I Need New Ear Phones (electronic, bass, house, metal)

meamrussian · 02-07-2008, 06:50 PM

Hey,

I recently decided that my ear phones suck. I need nice new ones with great sound and bass. I also don't want to have to press the earphones against my ears to make the sound great; I want some nice sound cancellation (without the need of batteries of course).

I also want them to be in-ear phones. Which ones should I get and where? I hear a lot of good things about Skullcandy, also. Which ones should I get without paying too much, and where? Amazon? Target?

Thanks.

You should check out the bose in ear headphones, i have them and they are reallly nice, but they cost a bit about $100 i think. It is a bit to pay, but they are worth it.

Sennheiser all the way. Bose are better for speaker systems.

Let me recommend the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros. These are in ear buds and they seal the ear canal so you don't need canceling phones. They're a bit spendy but I love mine.

They look really nice man, i might just have to retire the bose and get me a pair of these.

I just got back from the store. The couple of suggestions I saw were all a tad too expensive for me hehe. They all look good but there's no way I can spend so much. I ended up getting Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket in-ear phones. They're definitely an improvement from what I had before. The bass is pretty decent, they look cool, and the sound cancellation is great; all I hear is my good music without all the background noises.

These may not be as great as the others, but they will suffice. I'm sick of listening to standard earphones such as the ipod earphones.

Thanks guys.

I've had mine a little over a year and love them. I was skeptical about the price until I put them on and queued up "The Crane Wife" and heard the first whisper of reverb on the vox that I'd never heard before.

They are a nice pair of ear phones, i have them somewhere around the house. They are a great product for the price, good buy.

I have the Skullcandy low-riders, and I too love em. The bass isn't anything to oo and ahh over, but the quality of sound is really good for the price.
