In Ear Headphones?

Post by david & bloom » Tue Dec 23, 2008 10:43 am

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I need some new in ear headphones. Looking to spend around £20.... Was looking at getting a pair of Sennheiser cx-300s as i've heard good tings!

I'm getting some Sennheiser in ears for Xmas. I'm hoping that I can finally hear music properly on the tube with them. Anyone care to shed any light. :P

I have the Sennheiser CX400 and I love them. They're perfect for what I need! If you need some more expensive ones, try out Shure, they know what they're doing!

The Sennheiser CX300 is popular, as is the Creative EP-630 in that price range. You could also look at the Sennheiser CX400 or Creative EP-830, they are more expensive however.

I expect my Shure SE310 In-Ear Headphones to arrive today. But, I paid €199,- for them, assuming they sound much better than the crappy stock earphones I got with my Cowon iAudio D2 (mp3 player).

I bought CX300's the other day and they are nice, but i could have sworn my pair before were better on low end frequencies??

So im thinking that i had the CX400's before??

If thats the case, go with the 400's, the bass is much more responsive!!!

Ive heard good things about the V-moda bass frequency headphones... supposed to be really good at producing low end frequencies. Has anyone owned a pair? Got rave reviews on amazon

yeh i've got 2 pairs of these (cable got loose on first pair so bought more, they've sorted that issue with the new models tho). LOVE the sound, bass it well strong, feels like a sub woofer in your ear! would definitely recommend them to anyone. my bro got the Shure (i think) in ear phones (the ones that have bare good reviews) at the same time and they were so tinny & poor in comparison he returned them n got the v-moda's. i swear by them.

Might have to get myself a pair.

Btw, I've heard that loads of the sennheisers on ebay are fakes... apparently they're fairly easy to replicate. Watch out people!

i have a pair of the Sure's. Nice even sound and the bass is clear. Only got them recently though but they sound nice. It is a different feeling than normal headphones though.

I use Future Sonics Atrio M8. Seriously the best in-ear's for dubstep! Can't remember how much I paid for 'em but they were worth every penny.
