iPhone in-ear headphones?

[Tom]

My in ear apple ones are starting to give up the ghost, still work fine but they are looking a little tired.

So i have a strict budget of £50 and would like a remote+mic. Im really pleased with the apple ones so tempted to get another pair but i'd thought id ask on here before in case i was making a huge mistake.

Please, no beats or massive cans. I like discreet so in ear is best.

 

[The Boosh!]

The apple ones are pretty pricey IMO @ £26! I didn't know you could get aftermarket ones with remotes

 

[Tom]

£26? you mean the standard apple ones? Those are s**t.

 

[The Boosh!]

I don't think they're that bad

I like the look of those. Bet you could get them cheaper from amazon as well.

 

[Revels]

They sound okay until you listen to something else.

What about the in-ear beats?

I have these

Was just gonna say Sennheisers. I would get those for sure. Been DJ'ing for almost 18yrs now and swear by their kit.

Stick with what you already have mate.

You know what you're getting that way and don't run the risk of throwing £50 down the drain.

I use JVC ones for the gym cost me £5 from wilkinsons.

Do the job I use them for though.

I can't use the normal apple ones as I have funny ears

I used to love Sennheiser headphones, but their build quality is f**king dire. So I fucked them off and got a set of Plantronic Backbeat 216s (http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/backbeat-216 - black though not the gash white shown). Amazing sound quality, full iPhone compatibility, good build quality and great customer service. Think they were about £25.

I have the same ones and if I'm honest I think they are crap, one of my mates had some Sennheiser ones, they were about £20 but they were brilliant compared to my Apple ones. They don't seem to cope very well when played loud. Or do you think the opposite?

I've always rated Sennheisers, got a decent headset for gaming (and an older set i no longer use) and in-ear headphones!

 

[Dan1587]

When my Apple ones give up the ghost I will be buying some, or Bose? What are they like, always heard good things about they quality and sound but they are expensive aren't they?

From what I've read they're very overrated/expensive for the actual quality!

Ah right that surprises me.

What In-Ears do you use?

 

[JD]

Tom, I have these. Came free with an event we did. I don't need/want them and they don't owe me anything. If you want to PM me your address I'll put them in the post when I'm back in London.

 

[Rob]

Far too much of a nice chap J-dizzle. Got to love the CS help network.

Tom, if you get them, give them a review as it seems a fair few are looking for one.

 

[Tom]

Lovely boy, yhpm.

 

[The Boosh!]

Bump. I need some now any other suggestions. I'm a bit of a brand ***** so want to stick to well known names if poss.

 

[Geddes]

i've had some Seinhauser one and only lasted 6 months dont get me wrong they were awesome sound but as said not good build quality. The OE Apple ones are quit uncomftable after about an hour i got to take them out as me ear lobe starts to hurt. I'm after earphones around £30-£35 other than Seinhauser that's the same if not better sound quality that does last longer

It's all about the Klipsch

I can't recommend Plantronics any more sadly. The sound quality of them is f**king immense but the build quality sucks, two pairs dead in under 12 months through normal listening. First ones were covered by waranty but the second pair literally fell apart. Needed some desperately as I was in LDN about to get a boring train back home so ended up in HMV and bought some House of Marley - Jammin' - People get ready earphones. They're fully iPhone 4/S compatible with remote control and inline mic, build quality is really good and they've got a funky design to them (made from wood). Sound quality is really good but I'd prefer them to be a bit more bassy. All in all though I'm pleased with them and they didn't cost the earth (yey for an eco friendly pun!).

[treemanx]

I've got a pair of apple in ear ones, the expensive ones that come in the triangle case? Don't use them anymore, feel they're a bit weak bass wise.

 

[Geddes]

after looking at the Klipsch i've been looking at this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0044TZF44/?tag=cliospnet01-21

i'll give these ago as these are at my price range

These were the brand I wanted to ask a headphone geek about.

Thought I'd be the first, bugger!

Cant remember how much i payed so im not sure if theyre in your range, the tangle free cables make live easy! They suit the iphone style pretty well with the inline controls and the sound quality sh ts on the apple in ear headphones

I take back what I said about the bass level, not sure if I've been going deaf lately and it's suddenly cured or what but this afternoon in the gym these things came to life. Amazing and I love them.

Theyre quite comfortable in my ears and i use them when i go running aswell, build is top notch no signs of wearing and ive had them since February, Only thing i regret is that i got them before i got my iphone so i bought the black set. Then i bought a white iphone lol

Klipsch S4i - Mind blowing, you will struggle to find a better in-ear phone.

Dont buy off ebay though, I bought from a guy on there and they are fake. There are a lot of copies going around these days, they are amazingly good copies too.

Getting these i think!

Somebody else mentioned the Klipsch to me.http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...rce=0&searchstring=Klipsch+s4&urlrefer=search

As for a good upgrade headphone the SennHeiser CX300II are awesome, they don't have the remote function but for £15 they are hugely impressive, I've just bought some Atomic Floyd Superdarts arrive tomorrow cannot wait.

 

[mas]

Klipsch are awesome. Be careful with play, when I got stung on eBay... I looked it all up on the net and people have had resports of fakes coming from Play, and even Amazon. But thats just the 'marketplace' sections on their sites I think.

Just get them from an Authorised seller.

Bought them. £65 quid on amazon so not too bad. I hope they're worth the money.
