Better earphones for iPods?

What earphones are you using on your MP3 players?

The ones that came with my iPod (minipods that stick in the edges of the
ear canal) aren't bad soundwise, but there are more expensive little
pods out there. Incredibly expensive, in some case. Anyone purchased any
reasonably price little earphones for their players that actually go
partially in the ear canal and are comfy?

Thanks.
rafter reading the concerns on damage to the ears, I would follow the
recommendations of the experts and not use the ear buds/buttons. I
would use a conventional headphone, with a noise canceling ear enclosure
so you can listen at a lower volume and not have any other noise
distract from your music.

Thanks. Good grief...there's a pair of $900 earbuds on that first page.

I love looking at the BOSE stuff, but it is always outrageously overpriced.

This is what I purchased my daughter to use with her IPOD (or the one
she stole from my stereo to take to school) and for my wife to use with
her keyboard. Sennheiser is great quality and a very reasonable price.
I liked this model because it was very comfortable and very light weight.

Bose is nice, but I have always felt they were overpriced.

I was looking at noise canceling headphones and saw the $300 price for the
Bose............I was floored.

I have heard great things about Sennheiser and their headphones.

BTW: Thanks for the link Reggie. Great information.

Sennheisers are amazing. I've got an old set of 414s, which were about $100
20 years ago. They're still the best headphones I've ever used in that price
range.

JohnH,
I purchased mine from "Guitar Center" because I wanted to hear them and
get the advice of their audio experts. I think I paid $129 vs. their
price of $99. If I knew what I was looking for I would buy from them
in a heartbeat. Since you are paying on a credit card, you are protected.

The price and review on those AKG is amazing, talk about a great
price/benefit ratio.

Well, I just ordered the AKG's so we'll see. They're currently out of
stock, until next week. I'll let you know how they work. For $45, they got
rave reviews!

Uh oh. Only bleeding heart liberals watch Oprah. Is there a little
political gulf between you and your wife John?

No, we're both extremely independent. Now, enough of the politics. You can
see what happened in the current Bush/Clinton debate going on. Regression
to acerbic, antagonistic, name-calling behavior takes so little time.

Again, Bose is expensive, but I'm telling you, if you get the noise
cancelling technology, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
