Hello. I need help finding neutral sounding ear buds. I don't like IEMs because my ear canals are small and even when they do fit, they give me a massive headache every time. I know there are studio over the ear headphones, but I want something I can carry around. I don't think my expectations...

Hey headfiers I never had good earphones. Only earpods or good headphones like sennheiser hd380 and koss dj200. Do brainwavz deltas represent an upgrade from earpods?

Hi,   I am hoping that somebody here can help me out with some suggestions.     Here are my requirements:     Must allow ambient noise in as will be used for running, so all IEMs are out unless there are any where ambient noise can be heard  (this would be the perfect solution!).  ...

Im going into high school and i want some new headphones. The main concerns are price sound and look. The sound has to have decent base and clear high lows and mids. I listen to rap but bass isnt that important to me. The price should be $100-150 and they should be portable and look decent. I...

I was wondering if there are any IEMs similar to the Apple Earpods with respect to the fact that they don't have any kind of tip that inserts into the ear canal. I've tried IEM tips in every possible shape and material and all of them have been intolerably uncomfortable. I finally had some ear...

Hi, i´m thinking about replacing the EarPods that came with my iPhone 5, because they dont fit in the ear properly (my left ear canal seems to be too small^^) Quality wise they are OK as I have better headphones for home use. I do NOT want an isolating IEM!   So the question is, should...

Don't actually sound like total crap?     Complete suprise since its coming from apple. Maybe I need to get my ears checked.

Im looking to buy some new earbuds and Ive done a bunch of google searches but IEM's keep coming up and thats not what Im looking for. I just want regular earbuds not the in ear type. I listen to a lot of current trance music, markus schulz type stuff etc.... I have an iPod Touch/iPhone and I...

So I'm about to burn-in my earpods with regular songs .. is it safe to burn it at max volume on my 120GB ipod classic ? The audio doesn't sound distorted so .. I think it's safe . is it ?

A couple days ago, my best friend approached me asking for advice on a decent, Android-compatible earphone with a microphone. She said that couldn't find anything else, she would go ahead with either the Apple Earpods or the older Apple buds. My first thought was the Sony MH1C - less expensive...

I dont like inserting IEMs into my ear canals. I am ok with the apple ipod style earbuds. I just need something a bit more comfortable and better sounding. What can I consider for earbuds in the $25-30 range ?

I'm looking for earbuds or IEMs to use with my phone to listen to music while I'm walking around outside.   Low isolation so I don't bump into people or fail to hear a car.  Sturdy so they won't get destroyed in my pocket when I'm not listening.  Comfortable for obvious reasons.  They...

I am looking for a nice set of earbuds, not IEMs since I need to be aware of outside sounds. A pair that doesn't leak too much sound would be preferable    I've been looking at the Yuin PK3s as I know they were very popular years ago but I haven't been around on audiophile websites in years...

This is intended as a quick comparison of the stock headset you’ll get from buying a smartphone these days. For most part of its history, stock headset is more like a free gift from the cellphone maker and a tool of convenience. It is not until the smartphone era that companies start to include...

I have always looked in an hifi system a good bass extension, that reach around 30Hz at least.   I have got a Senss 600 and AKG 701 that properly ampliffied fulfil my bass expectations.   I am looking for some IEMs with good bass and sub-bass extension but without losing middle and high...

How do I put this? First of all hello. Now that I'm done sounding like a dork... it's time for me to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about (there's a very good reason for that). I like putting a pair of cans on my head. They're generally comfortable, and sound good. They are however not...

Thoughts on Apple EarPods   Who would have thought that the one interesting piece of Apple tech to come out of 2012 would be a new set of "iBuds"? Certainly not me, but here they are, already on sale for $29 in all of their glossy white glory. Genuinely curious, I borrowed a pair of EarPods...

What do you guys think of the new EarPods? 3 years of design for a new headphone. Included in the 5th generation iPod Touch, 7th generation nano, and with the new iPhone 5...            

I didn't see an appreciation thread here. So this thread is for everyone out there enjoying their new Apple EarPods!   So as my screen name suggests, I like my iPhone to be my one stop shop for music.  The old Apple Earbuds never fit for me (or my wife) and would always fall out, rendering...

I'm sick and tired of having to use earbuds that lasts for no more than a year. The longest record I had was close to 2 years with my panasonic ones. But since then I've been buying Audio Techs, Sony, TDK, A-Jays, and a few others that I can't think of right now. And each of them died of the...

Using them from an iPod classic unamped.   Using them on a commute 50/50: walking/tram.   Mostly listen to alternative rock (Chili Peppers, Black Keys), classic rock, rap/hip-hop and a bit of electronica (written in the order of importance).   I like a warm, immersive sound, that is...

From Apple's keynote at the WWDC just now.                          "There's a port in back for midtones, a port in the stem and a port that points to your ears. It's to "maximize airflow"." - Engadget   Interesting Design, long over due revamp...

I Just saw live blog of apple iphone 5 launch.. they launched ipod's as well.. new ones..all of them..     What caught my eye was...   EarPods..!                         New pic from apple website..            ...

directed speaker port that points forward into your ear canal. "scanned hundreds of ears looking for commonality." The shape of the EarPod is actually defined by the geometry of your ear, but they don't create a seal the way other in-ear headphones do There's a port in the back for...

Along with the iPhone 5, Apple released their 'Earpods' (I know, strange..). The former apple earbuds were, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best earbuds around. Earbuds typically don't sound all that good, but the Apple earbuds were of acceptable quality, especially for being bundled...
