Bose are fantastic. Agreed.
I tried the Shure headphones previously and hated them for running as they created a seal in the ear that would result in pressure every time your foot hit the pavement.
i would like to spend less than $300 ideally. however, i would pay more if i found an exceptional product.got a link to these?
how are these with regarding to running or working out? ever fall out your ear?
Odd. I've run hundreds of miles with mine using them nearly daily for 3 plus years and haven't had a single problem. The thing I really like about the Bose are the plastic ear inserts that hold it in place. Incredibly stable and far better than the things that loop over your ear. Hate those. Never had an ear bud fall out and I don't have to jam the bud into my ear canal to hold it in place.P.S. Just remembered that a few months ago, my wife had put my shorts in the wash with the Bose headphones still in the pocket. After a full wash and dry cycle, they still worked perfectly.
On my phone, so no link. Do an Amazon search for Bose in ear headphones.
I like these for serving tennis balls or hitting against a practice wall and they never fall out...http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IL4ROE... they are pretty sweat proof and if you run in a wet climate it would seem to me they would hold up better than most.They also have this model that has a built in mic....http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VTZPO8/... and at those prices you can easily afford both, one pair for running and one for the rest of the day. I've never used the model with a mic so I'm not sure how good that function is but I've been impressed with the sound quality of other models in the line.Serious question, when you're running do you really think you can tell the difference between a $50 pair of earbuds and a $250 pair of earbuds? I would think the noise around you(and your heart rate/breathing etc) would make the difference negligible.
These never fall out of your ear. I never wear them while running though. I am not sure about sweating heavily while wearing them.
Nice find - thanks for posting it. I just ordered a pair of the blue ones. I've always favored the inexpensive Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds, so we'll see how much of a difference sound-wise the more expensive earbuds make.
Guess I have to subscribe first but good info, thanks.What should I look for, exactly? These guys make some sense about not spending a ton on in-ear buds but where is the line here? What's the best in-ear, value? Good brands, bad brands, talk to me... Not worth the effort of trying to save a few on something less than 50 bucks or so.
Do you have big stupid dumbo ears like me?
Have you tried a pair with the ear inserts discussed above?
yep
Have you tried getting reconstructive ear surgery?
Disagree. If the source (media and player) is deep enough then a better headphone will certainly produce better sound. As far as cost benefit that is up to each to decide for themselves. But dynamic range, soundstage etc can definitely be noticed on a better headphone.'Apple Jack said:Really'Kenny Powers said:'Wrigley said:
Had the cheaper pair and they work well...but the cords suck.Day after thanksgiving, BB had the cloth cabled ones for half off and I ordered them.Perfect for running...you won't get the best sound, but if you are wearing these things for working out or doing other things, you are not going to notice the sound quality difference anyway (especially off of most MP3 players).They work perfectly, stay in my ears, and I don't worry about them in crappy weather or getting sweat all over them.
Yep, I love them too. No discomfort at all, they stay in my ear, very durable, great sound, and ... They don't tangle! They are better than the Bose MEI2 pair I had, and I really liked those.
Whoa, a Green94 sighting.
Couldn't disagree more. Perhaps YMMV, but taking the Signal from the source and actually creating audible sound waves is a hell of a task and a better speaker will give off better sound.
I would agree for speakers or over ear headphones, but I haven't ever been able to notice much difference with earbuds. I have had a mid-range monster pair, and tried out my cousins bose. To me the sub $10 sony / panny are just as good.
Earphones are simply speakers that go in your ear. Now, sound preference is very much personal taste, but for me at least, I can definitely hear the difference. Of course, the quality of the source (media and player) certainly factor in here as well. A #### source won't sound better on a great speaker, heck it could sound worse. But with detailed enough media and a good player speakers / earphones are often one of if not the most important component regrade sing end sound quality.
