Mattygroves and Her Unexpectedly Good Earphones

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...

Review of Sennheiser CX 500 Headphones

ipod earphones

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...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

5/5 Earphones

Advantages: Stylish design; 10/10 Sound Quality; Stylish earphones pouch;
Disadvantages: Discomfort initially; Expensive; Covers come off too easily

...Got these earphones for my birthday, so it's been about 6 months, and I have nothing but praise for them. Most importantly, the sound quality is perfect 10/10. My girlfriend who borrowed it once was left awestruck by the quality, likening it to being in a top-notch cinema with high-quality surround sound system. The sound quality makes average songs sound like hits. Next, the design. While it may be a little awkward to put it on and some may have difficulty fitting the earphones to the shape of their ears, I'm personally a very big fan of the design. I like the look of it and love the feel of it. You will most probably experience some discomfort when you first put it on, but it'll soon pass, well at least that's always been the case for me. Along with the earphones, there's a stylish black pouch that can be used for storage...

Review of Look Out, He's Behind You! - Tony Bradman

Advantages: Quirky comedy romance that is also thought-provoking.
Disadvantages: None

...him to leave, which Neil does, but he's still into Beth, and she's still into him, but marriage isn't on the horizon so they'll remain into each other separately! As for Alex, he makes a point of never being into anyone because he just can't handle it, and Mary... well... Mary would love to be into someone who doesn't think that voicemail and texting are equivalent to actual talking. Confused? Don't be... Gigi, Beth and Janine are close friends who work for the same company. Gigi, who is extremely sweet and naïve, would love to find Mr. Right, but she might settle for Mr. So-So if he actually returns her calls. Beth, on the other hand, has already found Mr. Right, however, her long-time beau, Neil, doesn't believe in marriage. As for Janine, she managed to hogtie her college sweetheart by giving him an ultimatum; marriage or bust...

Apple iPod Earphones

Advantages: Free with an iPod
Disadvantages: Cost £20 for a new pair, poor sound quality.

...When I got these earphones with my iPod I didn't think the sound quality was awful but it certainly wasn't great either. The bass is pretty shoddy in my opinion. Just how shoddy wasn't something I realised until I bought some Sennheiser and subsequently ended up using some Altec Lansings. The reason I bought other earphones was because my iPod earphones broke. The plug in jack came off from the iPod, stuck in my laptop. Managed to remove it without any damage to my laptop luckily. Considering these earphones cost around £10-20 I fail to see why anyone would buy these. Even if you're a poser and you want to advertise the fact that you have an iPod to everyone else, buy white Sennheiser CX 300 for around £17. The sound quality of the CX 300 is far superior (the bass is much better though that's not the only improvement) and no one...

Review of Apple iPod Earphones

iPod Headphones - Value for money

Advantages: Sleek design
Disadvantages: Average sound quality

...These Apple headphones make the perfect pair with your Apple iPod and they come free with the purchase of any Apple iPod or iTouch. They are very sleek and match the design of the iPod perfectly. These headphones are by no means the best quality out there and if you want the perfect sound from your portable device then a bit more money will have to be spent. However, for those just listening to their iPod on the move, on the way home from work etc. they are the perfect companion. The headphones provide a decent volume although they do not completely block out other sounds which can become frustrating when in a loud environment. At high volumes the sound is also clearly audible for those outside of your head and this can obviously be annoying for those around you on a bus or train. Another problem with these is that the design has...

Review of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe - Vol. 1 (Animated) (DVD)

He's Just Not That Into You

Advantages: Chilled Out Chick Flick Good For A Girls Night In For A One Off
Disadvantages: Not A Riveting Storyline - Can Get A Bit Tedious!... Rent DVD not buy!

...'He's Just Not That Into You' makes single ladies everywhere ask themselves - "Are you the exception... or are you the rule?" The movie follows the love-lives of several ladies and gents in the Baltimore area, who are all somehow connected. Each of them journey through trials and tribulations regarding the opposite sex. Secret Affairs. Ruined Marriages. Dates. Rejection. Mixed Signals. No More Sex. And that question we all want answering.. Why Hasn't He Called? The main feature of the film tends to focuss on typical player Alex, who believes there is a no-fail system in the way men think and act, whilst filling in Gigi on the rules, an unexpected romance blossoms. Here we have a typical all round Chick flick. According to my man sources, it's not one for the guys. It is a very laid back and light hearted...

Review of He's Just Not That Into You

Awesome headphones!

Advantages: Bass driven, clear sound and noise-cancelling.
Disadvantages: Expensive for headphones, but worth it.

...When I first started listening to music through headphones and an mp3 player, I wasn't really bothered about the sound, just pleased that I could have portable music at my fingertips. Then I received my 2GB iPod a few years ago and was thoroughly impressed with the headphones supplied by Apple. I remained satisfied for 2 more years, though in those 2 years I did have to acquire 3 or 4 pairs due to breakage. However, when I first received my 2GB iPod Nano I was recommended these headphones, but I didn't really see the point in spending nearly £50 on a pair of headphones, surely there wouldn't be that much difference? Well in January of this year, I purchased the 160GB iPod Classic, which I recently reviewed and I decided to purchase the Sennheiser CX300 headphones as they were only £17.99 on Play.com and I had a voucher to use. So...
