Members Slim Jim Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 Good afternoon all.I travel daily to work, which takes up to an hour and a half.I use public trans, so entertaining myself is a must.I've been using my iPod as a means of doing so, the problem isis that I can't find comfortable headphones.I'm typically an over the ear guy as opposed to inner ear.I'm told that the inner ear headphones cause more hearing damage.But either way, I need some good quality headphones. I currently have some Sonys that are "studio quality" or some {censored},but they definitely aren't built for comfort. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blargh Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm told that the inner ear headphones cause more hearing damage. That's crap. in-ear headphones attenuate outside sounds to a greater degree so you don't have to blast them as loud to hear whatever it is you're listening to.

Members this is paul Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I use fairly cheap ($30) Sony in ears and they rule. They are the kind though that seal your ear canal and pretty much kill all outside noise. Best buy carries quite a few pairs of this style, for the price I would recommend trying them.

Members schecter player Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I don't understand why people and companies include "for iPods" when talking about headphones, as if only certain headphones work with ipods or certain headphones sound better when used with an ipod. I dont know why, but it really bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why, but it really bugs me. Because different headphones are used for different uses, moron. He probably doesn't want to wear big over-ear studio headphones on his daily commute, and I'm sure a lot of people would recommend them if he just asked "What are good headphones?". Otherwise people's first question would be "What will they be used for?", and he will answer "for Ipod's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the second ones have ipod controls on the in-line volume control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why, but it really bugs me. Some headphones have controls in the cable that only work on iPods or iPhones. For example my NuForce NE-7M earphones have a button that can be used to change tracks or answer calls and also has a built-in mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mattoverb Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sennheiser hd-555 are very comfortable. I can wear them for hours no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 sennheiser hd201's are comfortable and cheap. they're not thunderbass or superfizz... but they've got a good clear midrange, and they're definitely comfortable.. and if you break 'em for commuting you won't cry for $29. i love 'em and use 'em at work where i wouldn't bring my grados or a pair of beyerdynamics to hitch up to the computer when it gets really loud.

Members Unstrung Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 That's crap. in-ear headphones attenuate outside sounds to a greater degree so you don't have to blast them as loud to hear whatever it is you're listening to. Indeed. If they cause ear damage it's user error, probably because the users associate ear pain with listening, after using iPod earbuds for years... I use the Senn in ears and not only do they sound fantastic but they block out most outside noise, such that I rarely ever have to turn the volume past 50%. Way portable, too.
