Has anyone picked up the new color "Golden" ones?  The stock pictures look like its rose/gold however the actual customer pics look more of a traditional gold color. Can anyone confirm if they are a more traditional gold color or rose/gold? 

Just a heads up. Looks like they're back to $24.99 But they are offering free shipping if u order online.

I was shopping around for good headphones to use for running. I work near J&R Musicworld. If anyone is interested J&R is selling Koss Sportapros for $14.99 + shipping. http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=24803

My iPod stock earbuds just stopped working on the right channel. I've been meaning to upgrade anyway. I did a search and I have narrowed my choices to: Sennheiser: MX500 Sony: MDR EX51 or 71 Panasonic: RP HJE50 I read that the Sennheiser MX500s have a short 3' cord. I normally carry my...

I am looking to upgrade my iPod headphones. I normally use my iPod while walking on the street in NYC. Would the Sony EX71 headphones isolate background noise too much to be used for walking in a crowded city? I need to at least be able to hear cars coming.

Does anyone use the PX200s for running/working out? I am wondering how durable they are & if they can withstand sweat or rain if I am running outdoors. I tried them out at J&R Musicworld's wall of headphones.

I want to get a set of budget earphones for my iPod. I mainly use my iPod for commuting on the NYC subway, NJ PATH trains, & for outdoor running. How are the Sony EX71s for outdoor running(not treadmill)? Do they stay in your ear well? Also do they make a lot of unwanted noise from the...

I ordered a set from eCost as a gift. They offer free shipping but they charge you a handling fee which is about $5 on those.

That was really cool. It looks like a lot of work though to put a short clip on the iPhoto. If they make an iPod that is smaller & can do video easily I might consider buying one.

I am going to get an iPod within the next 2 weeks. I know that I want the 40GB iPod. I will use it for commuting to work & running/jogging. In your opinion, is it worth it to spend the extra $ for the 40GB iPod Photo vs. the 4th Gen 40GB? I plan to use it for music only although the...

I am considering picking up an iPod as I am a runner & often max out the songs on my CDs during a run. I will also use it on my morning commute. Can the iPod handle running outdoors without skipping? i.e. shock from running, sweat

I use Grado SR-60s with my Digitech GNX3 which is a similar guitar amp modeler as the Line 6 POD. I don't crank the volume too high but I play loud enough to hear the detail in my playing & I haven't noticed any damage to the headphones as of yet (knock on wood). I also use the Grado SR-60s...

Thanks to all for the replies.

Can the Koss PortaPro 2s be used for jogging or running? I am paticularly interested to know if they are resistant to sweat of if they will get ruined if I run in the rain w. them.

My Sony Sports headphones recently stopped working. The left channel keeps cutting out. I need to pick up a good set of headphones for running & working out. Any recommendations? I need them to be weather & sweat resistant. My budget is $20 -$40 since these will get thrashed around.

I have a brand new pair of Grado SR-60s which are about 3 days old. They sound amazing & exceeded my expectations. The other day I was playing guitar with them & I noticed a slight buzzing or rattling sound when I played bassy chords on the clean channel of my guitar amp. I don't hear the...

I picked up a pair of SR-60s last week from Cambridge for 15% off & free shipping. It came in 3 business days. One thing to be aware of when I looked at the invoice from Cambridge it states that there is a 15% restocking fee for any items returnrd that are not new or in new condition. Not a...

This is a newbie question: I realize that no headphones are good for your hearing & that volume plays the most crucial role in preserving your hearing. With all things being equal: Are open phones better for preserving your hearing than closed phones?

I've been recommended the AKG 240S by many musicians for guitar playing & recording. Can anyone offer any opinions on how these compare to the Sony V6/7506 &/or Grado SR-80?

I am cosidering picking up an entry level set of Grados. I will mostly use them for guitar playing & some entry level recording. Is there a noticable difference in sound quality &/or comfort between the SR60 & SR80s? How is the durability on Grados? I tend to take the headphones off & on...

Has anyone ever bought refurbished Sony headphones. If so what has your experience been? They seem to have good prices on Sony V6s at SimplyCheap.com The site says most are just customer returns or open boxes.

I have an opportunity to purchase either the HD 555s or 580s at about the same price. Which would be a better buy? I plan on using these primarily for computer use running through the output of my powered computer speakers. I will also use them for guitar playing & also running them through...

This is my 1st post on this awesome forum. Can anyone give me a recommendation for accurate sound reproduction when playing guitar through a guitar amplifier? I would like to use the same headphones for listening to music. My budget is approx. $100 & I can use open or closed headphones...
