Title: Dang it!
Post by: Miiman56 on May 26, 2008, 04:14:49 PM
My only pair of good ear buds broke. Now I can only hear out of one side. Now I have to wear the ones that go all around your head.

And to give this thread meaning what new kind should I get.  I'm looking  mainly for comfort, I can deal with the rest.

Skull Candy is a good brand. Try them. Especially them outside sound prevention ear buds.

That happened to me (and on my regular headphones as well >_>). I first had a Skull Candy ones, really good quality sound, but one or the buds got semi disconnected from the wire (probably from my way of taking out ear buds...). I've heard (no pun intended :P) that it was either the Phillips or the Gummy ear buds where good. I myself haven't really checked those out yet.

Not ear buds, but great Headphones according to Rio (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-202-Headphones/dp/B000065BP9/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211859469&sr=1-6)

I'm for the classic iPod earbuds... Not really.

I really don't know anything about headphones. I just buy what works and use it.

Sennheiser HD 202, like Darklink said.

They're the best friggin' headphones you can get for 20 dollars. Avoid earbuds, etc.

Bose in-ear headphones (earbuds).  They're $99, but they're comfortable as heck and the sound quality is the best I've ever heard from earbuds, especially the bass support.  It rivals my subwoofer.

Not to mention the amazing customer support that Bose offers and the free extras that you may or may not need.

As usual, the Philips earhook things that I posted once.
Uh, just search on Amazon for 'Philips earhooks' and they're the first result.
They're amazingly comfortable.

Look at all those good reviews, and they're cheap. :o

I use the Nintendo DS ear phones.

(Because I don't like ear buds.)

The problem I have with Bose is that they create generally the same thing as their competitors, but price it a lot more.
