Hacking earphones

[tinymonkeyt]

uhm does anyone know where i can buy good earphones
im kinda looking for the in ear ones
but basically just one that works well (ones for ipods i guess)
im not sure i trust ebay all that much
but if theres nowhere else (i could try a store, but like, theyre much more expensive i think)
then ill just grab a random one off ebay (the problem is, i dunno if its fake or something)

When buying from eBay, just check the seller's feedback, before bidding or buying ... a high percentage ... 98%+ ... usually means you'll be okay ...

Plus, only pay with PayPal, and only buy an item listed as New ... that's what I do ...

Plus, fake headphones? ... is there any such thing?

Yup, Chinese knock-offs of Chinese original products, you could end with prodcut that will break in 3 days, try going to Radioshack, might not be the cheapest place -down here at least- but you'll know you're buying a legitimate product.

Why don't you just visit some local shop with tech. equipment..It wouldn't be too expensive to get it there..

And I remember I saw "iPodish" earphones on DealExtreme, there were good feedbacks on those, so try there, search a bit..It was some time ago, that I've came across that..

Give target a try, I saw some Sony and Philip earphones there similar to the ipod ones, cept they were uh colorful, I think there are neutral colors of em though. If I didn't have these iPod earphones I most likely would have bought one of those.

buy bose in ear head phones. there 100 US dollars. They are great. Great stage presence sound, and the low end bass is crazy

NO. BOSE IN-EARS ARE OVERRATED AND NOT EVEN WORTH IT. IT'S A FACT, NOT AN OPINION.

And I'd rather get a Shure earphone. Same price, double the value. Ultimate ears fi.5s' are fine too.

Ultimate Ears Super Fi.5 Pros are the best $180 I've ever spent.

Oh. If that's the case, JVC marshmallow earphones. They're cheap, around $20 in my area, but I hear they sound good for the price.

Sennheiser cx300's? You can get them on ebay for -$20 just make sure you don't get a fake.
