behind-the neck earbuds

[CrzyAzn]

Hey all,

I'm lookin for some cost-effective earbuds that have the behind-the neck style of wiring.

So far I've only found the Sennheiser MX400 to interest me, but it doesnt have the behind the neck wiring.

Anyone have recommendations for some good-quality earbuds with the requested type of wiring?

I don't know what price you had in mind, but the Sony MDR-E888LP has the behind-the-neck cord you're looking for. They can be had for around $60.

nah, the 888's are too expensive,


bump!

Why is that type of wire so important to you?

Let me say this, but apart from the soon-to-be-discontinued Aiwa earbuds, the Sony MDR-E848LP is the only halfway decent currently-available earbud with the neckchain-style cord on the market that doesn't cost more than $30 that I know of. (I'm sure that Panasonic and a few other brands also offer earbuds with a similar cord design, but I don't know their lines at all since I couldn't find them in stores.)

when i'm not listening, i like to hang them of the neck.

but after reading eagledriver's post, i think i'll settle for the MX400s

most sony earbuds in their middle range have neckchain style cords. I have about 3 pairs hanging about the house - the only ones i use are my MDR-EX70s.
