Salamantis said:I apologize in advance for the month-old bump but I figured it would be better than making a new topic.
So I'm in the same dilemma as the OP here, I'm looking for some decent quality headphones.
To start, they're going to be used with my iPod, therefore on the go (car/school/sometimes home). I don't know how it feels to carry around the regular ear cup headphones, might be annoying to carry it in your pocket every day. I'd tend to prefer the regular buds.
I'm not looking for the best of the best, but not bad quality 'phones. Something below 60-70$ would be nice, or if really there's something good I should have then no more than 100$ (max max max limit).
Also as you may know I'm in Canada so please nothing that's only found @ newegg.com or amazon.com. I'd prefer a Canadian store with Canadian prices because some headphones in the US that cost 50$ there might cost much more here.
I was looking at the CX300 on newegg.ca because many people suggested them but they don't seem to have very good ratings...
Also I'd like headphones that are the same length of cable from the left bud to the plug and the right bud to the cable. I hate the ones that aren't equal lengths on each side...
Thanks in advance.
You could ask Head-fi, for they're much better for answering a question like this. There are Yuin earbuds, which are well known, but I don't think any Canadian stores sell them. Not that Canadian stores sell anything good at all.
As much as I hate it, Canadian retailers are the worst places to buy anything of from. When Cowon D2 prices were "sinking" in the US, they were raising the prices here for no reason. There's also the Cowon O2, which are sold at 299 for 32 gigs. Canada sells them at 329 for 16 gigs. Rip-off, I say.
EDIT: Also, the Sound Magic PL30s are known to be good. But they're the type of earphones that go in your ears. They're cheap, but quite well regarded in Head-fi.
EDIT 2: Zune phones are good too.
