Headphone Help!!

Would you like wireless/bluetooth?

 

I have the Bose MIE2 and they are amazing. The best part is that they actually stay in your ear and don't move.
There are 3 kinds
IE2- just headphones ~100
MIE2- headphones with a mic ~130
MIE2i- made for iphones- headphones, mic with volume controls~130

Good thing with the MIE2/MIE2i is that it can answer calls, and pause music on MP3 players and your computer.

I tried the Klpisch S4i but I couldn't find the right fit, granted my ears aren't your ears.

 

For on-the-ears, check out:
Bowers and Wilkins P5.

IMO, they blow away the Bose + Beats stuff. Look a lot classier (all leather, aluminum, and steel -- no plastic), and a much more natural sound. None of the jacked-up highs+lows of the Bose, and none of the mid-range boost of the Bose.

I'm not a fan of in-ears for portable listening -- when I use in-ears, I get a loud "thump" in my head with every step I take. It doesn't happen to everyone, so you might want to try them out before buying. One other thing -- if you need to communicate frequently with other people (i.e., wearing them at work, etc.), in-ears are a bit of a pain. On the positive side, I use a set of Shure E5 as in-ear monitors with my band, and the sound quality is absolutely phenomenal.

 

In Holland we have a saying when something is designed to look better than its performance which roughly translates as it's an 'idiot's eyefull'. That's how I would describe any product by Bose. For over-ear headphones stick with Sennheiser, especially the XP100 model, voiced to partner the iPod and excellent value for money.
