Looking for replacement for me ipod headphone OEM
 
My OEM ipod headphone broke, i am look for replacement ones. I dont want to upgrade or downgrade.

I dont mind the original sound quality. I am looking to spend around $15

There are alot of fake ipod headphones, I wonder if they are any good?

NCix has some G-cube, Sony, Altec Lansing in ear style ones for 3.99, 6.99, 12.99

ANyone used those?

get some in ear headphones, you won't go back to the oem apple's.

they aren't very expensive, i got a pair of skull candy's from the states a while back for like $15. they're noise cancelling and sound awesome, almost like having a tiny pair of subs in your ears.

+1 Practically everything is better than the OEM Apple ones.

JVC Mashmallow are nice and cheap.

LP700-4 11-29-2011 06:49 PM

+1 to the in ear's

I have Skullcandy's now and cant imagine using apple's OEM ones.

But ill sell you OEM Apple unused ones for $10 if ya want em. PM me

Why replace a crappy set with another crappy set?

anything is better than the junk Apple gives you.

Try the JVC Marshmallows, you can usually pricematch them to ~$20 or so, otherwise in your price range the Altec Lansings look pretty good. As those above have said, go for some good in-ears, it'll cut out the outside noise, and let you actually hear the bassline without making yourself deaf haha. To be honest though, I think ~$50 for headphones would be a sweet spot for most, the sound quality goes up pretty quickly.

^ seems to fit for me , too bad the sale on it was over. Saw them for $12.99 last week i think...

Whatever you do, don't craigslist apple head phones and buy the china knockoffs they last for like a week.

Futureshop has headphones that are like 9.99 which are better

mp4nation. look for IEM's. great site for reviews and they've got great products too.

Meelectronics...the best budget IEM's around.

they go on sale <20 USD once in a while

NLY 11-30-2011 04:03 PM

I bought these for $30

Panasonic Stereo Earbud Headphones (RPHJE270) - Black : In-Ear/Earbud Headphones - Future Shop

i use them at the gym and running. they are really comfortable and sound awesome compared to the apple earphones.

another good thing is the 1 year warranty where i can have them replaced in store as long as it's not physical damage

+1 . Always the Meelectronics M6 is always my first recommendation for cheap IEMs. It sounds great for the price and is super comfortable -- you can wear this thing to sleep.

twitchyzero 11-30-2011 05:16 PM

the M6P (M6 with mic) was on sale i think yesterday for $11...newegg.com though and it's now $18 instead

the next time the ultimate ears trip fi 10 goes for $95 again i'll definitely bite :)

Manic! 11-30-2011 08:39 PM

Another thumbs up for the JVC Marshmallow.

Senna4ever 11-30-2011 09:05 PM

I bought a $25 pair of Sony earphones at the Sony Store and they were actually quite decent.

StylinRed 11-30-2011 10:46 PM

shame u missed the Ultimate Ears metro earphones @ ncix on BF they were $20 i bought one they feel cheap but they really kill outside sound and the sq is excellent for $20


amazon is still having a sale on their in-earphones http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=mp3sb_he...pf_rd_i=172630

I might buy the M6 again (broke a pair this summer) as a backup. Lately, though, I've taken to wearing full-sized cans around campus and during my commute.
