good quality headphones for ipod image

Michael

My iPod headphones just fall out when I lift what are some quality headphones that will stay in my ears for under $50

Answer
You could get some good canalphones (HiFiMan RE2, Sennheiser CX300) and hang them over your ear and wear the cable under your shirt. I do that sometimes and they've never moved while exercising. If you do go with this route, consider foam tips, they are more secure than rubber ones.

That or Koss KSC-75 are pretty secure and sound excellent for the price. They clip onto your ears, and once you've got them on, stay on pretty tight. I've gone running in them and they don't budge.
Koss KSC-50 are also great, they go round the back of your neck and they won't go anywhere.

What Are the Best Noise Canceling Headphones?

Q. I have problems being able to listen to my music on airplanes or in the car without having to turn the volume up really loud on my ipod? What are the best noise canceling/best sound quality headphones for around $200 or less (hopefully less than $150). They also must be able to work on an ipod nano generation 4. They can be any type (over ear, in ear, ect.) of headphones also. Thanks

Answer
You could try the Audio Technica ATH-M50, which is not noise canceling, but is a closed-back headphone so will passively isolate you from noise. I travel a lot on planes and I've found that a good closed headphone works just as well as noise canceling headphones to cut out the noise. In fact, I'm off on a flight tonight and I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing 6 hours listening to my Bowers and Wilkins P5 headphones... Anyway, back to the Audio Technica. They're supposed to be one of the very best headphones available at the $150 level. The headphone addicts over at http://www.head-fi.org love them and often recommend them as upgrades for people who are unhappy with the sound of their Beats or Bose.

Are you missing out on music if you use the standard apple earbuds?

Are all those expensive high quality headphones like bose, beats by dre, and skullcandy really worth it and do they make music on mp3 more enjoyable, or are standard apple earbuds that come with ipod touches perfectly fine?

Answer
The standard ones are fine.

What are the best headphones out right now?

How come some headphones I saw on websites cost over $200? Is the quality better than iPod headphones or worst? Sum people wrote to buy the ones that cost less than $30. Those are probably horrible.

Answer
There are an overwhelming number of headphones from a variety of makers at every price point. However, quality varies. You should also consider where you'll be using your headphones (ie, at home or on-the-go). Fortunately, there are two amazing options that won't break the bank.

For home use, the Grado SR60 ($69 in USA) offer the greatest value. The sound is so crystal clear and detailed that it feels like you're immersed among the instruments! It sounds significantly better than most $200+ headphones (and it obliterates any overrated, overpriced Bose crap).

For portable use, the Koss Portapros (<$50) are legendary. They've been a bestseller since the 80s and sound almost as good as the SR60. Koss's lifetime warranty is another reason to buy these.

I own both these headphones, use them everyday with my iPod and laptop, and find them extremely comfortable to wear. If I had to choose only one, it would probably be the Portapros, simply for their portability. There are many reviews written on these two models, if you'd like another opinion. Ask any audiophile and they'll attest to their greatness in sound and value. Just remember that more money does not always equal better sound quality.
