Any one have input on headphones? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I just picked up an Ipod touch for christmas. I been using a pair of sony earbuds when im on campus and on plain rides i use a pair of sonys over the ear headphones. There both nothing speical they do the job, but with some extra christmas money i wanted somthing AWESOME. Now i didn't wanna spend it all on the over the ear bose nosie canceling ones cuz i would use the ear buds more(even though there very inmpressive). The reviews im seeing from the bose ear buds are really making me lean to them and for 100 bux for what im to understand are very good earbuds headphones, i may pick them up.

I wanted to know if there is any one on here that may be able to show me somthing else worth looking at, i have no problem paying more for somthing thats worth it, i value bass and great sound quaitly.

just got a set of bose earbuds for christmas. The sound is incredible for such little things. Very comfortable and don't move in my ears at all.

bose is overpriced.

97TurboDSM · 12-29-2007, 03:59 PM

bose definitely isnt overpriced. other brand headphones with the same specs go for the same price. my brother has the over ear bose headphones and they rock.

AKG 240's

Or are you only looking for ear buds?

gpzjack · 12-29-2007, 08:13 PM

I just picked up Sony bluetooth wireless units...they rock. I got the headphones for christmas but ipods aren't bluetooth so i had to buy the transmitter seperate. I love them...very comfortable but $150 is a bit steep. I may get the zune soon so it will work with it. It also works with phones. Pretty cool.

Does the touch support bluetooth? If it does i think the headphones alone are under $100

eslhockey92g · 12-29-2007, 09:04 PM

no im preety sure it doesn't do Bluetooth, but yea i think id woulds prefeer earbud/ear canal headphones, somthing that i can wear around on campus and just toss in my pocket w/o sacraficing sound quality

The captin, i was reading that it took a little to get used to the fact that they sit the "bowl" of your ear, this true?

Ive always known Shure to be an incredible headphone, but i just don't have that kind of money, though i would LOVE to hear what a few hunded dollar earbud sounds like.

The Captain · 12-30-2007, 01:15 AM

yea i guess that's true. But they come with three different sized ear pieces so once you get the once that fits the best, they are real nice. At first i used the smallest size it came with trying to fit them in my ear like the ipod ones, but i eventually realized that isn't how they work.

since were talking headphones any body have any suggestion's for in or over ear headphone for snowboarding. I have nice studio sonys and like four pairs of ipod headphones but nothing will stay in my ear really. (not doing hat/helmet with audio)

when i ride i do the ear buds, every times i try over the ears, they fall of when inmgrinding or spinning in the air, if i lose an ear bud i hardley even know it and it wont get in the way.

My room mate has skullycandy over the ear head phones i think they were around 60/70 bux and they are very impressive, i was looking at the metal jackets i think is the model from them.

bmatyeah · 12-30-2007, 02:01 PM

I have heard the skullcandys break real quick from alot of snowboarding messageboards. btw anyone ride at bearcreek?

streetAssasin96 · 12-30-2007, 02:26 PM

Mine have been holding up. havn't been to bearcreek but I was up at blue and it was sick, even though the pipe was closed

i was there last night, to0 many rails i like huge kickers better

omgjacki · 12-30-2007, 05:14 PM

Bose.

eslhockey92g · 12-31-2007, 07:58 PM

bose FTW

I went to the bose store in the KOP mall and just loved the depth of the music, and they felt at home in my ears.

Side note i think there is a new sytem that holds the earpices on, is like a hook system witch seems like it will be tough to loose any ear pieces.

Red94Celica · 01-02-2008, 01:10 AM

I like the skullcandy for at work, and when I ride (streetbike). Comfortable, loud, and blockout background noise to an extent. Cant beat them, especially for only $10
