Can anybody recommend me a got pair of headphones which do ot break my wallet? they are supposed to play stuff from my mobile music player, no recording issues or something. Ive burned two pairs yesterday with a headphone out (beware of static sounds).
I like the isolation of those semi-in ear ones, and I hate these old school earbuds which got absolutely no isolation. and no, I do not got 1000 bucks for some ultimate ear in ears. |

The headphones I have are great, but they came with my computer. They're the in-ear ones with rubber that plugs your ears. They're definitely cheap, but they sound great and pick up really low frequencies pretty well.
Someone told me they're just like the Skullcandy ones, but I haven't tried those so I can't confirm. |

yeah thats what I am talking about. I think this kind of headphones is a great choice for obile player because of the high isolation.
how much are they? |

I've seen the Skullcandy ones for about $20. I don't know how they compare to mine, but they should be close. I've seen other brands in that style closer to $50. My friend had a $50 pair and he loved them.

I swear by Grados. You can get a good set for under 100 bucks.
I used to own the SR125s (for a bood 15 years). I recently replaced them with the SR80s. They are excellent. http://www.gradolabs.com/frameset_main.htm

I'm personally biased against all in-ear phones. I think they all sound too shrill.

It depends on what you want em for. For just listening to music in a non-audiophilic kinda way then the Creative's are the best value.

yeah I am kinda audiophil. but if I want really good phones then I would go for the AKG k701 (maybe the hilarious modded version) which is too expansive for me at the moment.
I am kinda searching for pretty decent ones where I dont think "what the fuck they sound like shitting in a can". like the ones I bought today for emergency... and I think for mobile listening the in ears are perfect because of the high isolation. |

Sounds like you pretty much know what you want then and don't need our recommendations. Go for it, young man.

if you don't want them to break your wallet, buy the smallest ones you can find.
