In ear headphones

[sandyduff]

My sony in ear headphones recently broke, no sound out of the right ear piece... this is the second set iv had and again the same problem, they have lasted me a few years so im not overly bitter...

Anyhoo, im after some recommendations of in ear headphones, they will only be used with my ipod...

Ta... :)

is active noise canceling a necessity?

i have the sony mdr-nc22, but honestly the actually earphones aren't that great. I only have it cuz i'm on the skytrain (that's right not subway =P) and bus alot.

honestly, everyone is gonna flame for for this, but out of ALL the earphones i've ever had, my favorite is still the skullcandy Titan inears. Damn those earphones just have this really round and awesome bass noise that i love so much. I've tried countless brands and makes like bose, sony, etymotic, sennheiser and JVC but that's my honest opinion and conclusion.

Wow... now that is a coincidence... my mate was saying skull candy were pretty decent (i've never heard them) so i went onto play.com, read a few reviews and have purchased those exact earphones... skullcandy Titans.... coincidence or what? I should hopefully recieve them by the end of the week... il post and tell you what i think of them... :D

The titans are amazing!! The noise cancellation is brilliant!! Even when there is no music playing i can hardly hear a thing!! Sound quality is brilliant too, not too much bass, excellent clarity... brilliant stuff, much better than my old in ear sonys!!

:D

i have the skullcandy FMJ - very good -

Hmm, I've always liked the earphones that come with an iPod. Had a couple others, never liked them though. Had a $10 pair of Sonys that were pretty good. Now I'm using Apple earbuds with a mic and remote in the cord, work great as far as I'm concerned.

I've never like the ipod earphones... sound tinny and everyone else can hear them just as well as you!! I use my ipod in college so minimum noise is essential...

Skullcandies? :bang head

We were too late, on to the next thread.

My thoughts precisely, but let us not dwell on our elitism.

After all, sound is all subjective.

If sandy enjoys them, that is all that really matters.

Yea, skullcandys are GREAT compared to your stock buds, but their build quality is definatly questionable at times.

I recently got a pair of soundmagic PL21, £22.95 @ Hifi-Headphones, they are some nice phones too.
