TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this... But anyway, the headphones for my mp3 player are about to die, so does anyone have any suggestions for good quality "in ear" headphones that I could purchase as a replacement?

Guest Savant Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Get the Sony ones with the little rubber boot thing - they're amazing! They have bass like no other in-ear headfones I've used. I've had the same pair for about 3 years now and they still work perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Boss Triports are ace. Quite expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Look no further than the Sony MDR-EX71. I got them for about 30 from Makro (but you can get them cheaper online) and they have the best sound of any headphones I have ever owned, ever. The bass is simply unbelievable, honestly I cannot express how amazing the clarity and the bass sound, plus they are the in-ear 'earplug' type and they completely drown out any outside noise so you get nothing but music. It's like musical nirvana. They fit snugly in the ear and never fall out.See Tuning Out On the Cheap - Sony MDR-EX71 - Review by PC MagazinePlaylist: Sony MDR-EX71 Fontopia - iPod Headphones ReviewSony MDREX71 : Read reviews and compare prices at Ciao.co.ukReally I can't praise these enough.

Alkaline Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Boss Triports are ace. Quite expensive though.Bose Triports IE (normal Triports aren't inner ear and are more expensive)= 69 .I agree, they are good. The Sony MDREX71 (35) are good too as are, if you're on a budget, Koss Plugs (16) and Sennheiser MX550 (22).I prefer discreet over ear ones like the the Sennheiser PX100/PX200s and the Bose Triport OE.

The Bose ones look pretty damn amazing, but 69 bags of sand is a bit out of my price range...Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice, comfortable sound.JVC MARSHMALLOW HEADPHONES – COLORFUL, COMFORTABLE, AFFORDABLE20.00 from CurrysThey look rather strange. I assume wearing them must be like wearing ear plugs?Rather tempted by the Sony ones. Online I have found them for 25.99, but p + p is a bit steep for them. I may have to investigate shops in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think I was around 28 for them in Makro a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think I was around 28 for them in Makro a few months ago.That's a good deal if you have (or have a mate) with a Makro card.We (Bruce Millers) sell them for 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think these are the same ones, 23 on Amazon, or 15 on Amazon marketplace. (Sony MDR-EX71SLB?). I've chucked away the packet now, I don't know what the SLB stands for. They look the same but mine have gold connectors.Amazon.co.uk: Sony MDR-EX71Amazon always sell Sony stuff cheap, I got a Sony digicam off there, 170, it was 260 in the shops.

B stands for black obviously I'd buy them from there. You can't try out inner ear headphones so buying online and getting a better price is no biggie in the sales world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I don't seem to get on with in-ear headphones so got the Sennheiser PX200, which is fairly cheap from Amazon. They're very good, particularly on public transport where they keep outside noise out and music in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Aye, I had a quick swatch on Amazon, so I think I'm going for the Sony ones. The Sennheiser ones aren't in ear ones, boo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if customers can order them direct or if you have to order through a dealer. I'll try and get you a price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can usually tell the difference. Maybe my hearing's going though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them free of charge by calling:08707 414500I believe they're bringing out a new ear-plug in the future so you should ask for details about those and if they incur a charge at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
