|
 |
Anybody know of a reasonably priced pair of headphones or earphones for use with the iPod that also has volume control? I'm not an audiophile but obviously I don't want to buy anything worse than the regular iPod earphones which are fine for casual listening.
Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds myself, and these look really uncomfortable. Do you actually own any of these? How are they?

Speaking of high quality headphones, check out the most expensive pair.
AKG K1000. You can get a pair on ebay for $1,299.00 |
Bwahahah What the hell are those!
Spend $1299 and look like a cyberman.

Right? lol.
Well if you care...
| Quote: | | The K 1000 are a unique design that is the equivalent of wearing a pair of loudspeakers on the head. The speaker capsule uses a unique, freely vibrating multilayer diaphragm driven by a newly developed, radially magnetized VLD (Ventilated Linear Dynamic) magnet system. Sitting in front of the ear, this dynamic transducer provides the best acoustic coverage factor. The earphones using no acoustically hard parts, the sound is absolutely free to develop in all its splendor. The speakers are acoustically finetuned in a computer-optimized process including time-energy distribution (Wigner distribution) measurements and made with advanced manufacturing techniques. The result is an unobstructed plane sound field in front of the ear that provides a personalized listening experience. |
