I have a set of Shure earphones that do the job very well. I'm listening to my mp3 player at about 2/3rds the volume of my previous set.

Lemonade Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ah, you've overtaken me on rep points you absolute shit! Teabags is sniffing about at my rear as well. I must get my funny on. First to the brown star wins. Or is it a rusty sherrifs badge? Bigsby, shed any light?I win the brown star. I had hoped it would fill this empty feeling inside. It didn't.

People like that are knobs. However, your addiction affects people other than yourself more than alcoholism or obesity. Fair enough, we might not like the smell of a pissed up/on tramp or looking at a super fatty fat fat but i don't like breathing in smoke at all and it's more detrimental to my health than the other two.Folks can smoke all they like, just not in my personal space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that the generation of iPod I have has a volume cap set by EU standards, or something equally poncey. Even with good 'phones, it still sounds tinny and nowhere near as good as my old Creative Zen. I guess Creative actually specialise in sound though, where as apple just make shiney white goods for students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Pod headphones are mighty pish. I used to be able to hear nothing on the train in to work and walking up Union Street but it's fine now without deleting that file. Stupid question i'm sure but have you actually looked at the volume maximum lock setting on the I Pod? If you have and it's still nae loud enough you must be one deaf bugger!

Soda Jerk Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Mine is on full, and I can hear it enough, but it just sounds so thin and trebley. All the bottom end is completely inaudible when I am around loud traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've owned most variations of portable music players over the years and I've never had one that has a completely satisfactory sound in comparison to a proper home stereo, I just accept that the sound quality will be reduced but at least I can listen on the move. The in-ear headphones certainly helped in terms of external noise reduction. I haven't tried any other MP3 players though, the I Pod suits my needs in terms of capacity, maybe I just accept things too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's the only reason I got an iPod was the capacity. I really wanted something 30/40+ GB, and Creative just don't seem to be involved with mass storage players now.What kind of ear/headphones should I be looking at? I've got some Seinheiser ones. I don't know which ones. They were 25 in 1up. I would have thought over-the-ear headphones would be more logical, as they surround the whole ear and possibly block out sound? No?

No?You get in-ears that are designed specifically to block out outside sound. I used to use Sony MDR EX-71, which were fucking amazing. Unfortunately you can't get them any more (though some Amazon shops still have them) but I'm told the replacement model is just as good. The MDR EX-71s are going cheap as chips now since they are effectively obsolete now, you can pick them up for a tenner and they are immense.

No?I've got Sennheiser bud style ones that cost about 30 quid, got mine in HMV. They come with 3 sizes of rubber bud so you can pick the one that fits snugly. I have to use normal ones in the office as if I have them in I don't hear people talking to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ah yes. Mine are just the regular in-ear ones. I'll give those bud ones a go some time, as they will probably solve my problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the ones I have - Sennheiser Eco Ear Canal Headphones Black: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & PhotoI didn't buy them on Amazon though as I heard word folk were selling fakes that were shite build quality...
