Earphones for iPod use

stoofa · 16 Jul 2013 at 10:04

So I'm dusting off the iPod as its time to get back into the gym. Alas the earphones I had became tangled around everything and under an old hard drive......they are no more.
So, I need some new earphones. Want something "in ear" rather than sitting upon the head. Needs to offer relatively good quality noise and reduce the outside noise as best as possible however must not cost the earth (not putting a budget as to be honest I don't know what range I should be looking at).
Any suggestions?

You can go very expensive with earphones, I used to use Sennheiser CX-300 IIs when they were £20-25 mark; you may be able to find them somewhere for that. The problem is they don't have a long lifetime with we, nor do many earphones so I'd never spend a massive amount on them. I'm not saying they will break that easily, it's probably just me.

I'd try the SoundMAGIC E10 Earphones, well priced, I've read awesome reviews for them too. Don't bother with the E10M, it just adds an in-line mic.

RHA M350 they are around £30, I got mine last year and have been very impressed with them. They also have some of the best customer service I have ever experienced, From initially E-Mailing them about ripped braid to sending me a replacement only took hours. 10/10 would recommend.

The SoundMAGIC E10s are a good shout, my previous pair before them was the Sennheiser CX-300II. You can buy cheap foam buds as well for them for better sound isolation.

Thanks for the posts.
Decided to give the SoundMagic ones a go. I'm reading good review after good review on them.
Those that give bad feedback complain about the quality - seems to be some failing at quite a young age.
But thought I'd give them a go.
