like to music).My headphones on the other hand,the left side broke off.I paid sixty dollars for that to break in a month.Going to buy some more soon,I guess,preferably with a mike.Good brand recs? so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

jjrox32 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't understand how you guys can stand wearing earbuds. They start to make my ears ache after 15 minutes or so, the sound quality is normally pretty bad. I prefer small, compact non-earbud headphones like Sennheiser PX200's, which are very comfortable and fold up small enough to fit in my pocket (they're cheap too, less than $100 or so).

Jernlov Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 @guy who posted Bose: Bose products are horribly overpriced and in my experience they seem to sound inferior to Sennheister, AKG, Grado, Sony etc. Also, I'd recommend Koss PortaPro headphones to anyone who prefers compact headphones rather than earbuds.
