What are the best ear-bud headphones under $50?

I’m going to Europe for about a year and (of course) taking my iPod with me. The problem is, Apple’s ear-buds that come with the iPod get pretty uncomfortable after about an hour. I’m looking for a pair of ear-buds headphones that are good quality, provide good sound, are comfortable, but aren’t too expensive.
The main two that I have been looking at are the Koss "Plug" portable headphones and the Sony Fontopia headphones. Does anyone have any other suggestions or are one of these good?

In my humble opinion... Sony MDR-EX51LP Studio Monitor Headphones (Blue) $39.95 Quantity: 1.
I use them and enjoy them for the price!
... of course, for over the price... Bose TriPort Headphones - Silver or any Sennheiser (HD497, HD590, etc.) pair will work fantastically.
Oh, yeah, the PX100, PX200, PMX60 by Sennheiser are good portables ones, too... highly recommended!

  • What are the best Earbud Headphones for $50 or Le

    Hey i was wondering what the best earbud headphones were for less than $50 shipped. I want a design like EP-630 Or the CX-300 's. But what are the BEST for my price range? CX's look good but are there anything better?
    Thanks,Matt

    I think you can get the CX cheaper than $50 shipped. This website rates them all.

    Hi
    For iMovie'08 to 11 - There are no Plug-ins - not supported at all
    iMovie HD (in reality HD5) - doesn't work under Mac OS X.7 - at all
    iMovie HD6 - can take Plug-ins and run under Mac OS X.7 - BUT some of the Plug-ins doesn't work under X.7
    old list on - Plug-ins - Only relevant to  iMovie HD6 (May be they are too old)

  • What are the best archiving methods for small colleges?

    Hi Folks,
    Im thinking a few terabyte hard drives will be my best option for a hundred dollars each.
    We have a small operation here at a New England college with two editing systems that get a good amount of student use and use by myself for college needs. Some of the student work will get deleted at the end of each semester, but I need to save all the college's video.
    What are the best ways to archive? Some of my concerns are cost and space. I can afford a few externals, do any of you have a nice cheap solution?
    I understand if I am to go the route of archiving on externals I should have a backup of my backup, do any of you guys have any feedback on ghosting your backups, is that common?
    thanks
    Mike

    If it's JUST for backup (not operation), you can get bare drives and either an enclosure for 1 or 2 drives with no tools trays (like the ones from Sansdigital: about $120 for a 1 drive enclosure) or a device like the UltraDock from Wiebetech (I use the latter). Physically install (or connect in the case of Ultradock) a bare SATA II 3.5" drive, connect it via USB 2, Firewire, esata, initialize/erase it, and then copy your files.
    Then store the drive carefully in the foil anti-static bag it came in a dry location where it won't get jostled about by errant students (or kids in my house).
    The savings in not getting full drive enclosures in the cost of multiple power supplies and interfaces. You pay for that once with the mountable enclosure / drivedock, and thereafter, just buy bare drives.
    I also like another reply: have the students provide drives on which to back up their projects. A friend of mine has a ProTools audio studio, and part of his "set up" charge, is $100 for a bare drive that he will archive for 5 years, or the client can take with him at the end of the project (when the bill is paid).

  • CS3 - What Are the Best Export Settings for Animation?

    I have edited a project in Premiere Pro CS3. It is animated, and I want to preserve as much of the quality of the animation as I can.
    What are the best possible settings that I can use to export the video to a .MOV file?
    A little background info, in case it helps:
    The animations were created in After Effects, and the .MOV files were made with the Animation codec.
    After editing in Premiere, I exported the finished file to the Animation codec. It looks so-so.
    Important: I imported the Premiere Project into After Effects, and exported the project with After Effects. The After Effects Quicktime file looks better than the Premiere version of the Quicktime file. (And has a higher data rate, in case that matters.)
    What kind of settings do I need to select in Premiere when I export the video to make the .MOV file look as good as it can?
    (And please don't be afraid to dumb it down.)
    Thx!

    Try an Uncompressed "QT" file.  (Component YUV - 10-bit)
    BTW: Did your PPRO Settings match the AEFX Comp you exported from?

  • What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

    I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

    I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
    The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
    Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
    Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
    Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
    When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
    Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

  • What are the best practies for naming symbols (spaces OK,etc.)?

    What are the best practices for symbol naming for ease, flexibility, & to avoid "gatchas" down the road?
    Does it make any difference if one includes spaces in the names of symbols?  Are there any widely followed conventions for naming them like using camelCase or underscores?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gina D 3333,
    Best-practice file-naming conventions for PDF files are the same as for any other file. I found this article on Apple's website that contains some useful pointers to consider when you're naming files that will be used on multiple platforms: OS X: Cross-platform filename best practices and conventions
    I hope this helps!
    Best,

  • What are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone

    what are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone?

    You could simply log into your child's email with the password that the two of you agree upon, and monitor the emails manually.  As for the texts, you could purchase a separate device, and use the child's Apple ID to monitor the iMessages.  For SMS/MMS, no way to monitor it.  You'll have to use the app called 'Random Parental Inspections'.

    What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
    I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import?  Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

    See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
    Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
