Earphones for iPad (and other i products too!)

[Luvntravln]

I am looking for a good (not the best for thousands of $) set of earphones for music and movies.

What are you using; why do you like them?

What have you rejected and why?

Thanks,

I don't know if they are available down there, but I use JVC "Marshmallow" ear buds. They are only $20 (USD) and sound great!

Ok, I'm a sucker. I've tried just about every headphone on the market up to $200 and to tell you the truth, my favorite by far costs $30 from Creative.

EP-630 | Creative Labs Online Store

I've bought now three pairs, including a version that has the mute switch for iPhone. Why three pairs? They literally never leave my person, either they're hanging around my neck, or they're stuffed in my pocket. I have the bad habit of hanging them on things when I'm walking around, or unceremoniously ripping them from my ears while I sleep. I like them because the sound quality is amazing with thumping bass and crisp highs. I also really like the price. They also have an offset design where one side is longer than the other so that they can go around your neck - that makes it easier when they're not in your ears. shop around, their are several brands marketing the exact same earbud, and they are all exactly the same.

Thanks numblock, anyone interested in those headphones you can get them for very cheap on eBay.

I use motorola S9HD & S805. these are very good Bluetooth head phones. Earbuds I use jLabs. They are very good. If you want something like grado's you will need a headphone amp. Here is a good small pocket amp. Welcome to Electric-Avenues.com - More About The Portable Headphones Amplifier (PA2V2). At 60 bucks it is very good deal.

Thanks everyone, I am only looking for light earbuds with reasonable sound. I am going to check out the Creative buds; also looking at Klipsch Image S4 earphones which Cnet gave a very high rating (Klipsch Image S4 earphones Review - Watch CNET's Video Review)

I got the Klipsch S4's last week and love them. Better than any other ear buds I've tried at a reasonable cost ($70-80). Very comfortable, excellent noise cancellation, and very rich sound. Unless you go super high-end ($300+), it's hard to go wrong with these.

Have the bose in Ear ones. They are not the best, but sturdy and provide good Bass!

eSure makes and outstanding product. The cheapest earbuds run around 100 and are worth the money. The most expensive I think is arounf 500. I have a pair of the e5c's which at the time was top of the line, but I got them for free so... Anyway. I like the sound quality from the sony earbuds that wrap around your ear. I think they are 12.99 or something like that in the states.

For over the ear I have the Bose Q3C's or whatever they are. I think they are outstanding, but my esures sound better. I wish they could put the esure drivers with the Bose anr. That would make an outstanding audio device

Jlabs makes good Eco earbuds. These are highly rated on amazon.

I am a Bose guy for nearly thirty years.
Still have my Studiocraftvspeakersvfrom then, working fine.
As such, Bose QC3 for noise canceling is what I use.
Bose in ear for when I want something lite.
Love Bose.

Well, I've review a number of threads concerning Bluetooth earphones - I have an iPod and a new iPad - would love to be non-corded to my iPod (like when on a treadmill!).

There have been some excellent recommendations in this and other threads; however, when I review these products on Amazon, the ratings are often just 3* or so w/ many negative comments (e.g. quality of sound & comfort) - also, many of these are rather expensive, some (esp. w/ noise cancellation) approaching the cost of an iPad!

What am I looking for in a Bluetooth earphone set: 1) Affordability (would like to not pay much over $50); 2) Comfort (don't like ear buds as much as the other options); 3) Sound quality (is this technology really mature?); and 4) Compactness (I travel a lot and want earphones that are small, fold, and take up little room).

Thus, just to continue this thread - what may be my best options? Thanks all for your input -

Creative EP630 or Sennheiser CX300 ( or varients of) are both good bets for a value earphone - careful of eBay as there are lots if counterfeit of both of these. Higher-end; klipsch, jaybird, monster beats, skullcandy and atomic floyd are all good.

I had the s4i's and someone took them off my desk. :-(
