I am a "soon-to-be" owner of a 8gb Iphone 3G in black. it is currently wrapped and under the Christmas tree and i can't touch it until the 25th. It is driving me completely insane.
I have been reading on this forum for about a week now and just decided to join up. i recently purchased the switcheasy rebel case for when i actually get my iphone. the next item i am looking to purchase is a good set of headphones. I would like to spend $50-$75 and do not really care if a mic or controls are added, i just want good sound quality.
But anyways, it has been great reading posts, this forum is full of information, and has helped me a lot, and i don't even have my Iphone yet!
 
Hi jondaviseffect

Welcome to this forum.
If you do a search in the forum, you will find many posts regarding headphones for your new iPhone.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum!

Lucky devil! Next month for me. Then again, it would probably be worse if I got it at Christmas when all the family is here and I couldn't hide away and play with the new phone!

Wow that's a tough patience call on your side. If that was me, I would have totally snatched the box, get the iPhone and place the box back under the Christmas tree :p

Congrats then! Feel free to browse the iPhone accessories forum, there's tons of headphones being discussed there. Good choice on the case, Switcheasy is a well known best customer service company.
 
Hello and welcome, jondaviseffect. :)
No doubt, you've watched and will watch again and again, many an iPhone unboxing video on YouTube between now and the 25th. :D

The unique thing about iPhone is, that the honeymoon period won't fade away. ;)
 
Is jailbreaking really worth it?? i've always been afraid of messing up the phone somehow. i mean, its not really risk-free is it?
 
Welcome to the family!

Recommend you WAIT to buy new earphones until you try out the ones that come with it. I've been very happy with mine, and I'm pretty picky about sound quality.
 
Right now, I have a home theater receiver that I cannot open until the 25th, so I feel your pain.

In regards to your headphones, it depends on what type of music you listen to. For example, do you like music with bass?

Welcome. Must be torture knowing that your iPhone is just sitting there waiting for you....

I've been using the V-Moda Vibe Duos since February. They're served me well, have good sound, and only cost $99.

That really depends on whether the default iPhone is lacking a certain feature/s that you really want and can get by jailbreaking.
It's relatively risk-free and you can easily go back, if you desire.
For me, all I wanted is to have wallpaper on the homescreens, but I don't really need it, so I've gone back to default.
 
Welsome!

1) Jailbreaking is your choice, but remember that despite what anyone says there are NO cons to it - everything is 100% reversable.

2) A good pair of headphones is a must-have, but that's kinda an akward price range. I suggest you push slightly higher and go with either then Sennheiser MM50 iP or better yet the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 4vi - consensus is that the V-Modas sounds will almost certainly fall apart within a year of purchase.

wow you must absolutely have no ear for quality then.
 
For some AWESOME headphones, that have unbelievable sound quality, but anything Skullcandy. You will not regret it, and neither have I! :D

Welcome to the forms too! :)

Edit: Jailbreak really is worth it, by the way. Some awesome apps.
 
In terms of headphones, I got in on that $80 deal at Guitar Center for the Shure SCL4 monitors. Technically they are monitors but a HELL of a deal and they sound great. If you have a Guitar Center that still has any left (this was a few days ago) I would jump. They are white, and that color is being discontinued, the black pair still goes for the normal $249.
