  So my current pair of headphones can only work if you put the plug in a certain way, and if the cord near the plug is straightened or in a certain direction.   I'm 100% certain it is because I have a nasty habit of wrapping my 'phones around my iPhone tightly. I've had many pairs of...

I'm looking for some noise cancelling headphones for use in my dorm. It can be pretty loud sometimes, but if the doors are closed and music is on, it's not that bad.   Can anyone recommend some inexpensive noise-cancelling headphones? 

I'm looking for durable IEMs with iPhone/iPod controls, and the Etymotic HF3 come to mind, according to it's Amazon product page it has a "kevlar reinforced cable"   I also know of the Klipsch S5i, with it's big remote designed for outdoor use.    What other durable IEMs with ipod...

Quote:   I'm not sure if it's my music files, but I feel like the songs aren't as "clear" as I'd like them to be. I feel like the bass has a big influence in the way the music plays to my ears, and I feel like the bass "booms" a little and it is a bit muddy. I listen to...

Thanks for your input. I saw your review on the Phiatoon 200s! The packaging looks like a lot of thought went into it. 

Right now, Amazon has the Phiaton 200 shipped for about $150. I think this is a decent price for them, but I was wondering if there was a another pair of IEM that are cheaper yet perform better.    I'm also looking at the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi or the older ATHCK7, which are around the...

Quote: Thank you for your detailed input, I did not know that the CK7s were 5 years old...must be a pretty good pair then. I'm leaning more towards the Phiaton, due to the eye-catching design and handy case, but Audio Technica has an excellent reputation even more a newbie like me.  

Quote:   I see. I ended buying the M9 for $22 with one day shipping on Amazon. I've been using stock or cheap headphones my whole life, so I'm not going to be able to understand/appreciate what the M9 offers or does not. The build quality and price is what attracted me to it.     

Which would you buy?   The Phiaton is $144 with shipping, and the ATHCK7 is $110 with shipping.    I'm mainly looking for durability, and since the AT's are made out of titanium, they should be pretty durable. However, according to a Head-fi search, the Phiaton is pretty durable too.  ...

I would like to double confirm the reviews on the Zune premium headphones. I have two pairs of these headphones. (I still use them...I'm a newbie) and while they do have surprisingly adequate isolation, the build quality isn't really that good. On one of them, the headphone jack cover came off...

Quote: So you would advising against the older two models, even if I buy both?    I love reading the reviews in your thread, they're so helpful!   

Quote: I'm really considering these, but the only thing holding me back is the big remote. Not to mention, The Meelectronics M6/9 are very attractive that their price. :)

After looking up the Brainwavz, I found Meelectronics, and my horizons have broadened...now it's a tough choice between the M6/M9, even though they're so inexpensive I should just get both. 

Quote:   Wow, I didn't know that, thank you. It says on Amazon that the S3 are tangle resistant. Brainwavz...I will find a review for them.    Quote: That looks like a great pair, and if the cable is really that tough then it should be perfect. Do you know what the...

Quote: Thanks for the suggestions, but those are a little pricey for me.    I may end up buying the Klipsch S3, since they do have tangle-resistant cables, but I will have to forgo the remote...

Hi there Head-Fi, thanks for having me, this is my first post here.   I listen to my music on the go, and whenever I'm done I wrap my headphones around my iPhone/iPod and shove them in my pockets.   Yes, I am your typical iPod listener.    However, I pay close attention to my music...
