Replacement Ipod headphones?

Booner! · 2 Jan 2008 at 13:06

Well my brother has lost a 2nd set of Ipod headphones and I have the Gym tonight

I am struggling to find genuine replacement Ipod headphones (latest gen Nano) the same as the ones in the original box.

Any ideas?

Oh my Gosh why would you want to replace them! They're awful.

But I think apple shops sell them.

EDIT - also a competitor sells them.

I quite like them?

What sort of price are we talking? and what else could I get for my money? (I will be charging my brother this time....)

EDIT: All i can find are the stupid Lanyard ones for £25+ :eek:

Even my £10 2 years old Sennheiser MX500s are better than what comes with the ipods.

Hxc · 2 Jan 2008 at 19:23

Marshmellows are tops at that price point.

cx300?

I got some really cheap sennheisers on the bay for like 8 pounds they are really good

Hxc · 2 Jan 2008 at 19:55

Cheap and Sennheisers on ebay = almost certainly fake.

I bought some sony ones for mine they were £20 but they are really good way better than the normal Ipod ear phones.

The Apple standard phones suck. Mine (3G iPod) got used once and went back in the box. Used Sony EX-71s (phat baaaassss) until they broke, currently using Sennheiser CX-300s which are excellent.

You can get a set of JVC 'Marshmallows' for 97p from a certain high street store No competitors!!! Big Kev which will be so much better.

Wouldnt recommend them for the gym to be honest, as much as I like mine I find myself not using them that much as they are a farse to get in and make them stay in.

Margaret · 2 Jan 2008 at 20:33

Sennheiser CX300's.

just Scott · 2 Jan 2008 at 20:57

JVC Gummy from a popular high street store is a steal at 97p. They're good quality, I found them to be better than the iBuds anyway.

Do you have a good seal? Mine don't fall out.

I personally wouldn't recommend them for the gym because of the tight seal around your ear lobe.
