If you are serious about earphones, headphones and in-ear monitors, then please proceed to put the the earpods in the drawer. Look to Ultimate Ears, Shure, Sennheiser, Grado, Audio Technica, etc.

I personally use an Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 pro and Shure e500 for portable. Don't expect $30 earbuds to sound like $300 ones.

I second these suggestions. And most of all, don't go around saying Beats by Dre headphones are the best on the market because that only highlights one's ignorance.

I need to try a pair of UE Triple.fi's. My current collection includes Shure E4, E500PTH, SE535, Westone 3, Westone 4, Sennheiser PX200.

You spend too much money on headphones. :p

Right on. Also, Bose stands for Buy Other Stereo Equipment.

I'm ashamed and I'm here to admit that I picked up a Bose SoundDock out of curiousity at Fry's this past weekend. :eek: I know it was a mistake and I promise it will never happen again. :D
 
I'm content with them. I have a pair of JVC marshmallows and Shures but even those don't sound drastically different. For how little I use them everything seems fine.

Now sell them at a profit on some unexpecting buyer on craigslist or ebay. :p

When I say I picked them up, it means I picked them up and put them right back down. I didn't buy it! :eek:

It blows my mind that some people don't hear the difference in good headphones. However, the truth we seem to forget on this forum, some people just don't have the same hearing acuity. The proof was when my good friend butchered Hotel California last night at NRB. :eek:
 
I think they are fine for what they are. FREE !!!!!

Why are people trying to compare earphones earbuds that cost money compared to something you got FREE?
 
I like the way they sound, but I can't get them to stay in my ears for the life of me. All I have to do is move around a bit and they start sliding out. And if I'm sweaty due to working out or the heat outside, it only happens faster.

There's got to be a way to put these in so they stay in my ears! Has anyone had any luck?
 
Stay in my ears fine. You must have those "round" shaped ears instead of "ear shaped" ears. :p



Freaky moment, I wanted to playback the commercial to check the wording while making this post. So I found the commercial and hit play. It begins playing on my TV. No airplay. Just coincidentally started playing at the exact same time. I think Steve Jobs is secretly controlling my TV from the grave!!! :eek:
 
No but seriously I like my headphones they rock. They are also noise canceling so I can't hear anything. Which is great for work!:D

Nothing wrong with that. If you like they way they fit and sound, then that's all that matters. Just don't be fooled into thinking that there isn't anything better out there.
 
I really like the klipsch s4i. I also own the Bose in ear buds as well but always prefer the klipsch. The new earpods are ok but I have to keep repositioning thm to get the full sound out of them.
 
There is always a bigger fish.

I do want to try out apple's headphones and see how they are.
