Ipod Earphones

[admin_exported]

Hi

Does anyone know of a good set of replacement earphones for my iPod Nano. I would like the same style as the originals that come with the ipod as I find the ear canal type uncomfortable (plus they block out too much ambient noise, like cars about to run me over). Budget £20ish.

Cheers in advance

Sony Fontopia MDR-ED21LP about £17 sounds great with ipod they dont go deep and jam into the ear and make a seal which blocks out the outside noise. they do sit in the ear in a good way so there are less prone to fall out, and less sound is wasted. I spent 70 quid on shures which jam into the ear and hated them ended up going back to the Sony Fontopia MDR-ED21LP which I prefered the sound with the ipod

This has been said ad nauseum but if you're not obsessed with matching looks try the Sennheiser CX-300 II.

The sound will compensate far more than the looks.

Sorry manicm, but the OP has stated he does NOT want in ear canal phones, therefore the Sennheisers would be unsuitable. I had some Sony phones for years, very comfortable, good sound, and helped to prevent potential road traffic accidents involving myself.

Just gone looking for them, can't find them, but I think you can still get them at Argos. This looks like them http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5340466/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CHome+entertainment+and+sat+nav%7C14419512/c_2/3%7C15701197%7CHeadphones+and+earphones%7C14419643/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419643%7CIn-ear+headphones%7C14419650.htm

Don't like Sennheiser at all. Get some Panasonic RP-HJE300 for $20. Had them for 2 years and beats the cx-300 II's which I bought yesterday. Much better vocals and smoother sounding compared to cx-300 IIs. Bass may be overwhelming at first but gets tighter as they progress. cx-300 II just sounded harsh and had terrible mid-range.
