Earbuds

3/4 guitar? Cheeky bugger! It was cold and I was wearing a big jumper and a thick coat!

Sorry, instead of edit I hit delete then everything hung for a while in the browser, I actually meant to imply it was an over-size guitar! (even cheekier).

Its a better picture actually… but you need to add the balloon with appropriate text.

Can I use a hearing aid and an earphone at the same time?

Only to listen to moveable frozen parts.

Hi Niel

I’ve got a pair of Sennheiser CX 500. Prices vary enormously but I think I paid about £30 for them last year. Sound quality is ok and much better than ipod phones.

Cheers

Did Al Jolson use Earbuds ?

I’m always careful about how loud I listen. I don’t mind cranking stuff up, but I never go for too long, and never at the loudness where it just doesn’t make any sense any more. I don’t use earbuds because you can push earwax in and clog things up. Plus they are just uncomfortable for me. I do love my Audio-Technica ATH M40fs though.

If you don’t mind spending the money, the triple-driver Shure SE535’s are beyond phenominal.

These earphones have redefined my portable musc listening experience. It’s a different thing than it was before - I can hear things I’ve never heard before in the music I listen to. Stunning really. But it costs close to $500, so it might be more than you want to spend.

$450 bucks for earbuds…to listen to mp3’s?!
That’s more than twice the price of my Beyerdynamic DT770pro studio cans.

For that price, they’d better defy the laws of physics.

Well, to listen to 256 kbps AAC minimum, some greater than that. I listen for 3-5 hours A DAY. They last 5+ years. They sound multiple times better than anything I’ve ever heard. Yes, that’s worth it to me.

Sounds fair enough to me. Lot of money but mama would approve if you make good use of them.

I always wondered what the difference between earphones and headphones was!

Here’s a site with a lot of good info on earphones:

http://www.earphonesolutions.com/

The Westone 3’s are supposed to be really good as well for $350, and also has triple drivers, although I’ve not heard them myself.

Wow – I had NO IDEA such things as high-dollar earbuds existed.

Love the Internet – learn something new almost daily

@Tones2

The key is just to listen at reasonable volume levels. I’ve not had any issues in my 25+ years of using earphones.

Nobody and I mean nobody can listen to Prog-Metal at a “reasonable level” – it’d be like sitting in a sauna bath set to room temperature
