for my new iPod. I feel like a fool with them with earplugs and the sound coming from them is shite.

Sennheiser

Once you hear through them you'll never go back.

Thanks for the tip. I just need ones like I pictured, that drown out that irritating world around me and accentuate my perfect playlist.

Oh right I see! They're very big!

Well either way, I think theyre the best...my friend is a DJ and has a model worth about £100, they drown everything else out, amazing!

Don't look quite as strange as the ones you've chosen, though, but, whatever floats your boat!

Hehehe, these were the first ones I googled that have earcovering earpads.

Another thing is that I am 1/4 deaf, hehehe.Which SUCKS for a music lover, I can tell ya. So I got to be real careful about what kind of earphones I buy. It is not about volume, it is about quality.

I have some really good ones from JVC

what about Bose?

At the mo. one of the earphones on my iPod is begining to sound foo'ked, leaking bass. It sounds horrid. I hate it when this happens. Only one is at fault but you have to replace the whole thing

Bose

right here my friend, right here.....

Sony Qualia 010's







Buyers of the 010 headphones are asked to select the color of the drivers and type of headband and are then measured for their own pair of the headphones. The measurements of the buyer's head size and ear position are then sent to the factory in Japan where a custom made set of headphones are created and shipped within 3 to 4 weeks after purchase, making the set of 010 headphones truly personal.


If you can't afford them, go with the Sony MDR-SA models.


No matter WHAT cans you buy, make sure to burn them in for about 60 hours.

Akg's or Sony's v700 or v900. Best bang 4 buck. Sennheiser's makes some good ones as well but they are a bit more expensive.

I learn something new about you all the time, Herman.

this is what they look like on....these go for $179




I have these...I've used them on several flights, including 4 transoceanic flights since I got them 3 years ago....I swear by them....best sound under $200 (they go for $139)



You really can't go wrong with either of these.....will make any mp3 player sound really good....
