Hi,

I'm looking for some decent headphones for my Iphone. I really don't mind the stock headphones, but I've gone through 3 sets now and they all just seem to get static in them after a while so there's no way I'm going to buy another set.

The problem though is that I can't find any decent Iphone compatible headphones that aren't noise isolating. I really don't like my ear drum completely sealed off, just because of feel and the fact that I don't like not being able to hear the environment at all.

Any recommendations? Hopefully not going over $100.

Thanks!

Thanks for the links. It looks like all the headphones listed seal your ear drum off....something I don't want.

Looks like it's use an adapter with a clicker for headphones....or nothing :(

Thanks I'll have to look into those. They look like they would work pretty well. Do they fast forward tracks on the ipod too by double clicking?

yup they do the ff, rew, pause and have a mic for answering phone calls.
and sound 100% better than the orig apple head phones which
sound like crap!

I bought a real cheap pair for 11 off ebay and they sucked
so bad sound was poor and they broke within a month, but the blackberry ones
are still going strong and actually cheaper than the other ones. I fully recommend
the blackberry headset.
