If you do need a new pair of earphones though, I would suggest getting a pair of in-ear phones (also known as canalphones). While the high end ones will cost you somewhere in the region of a couple hundred, there are a few budget models out there which are worth taking a look.

The Sony EX-71SL is a great pair of canalphones, however it's somewhat pricy at around $80, though I have owned a pair and it served me well for a couple of years.




The alternative to the Sony one at this price range is the Panasonic RP-HJE50, which can be bought for less than the Sony EX-71s, at around $55 in Sim Lim. These are more or less copies of the Sony EX-71s but that does not mean that they pale in terms of performance. In fact, they're highly regarded as the best budget canalphones at this pricing.

i also thought the sony in-ear earphones sucked..i tried the model you mentioned and a lower end one...for both the mid-range and treble response were rather weak. I thought my normal ipod earphones sounded much more open and vocal if you know what i mean.

the problem with those in-ear earphones is that they become useless if you lose the rubber caps. That was what happened to my $80 pair.

iPod earphones have quality & strength bt no endurance.

You can actually buy the caps from the manufacturer......

 

[Vaiyen]

really? Where exactly? I went to a Sony boutique and they didn't stock them.

 

[mero]

I think you have to mail them directly. In other countries what they do is to send a letter to them with a cheque for a small amount (couple of dollars i think) and they mail back a package containing the caps that you order.

i see..

 

[moggie_54]

What earphone can I buy for less than $30?? Any brands will do.. 8)

 

[jeremyrozario]

i don't really like earphones, very trebly, i prefer headphones, esp those huge 1s, they give really nice umph, and don't really break up so easily, but well, theres the drawback of size, god is fair :lol: :roll:

 

[moggie_54]

Which headphones do you own?? I heard that Seinheiser (Sorry for the wrong spelling) has gd quality though.. :lol:
