earbuds

What kind of ear buds do ya'll use with your mp3 players? I just bought a nano, any type of dance music sounds horrid on it. When I plug in my dj head phones I get good sound, so I'm thinking the earbuds just have a limited range of sound. Has anyone had good results on earbuds.

I tihkn they are more limited but some obviously are much better than others. Sennheiser probably makes good ones, and I know there are also ones made by Shure which I'm sure are excellent, like these $350 ones.

yeah, those look nice, but I didn't pay that much for my dj head phones..lol!! It kind of sucks, because it's not worth having an ipod if the music sounds like shit on it, and running around with a big pair of dj headphones just looks silly.

You should get the ones I have, they're really good and not expensive.

cool...I will definitely check these out! I was looking for someone who listened to dance music to recommend something.

It's funny that your from Montreal, I just watched this special on NGC about the biker gangs in Montreal. Pretty crazy shit...I thought ya'll were all peace and love over there ...lol!! That type of violence would rival New Orleans.

Aye, I picked up some of these, used, for 50$

They rock! They still aren't up to par with my Sony 7506 cans but they deliver good tones all across with a solid low end, and they block out a good amount of outside noise. I use em on the bus and you only hear the music.

Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket 11 mm. They look funky and have pretty good bass.

Coincidentally I happened to catch that same documentary this morning on the History network. I didn't even know they were THIS bad.

Sennheiser cx 55

Love them.

Creative EP-630 best value for price, almost identical to CX-300 but cheaper.

Also check EP-830.
