headphones please

palidon112 · 11-15-2006, 12:45 AM

im looking for a pair of headphones, im aiming for $100 or lower, but can prolly go up to $150. i wanna use it for my pc and my ipod. im going to use them snowboarding, so if theyre helmet compatible that would be good, but i dont always wear my helmet so is they arent helmet compatible it should be fine. im looking mainly for sound quality. i searched the forums and i didnt find a whole lot.

one thing i'd like to, im not sure what it would be called, but i want to be able to listen to my headphones relatively loudly without everyone 2 rooms over being able to hear it..

I have the Griffin Earthumps, ($15, lol) and they are great, though they wouldn't perform the same as a $100 set.

im looking at those, but my only concern is if they would fall out while i snowboard. my ipod earbuds fall out all the time. anyone know how well these stay in your ear?

I've tried out the E500PTH Earbuds... Amazing sound... Amazing quality, and they didnt fall out of my ears once. Just what you would expect from Shure.

i can strongly reccomend these. Saitek A300'

they truly have an awesome sound, its pretty comfortable to wear them, and really awesome sound quality.
I really wouldnt spend more than $40 on a headset (40 is quite a lot already) the ones that cost more dont have much better sound quality (also keep in mind you have a lot of noise from the background always anyway) the difference is usually just very small.

besides.. you said you go snowboarding with them,.. what are the odd's of a cable breaking during that?

well the IEM headphones have about 20 db decrease in ambient noise, which is pretty good. im just wondering if they will fall out or not.
