    Default IPOD earphones SUCK!

    I just received my IPOD yesterday. The overall packaging, construction, and product work very, very well. I can see why this thing is so popular.

    The earphones completely blow however! I've played less than 50 songs on it and they sound distorted and fuzzy. Complete crap for the price you pay! I bought some black Jensen's from Walmart today for $4.00 that BLOW these earphones away.

    Any recommendations for a better upgrade? Preferably in white, and under $40

    Seinheisser's are good.

    Seinheissers are good. i don't find that they hurt too much to be a factor choosing them. i find all ear phones that fit into your ear hurt the same sooner or later.

    i think ipods suck in general. You can't even delete songs except in Itunes.. and if you format your HD you can't even copy the songs back. It's fuckin pathetic. I sold mine awhile ago and got a creative.

    Yeah, can't believe the craze over ipod.

    Technically, it's almost the worse MP3 player you can find. Crappy sound, lousy copy protection and bad software, replacing battery is a pain in the ass.

    Everyone is fronting like they are with it unbeknowing that they are just sheeps like everyone else.

    those sony earbugs are good, but i think they cost around 50. panasonic ones are good too, for 20 bucks it cant hurt.

    Model # guys - I can't go searching for a set without knowing more than the manufacturer. Each has at least a few sets out on the market today.

    Also, i'd prefer earphones over headphones. Headphones are too bulky to take around in your pocket.

    I had the problem of Ipod earphones hurting my ears, not fitting well, sound was ok....Anyhow, I went hardcore and bought Etymotic Research ER-6i's

    info:
    http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6i.asp
    http://www.widget.co.uk/asp/product....rchFor=&PT_ID=

    Sure, they're expensive (I paid $190 off Ebay for mine), but they truly kick ass in terms of sound reproduction, bass, and noise isolation...Etymotic is a huge sound research lab, and they also make hearing aids, so you know they know their shit when it comes to sound reproduction....I just got back from Europe last week, and wore these on the plane, I could hardly hear the rumble, or the dinging for the seat belt alerts....They're comfortable to wear, small, lightweight, come with neoprene packaging, replacement filters, and foam style ear pieces in addition to the silicone ones.....

    NOTE: for a slightly cheaper alternative, look for the Etymotic ER-6's instead of the 6i's, they aren't as nice, and they are black, but they are cheaper, you may not even notice a difference in the sound quality (depends on the quality of your MP3's or AAC's)
