Ear Buds

[CrazyMobius]

Hey does anyone know any ear buds they can recommend? I had this German brand previously for about $100. But I dunno if it's just a con.

Are you talking about sennheisers? I would recommend them, but do yourself a favour and get headphones instead.

Don't buy skullcandy.

Ear buds are terrible. Worst possible portable headphone.

IEMs (canalphones) are the rage these days if you aren't keen on supra/circum aurals. Many of them are better sound isolators than the active noise cancelling headphones also.

head-fi.org is the place to go if you actually like to read opinions, they have many excellent rundowns of the top 'phones by price range.

Oh yeah. I think ear buds is the wrong term. I have those ones that fit right into your ears and act as earplugs.

Thanks for the link.

Yeah Moose they recommended those at JB Hi Fi and thats what I bought last time. They were good but I just wondered if other brands were just as good at a cheaper price.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm using some $50 Panasonic noise isolating headphones. They fit nice, sound good and cut out a lot of the retards around wintec.
