What are the best in ear headphones available for an mp3 player and good value for money too?

Question

I am looking for in ear headphones for my mp3 player, I like to listen to all music types. If any one has suggestions about other types then fire away!

Answer 1

The Etymotic ER-6i are pretty good in ear 'phones..but are quite dear at £80.

The Sennheiser CX300 are decent at £35.

If you must go for IEM's, make sure there is a good seal (there should be some suction when you pull them out of your lug-holes)

I listened to a pair of the Sony MDR 710 EP and was very impressed with the fit. These are not in-ear though.

I own a pair of Grado SR60's (on-ear style). I love these, if your budget stretches, have a listen to the SR80's..they're great.

Answer 2

I just got som Sennheiser ones which have a sort of bubble which fits in your ear and blocks out background noise. They are truly amazing, you don't realise how much stuff you miss without them! You can get them on the Apple store but are cheaper through Amazon!

Answer 3

V-Moda Vibe earbuds available through apple.com. Three different colors, awesome sound, contemporary styling. There might be better ones out there, but these shouldn't disappoint.

Answer 4

iPod touch third gen, and i use the Monster beats headphones for two years. i must say that the earphones bought from this online shop are really great.

Answer 5

in ear headphones are disgusting AND dangerous. They block out sounds from the outside world, therefore if you are cycling or out and about (e.g. crossing the road) you put yourself in a dangerous position.

They are also nasty to share - if you wanna share your music with someone (a friend? haha) normal headphones are covered in ear wax!! - Seriously they are horrible - dont get in ear headphones!!

Get headphones or normal earphones. They will not get you injured/killed either!

Hope this helps!
