Best replacement Headphones for ipod

My family has seven ipods of different sizes and ages. We are constantly stealing each others' ear buds, losing them and breaking them. Every time I look for replacements, either Apple brand or 3rd party, it seems the reviews regarding quality are spotty at best.
What are the best options for replacing ipod ear phones?
Thanks!

Well, the Bose In-Ear Headphones are pretty good, high-quality, but expensive and don't really help with the Classic's lack of volume.
I have two sets of headphones, both made by Skullcandy (available at Best Buy - at least that's where I got mine). One is their Over-the-Ear Headphones, which have a BASS-Booster built in, and the other is their In-Ear Headphones, which have a volume adjuster on the cord, which does boost the volume just a bit without losing any quality that I can notice.
And you can purchase BOTH sets of the Skullcandy headphones for the price of the highly-rated Bose In-Ear headphones. Personally, if you're looking for a new set of In-Ear Headphones ... I'd go with the ones from Skullcandy.

  • WHAT IS THE BEST CLOSED HEADPHONE FOR IPOD $50-70?

    i have been looking at the Sony MDRV6, Sennheiser HD280, Sennheiser PX100, and Beyerdynamic DT 231. i have heard the Grado's in this price range are excellent as well but i don't really like open ear headphones. i need something good for the airplane and mowing the lawn.
    anybody know whats just right?

    I don't know about "best" since everyone will have their own opinion, but check out these.
    AKG K27i.
    Closed back, excellent sound quality, and I bought them for the same reason as you, for airplane use.
    I normally use the Sennheiser PX100s (which are open backed by the way, not closed), but they let in too much outside noise if you are not in a quiet environment.
    You could also check out PX200s which are closed back, but a bit bright in the top end for my taste.

  • The best output device for iPod?

    Hallo Everybody,
    Somedays ago I have seen an heard the T+A Caruso(http://www.taelektroakustik.de/deu/ta2/caruso/caruso.htm). This was it! Yes! Internetradio, CD and iPod in a perfect Combination of Sound! - and then the cold shower - 1700 Euro not $!
    Who know a ultimative solution under this price?
    DENON S52 is it not! no sound calibration!

    You can connect an iPod to any sound system. So the best "output device for iPod" is the same as the +best output device, period.+
    I'm told you get better sound (for the purpose of feeding into a sound system) if you connect the audio output through the docking connector, instead of from the headphone jack. You get +line level audio out+ like with other audio system components.
    You can do so if you have a Docking Station device with a stereo jack, or if you get a cable like this one.

  • Replacement Headphones for BB 9530

    I know there are any number of headphone options, but is there a way to get replacement headphones for a BlackBerry 9530 directly from RIM or Verizon?  I loved the sound and the feeling of those phones, and, of course, they have a microphone for handling calls.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can get a set of headphones like the original set you had from various vendors, such as Blackberry.com, Crackberry.com, and Amazon.com.  You can probably get the best price from Amazon.com.  I have bought from Crackberry many times before and I can vouch for their speed and professionalism at filling and sending orders.  But to answer your question, yes, you can get a set of headphones just like the OEM headphones that came with your device.  Hope this helps.

  • Best sync setting for iPod

    What is the best sync settings for iPod? I have it on manual now, if I select any other sync option, it asks if it's ok to delete everything on my iPod, then copy everything from my iTunes account on the computer. So if this happens every time, to copy one new album takes forever. Also, I noticed in the new iTunes, a playlist doesn't appear to copy over, just the songs, so then I have to go through all the procedures to make a new playlist on my iPod. Am I missing something?

    There is no "best way".
    Personally, I create a few playlists and select to sync only those playlists (as opposed to the entire library, which won't fit anyway).
    Then I simply add/delete from these playlists and sync to change what is on my iDevice.
    I find it is much easier to manage with playlists because you don't have to scroll through a big list on the iPod to see what's on it.
    Can create smart playlists to show what is NOT on the iPod.

  • Best screen protecter for iPod touch 5th generation?

    What is the best screen protecter for the iPod Touch 5th generation?

    Pretty much any of them made for an iPod 5 will protect the screen from scratches, it's more personal preference. I personally use a Survivor case by Griffin. It's a little bulky but it offers protection for the entire iPod not just the screen. The rubberized back and sides protect against drops and falls, (cracked screens) and the port covers keep muck and moisture out of the charging and headphone ports. I have beat the snot out of it and so far so good. Just note some cases are waterproof like the Survivor  (will keep most water off your iPod, spills, rain, snow) and some are watertight like Lifeproof Fre (drop it in the toilet-- happens more than you'd think-- or go swimming with it and it's still dry provided the seals are working). Check around, see what works for you. Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

    I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

    It is possible...
    If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
    It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.

  • What's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's, what's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's

    What is the best dvd burning program to replace idvd? i'm trying to burn good quality DVD's from imovie.

    There is no truly "best" replacement - I haven't found one that can do what iDVD can (customizable menus/themes).
    You can still purchase the retail iLife 11 disk which includes iDVD from online resellers, ebay, and Amazon. I've seen it there for as little as $25; Apple no longer offers it - I'm assuming they ran out of stock. I purchased it because I use it extensively and wanted to make sure I can reinstall if necessary.
    The closest alternative would be Roxio Toast ($$); excellent burning app (plus a slew of other things), I use it, but its' menu choices are not acceptable to me.

  • Best wireless headphones for 5G?

    I want to get wireless headphones for my 5G iPod. There seem to be three models from Logitech - the black ones, the white ones (more expensive for some reason), and the new "Free Pulse" with the stronger headband section.
    From what I have found, you have to use a short adapter cable to make the original Logitech headphones work. Does anybody know if this is the case with the new model "Free Pulse" too? I would prefer to have one that plugs directly into my iPod so I still only have to carry around one unit rather than the iPod plus a little attachment.
    If NONE of them plug right in...has anybody tried using PSP headphones with their iPod? I believe that also works as a little attachment rather than connecting directly, but I'm not sure. The PSP wireless headphones are cheaper than the iPod ones, I've noticed.
    So has anybody had any good experiences with wireless headphones for your 5G iPod? Which do you recommend? I want to keep the cost as low as possible but I do still want a decent product.
