For out-and-about headphones (and in-open-plan-office headphones), I also value a canalphone design that cuts out background noise without you having to turn the music up to drown it out. |

My Sennheiser CX-300s were great for this. You can barely hear anything even when you haven't got any music playing. |

I have always gone for in-earphones before, so I pretty much have no idea what is good and what is not. I'd prefer wired for better sound quality and they must have a 3.5mm connector. I have these. They RRP for £150, but I got mine for £60. They're fucking gorgeous. |

You sometimes see Fanny Wangs for under £100. The styling is quite divisive, though. Fanny. Wangs. Grado 60i's at home and Wangs for out and about. Do this and you will feel happy and fulfilled. Best wishes, ________ |

Any recommendations for good earphones with external noise-blocking rubber thingies? Sennheiser CX300s seem to be popular, what of the Skullcandy or Ministry of Sound varieties? |

Constant clicks, pops and hisses. The last update improved ir but it's still shit. I've had the phone randomly skip to the next track and crash, which is probably zune's aac converson. If I press the buttons on the klipsch inline remote it pauses or the music app crashes. Mostly things just sound awful and it seems to be the phone not the headphones. |

Try some Xears XE200PRO http://www.xears.com/produkte/experienc ... ut-edition. I have a pair and they are really very good. Definitely better than my Sony MDR-V6 for outside listening. You can use the voucher code KLANGFUZZIS to drop the price down to 45 euros. They are a ridiculous bargain at that price. One caveat - his quality control is not excellent, I had two pairs break within a few months but he replaces them no questions asked (you just need to send a photo of the headphones with the cable cut). The latest pair have a very different cable, and have given me no problems so I expect it's a problem that he has solved. |

For goodness sake. I got myself a pair of Skullcandy earphones after two sets of Sony earphones broke within weeks. Nice clear bass and a decent price. The music sounds very 'wide' on them and you are treated to details in the music that were too subtle for the Sony ones. My iPod/iPhone earphones are still in the little wrap they ship them in. Evil things (actually, those styles wont fit in my wars without leaving them very sore and red, so doubly evil) |

After two months with the Panasonic EXTREME EXPLOSIVES... they're pretty good. They really do a great job of keeping the noise out, so plane or subway I can actually hear all the music clearly, and keep the volume down fairly low as a result. However, they really, really hurt after you've been wearing them for a while. So, no long gaming sessions or such with them.

I bought some bluetooth headphones t'other day. True story. These ones Now, it comes with a little control panel goober that does the bluetooths and audio controls. It also comes with some headphones. Which are shit. But have an appropriately short lead for clipping the Bluetooth goober onto your shirt. So I've replaced shit headphones with my Klipsch ones, which sound much better. But have an annoyingly long lead. Question: can anyone recommend a decent pair of sub-£30 in-ear headphones that don't have a long lead? I suspect not, as most people would prefer a long lead. But thought I'd ask. |

Grim... wrote: What sort of length are you looking for? 12"? 24"? Good question. How are leads measured? Is it from the jack to where the headphones split? Or from the jack to the bud of the shortest headphone? If the former, the Sony (which are a good length for my needs) are 13". If the latter, the Sony are 24". |

Honestly, I think the best answer might be to take it to a friendly electrician and ask them to shorten the longer lead for you. Or tie a knot in it. |
