I’m looking to buy some new iPod headphones to replace the factory ones I accidentally broke while trying to store my iPod safely in my glove compartment. It’s quite sad because I was being extra careful not to let the ear buds slip into a crack where they could get crushed. My attempts to keep them safe failed because they slipped at the last second when I closed the box. Now, I’m out of luck and need some new headphones.
I would like to upgrade to a nicer pair than the standard Apple ones, but I don’t know which ones to buy. I don’t want to spend too much. I’m not an audiophile but I do appreciate good sound. I mainly listen to podcast and would like the headphones to block at some noise and be comfortable. I don’t want the large, over the ear headphones even though their probably the best. I know the features I just described may be impossible to find less expensive headphones, but I’d love to hear some suggestions before I buy.
Please let me know in via the comments below if you’ve had any good or bad experiences with headphones. I’d greatly appreciate the advice. Thanks!

Honestly, the new Apple iPod earphones are the best set I’ve used with my iPod in terms of comfort and sound. I have a pair of the Apple iPod in-ear headphones and they’ve never been very comfortable… The newly redesigned headphones are very, very comfortable. The Apple Store has a lot of headphones (with buyer ratings). You might want to check it out as well to help you narrow down your choices.
The Apple ones don’t seem to be availiable from Apple.com any longer. I thought the sound quality was pretty good on the old ones, they just weren’t very comfortable and wouldn’t stay in my ear really well. The new Apple seems to be what I’m looking for.
Good idea on the reading the reviews on Apple. I actually already read a ton of reviews on Apple and Amazon. I just like to hear reviews from people I know….more trustworthy.
BTW, I noticed your A Mini-Design Update post after my slight nudge
Also, I’m going a Wii hunt this weekend. If the electronics store I talked to doesn’t come through on Friday, I’m hitting Wal-Mart bright and early on Sunday before Church like you suggested.
Thanks again Chris.
Hey, a nudge always helps
The in-ear set comes with three sets of different sized inserts (depending on your ear opening). The newer design of the standard Apple earphones are available on apple.com… They don’t look that much different than their predecessors but to me they are a heck of a lot more comfortable to wear.
Good luck on the Wii Hunt! You may want to call ahead to see if they’re expecting any this weekend. Usually you can call the electronics department to find out.
