Advantages: excellent sound, comfort and durability Disadvantages: none at all it even blocks outside noise
Wanting a pair of in ear headphones in a bud like shape to help remove background noise when working out in the gym and jogging along main roads the Beyerdynamic DTX 50 were recommended to me by a friend who has used them without problems for some time. Having had the opportunity to experience the sound quality prior to purchase I had no problems parting with £47 for the wired headphones that have now for over 12 months kept my tunes pumped into my head and the outside world out.
The buds sit easily in the ear and the rubber coating is really soft and acts as a barrier between the ear and the plastic sections that are really well made and rock solid which means the ultimate in comfort even when pounding away on the treadmill. The rubber also acts like a form of insulation from outside noise so even when drum and bass if banging away ...
Advantages: Superb sound, comfortable fit, volume control on the cord Disadvantages: Some earbuds were missing, slighly pricy for in-ear earphones
I am coming to realise that iPod/MP3 player earphones take quite a beating indeed. I have owned a number of pairs of said earphones over the past two or three years, and inevitably, eventually they break down (normally the wires get frayed or something, and so you receive audio out of only one ear). The durability of the earphones is compromised also by my habit of wrapping the cord around the iPod itself (apparently a no-no, but I've never found a sufficient convenient alternative).
I use in the ear soft earphones. I have small ear canals, and so find rigid earpieces uncomfortable. I'd be tempted by over the ear headphones, but they are inconvenient to transport. Now, you can buy earphones for as little as a fiver, or you can spend a small fortune, necessitating a re-mortgage. I have tried the cheaper, and the mid-cheap (say £15 - £20 ...
Advantages: The come packaged when you buy an ipod. Disadvantages: Poor Sound Quality, Uncomfortable.
The apple ipod earphones come as standard with all apple ipod products but you can also purchase them from official apple dealers and outlets for around £15-£20.
I used my ipod earphones for a few weeks after I got my ipod but as soon as I found a suitable replacement, I got rid of them.
The sound quality is very poor, I had to turn my ipod up to full volume (even with the volume limiter off) before I could hear the music properly. The bass sounds I got from these earphones was also very poor, a problem which was not helped by the volume required as it distorted the sound quite a lot.
Considering the price you pay for these, they are not even comfortable, I felt them slipping out of my ear one more than one occasion and a few times, after using them for about an hour, I had a severe pain in my ear.
The connector of these earphones is ...
