I have a 1st Generation iPod Nano (4GB) and I recently started using it to listen to music outside again.
And those iPod earphones REALLY suck. When I was on the train all I could hear was the outside sounds.
So help me out.
This is what I need
- Not TOO noise canceling. My mom has this issue with safety. If it is too noise canceling I won't be able to hear things like a truck honking when it's just about to hit me or like a fire bell or a gun shot or something.
- I want IEMs.
- I listen to a lot of hip hop, and when I'm not I'm usually listening to most of the mainstream stuff that other teenagers listen to.
- Comfort is a big issue. I usually go on the computer at night and I don't want to make any noises to disturb anyone in the house. When I use my iPod earphones for a long period of time my ears start hurting.
- Durability... Not too fragile? I plan on putting them in my pocket most of the time. My iPod earphones are still here today and they are functioning very well.
- Looks... Like I said I don't want something that's like ****ing huge. I'd probably give some of those in ears a try or some really compact headphones.
- And probably the most important... Price. I see some of these headphones can go up to really high prices... I'm happy to spend up to around $100 on these headphones, but of course the lower the price the better.
And if there is anyone here that lives or has been to Hong Kong... Where is a good place to buy headphones?
EDIT - New specification... These headphones must be sold at this website
