MP3 Ear Buds

BlackDog · 05-18-2009, 07:10 PM

I'm leaning towards some of the Shure models in the under $100 bracket. Am I going to like the "sound isolation" earbuds in an office environment? Are they difficult to take off and put on to talk with colleagues, answer the phone, etc?

Most in-ear style headphones are going to do a large amount of isolation. For example, I wear mine on the train and I don't hear anything, but I like that. To hear anyone talk I just pop one out. Putting them in takes a little getting used to but it really only takes a second.

I looked at the Shure and Bose models for my iPod Touch. Never had anything by Bose before - but ended up going with them as I like the way the earpiece was designed and it came with three different tips.

The clarity and detail across all the ranges is just freaking incredible. And I was shocked at the bass - just never imagined it could be that good. I really just couldn't be happier. A solid 5 out of 5 stars for me.

It also came with a very nice zippered leather case that is sized exactly to hold the iPod Touch in along with the headset. Perfect for me.

Right at the $100 selling mark at Best Buy.
