Default Headphones - 04-17-2005, 03:01 PM

I just lost the felt covering on one of the earbuds that my zen micro came with. They had quality to them, but my biggest complaint was that they fell out sometimes if you didn't put them in the perfect way.

I'm going to Denmark May 5th and I want to have a good pair of headphones that I can take with me. I really want good quality with a compact size...something i can fit into my pocket easily. Right now, I have no idea about any of the headphones out on the market so cost doesn't really matter at the moment. I'll weed through the ones that fit my budget..


Anyone have any good suggestions?

Anything from Sennheiser.


They make the absolute best headphones.

jeez, $150 for those puppies. They better sound like a live performance or I'd want my money back.


wow, I was looking around on google and found these http://www.shure.com/earphones/eseries_e3c.asp. Those are the ones my dad has...I never would have thought they were that expensive. They are very very nice, but not worth that much money.

annoy: I dont understand how anybody can use cheap headphones... yuck

Senn makes great cans, I dont know about buds, what I do know is Shure is at the top of the bud world for the most part. A few other companies make good ones too, but Shure's are my favorites. I have their e3c's and love them, very balanced little guys. Very tight and accurate bass, laid back highs, all around a great set.

oOo:[/quote:a1ab9]rich..ha, I'd wish I could say that. I said that I lost the felt covering on it and because of that, it is even harder for it to stay in the ear. It just falls out since there is no friction to keep it held in place.

If you don't have anything helpful to say, then I suggest you stay out of the thread.



As for the other guys giving feedback, I appreciate it. Thanks.

happy: I don't intend on sharing these with the world. I want a pair for their compact qualities. I bought a small player so I could fit it in my pocket so I should have a small set of headphones to go along.

edit: your friend is disgusting, not the buds themselves.

uhhh not much choice in it, you cant really bring an amp and speakers around with you. But at home, it is MUCH easier to achieve perfect sound with $1000 cans and an amp then with $1000 of amps, speakers, etc...
