Best headphones for iPhone

[McGiord]

Hi,

I am looking for a very nice sound quality in-ear or earbud headphones to be used with my iPhone, with mic and ipod control.

Any suggestions?

V-moda makes some nice, stylish ones that sound good. With a little mic too. See what you think.

Thanks for the suggestion. They look very nice and seem like a perfect fit for the iPhone, their advertising is very good.
But I checked on Amazon for reviews and some people are experiencing quality issues:

Are you aware of this?

I am also considering these others to use them with the Shure adapter for the mic/controls (but the extra cable seems to be annoying):
- Bose in ear
- Sennheiser in ear
Any comments on these ones?

I keep recommending these because I

could NOT get the buds to stay in my ear AT All!!! & I bought these and they work perfectly I love them.

Www.ultimatebuds.com check out the er-6i set. If you are handy with small scale soldering you can make them yourself even cheaper.

i have the bose in-ear and am returning them. the sound is good for the price, a little too bass heavy for my liking though. i'm returning them because it's just waaaaay too much cable when you use the shure adapter with them. if you're a fan of sennheiser, check these out. i just ordered some, didn't get here yet:

Any of the Shure or Ultimate Ears earphones are some of the best you can buy in their price ranges. Bose is average at everything to do with consumer audio.

Obviously you can find them for much less than the msrp.

Once and for all!

I bought an iPhone 3G last July and everybody knows that their headphones are very bad! I often use my old Sony MDR-E818 that I bought for 29$ 6-7 years ago.

The only thing is that with the Sony headphones, I don't have the controls that the iPhone headphones are offering and this is why I want a new pair!

I play music for 25 years now and I still don't know what spec to check when buying headphones. I mostly listen to Metal/Emo/Punkrock which is the kind of music that sounds really nice in my Sony cheap headphones.

I own a pair of Grado SR80 at home, but I don't want to go in the metro or simply outside during the winter with these!

If anyone can help me with the spec I need to check for loud music to sound better in my ears, it would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Incipherbass

Got my pair of Beats by Dre headphones being delivered to me today. Two of my buddies said they love them, so i had my neighbor at best buy get me a pair for cheaper. It was hard for me to dish out that cash though.

I like the Skullcandy FMJ for iPhone:

They appear to be out of stock atm but maybe you can find them at another online retailer. They're compatible with the iPhone, sound great, and look pretty sleek and stylish.

finally found some affordable headphones - Aerial7

I discovered Aerial7 at a fashion trade show of all places and I'm convinced that they are the best $50 cans on the market. I bought the Matador model that comes in black. They put the Sennheiser PX's to shame. Bose TriPort would be a better point of comparison; these are at least as good. In fact, I prefer the Aerial7's to the TriPorts because they don't have the fake, overemphasized bass that Bose passes off as "good" sound.

Also killer: they are iPhone compatible (meaning that they have a mic and mute button) and come with an adapter so you can plug them into any other mobile phone.

These guys seem to be going after the same market as SkullCandy - DJ's and people who want a little fashion on their head. Let me just say that SkullCandy can bite me. These are the real deal. I've been looking for comfortable, nice-sounding, portable headphones that I can afford to lose or have stolen and I am stoked to have found these things. These are comfortable for hours and fold up nicely for use on the bus, train or plane.

They aren't that widely available yet but you can buy direct:

The Iphone headphones may suck, but I love the volume control and mic feature so I can talk.

 

[Mintin8]

I'm sure the OP must of chosen his headphones by now

 

[thegoldenmackid]

Just for those that searches purpose:

I love my Shure SE530s and Shure MPA. The MPA will do everything you want to in terms of features.

found a comprehensive list

http://artoftheiphone.com/2010/02/10/top-20-iphone-headphones-best-of-iphone/

i'm looking at the klipsch image s4i for my next purchase. i keep leaving the iphone apple ear buds in my pocket, and they find themselves taking a spin with my laundry. These default apple ear buds hurt after wearing them awhile; also the sound quality is noticeably tinny.

enjoy

This thread is 4 years old. I'm sure the OP has found earbuds by now

The purpose of this thread was to help ONE person? I'm here with the same question, should I start a brand new thread asking the same question?

Only if you want the answer to include the option of headphones made available within the past 4 years.

I'd go with Shure too, best buy IMHO. I had Shure 2c for 10 years until the plastic coating came off, now I have the SE215, they are awesome, and I can replace the cords (after 10 years).
You get really good quality in-earphones for a reasonable price. I would guess that better quality phones will not improve sound quality when listening to MP3s.
