Anyone have a recommendation for a good pair of noise-canceling/reducing earbuds for an iPod? My price point is between $50 - $100.
I have a pair of noise-canceling headphones, but space/weight is a premium on my upcoming trip, so I'd like to try earbuds. Thanks in advance!
I have a pair of JVC earbuds I use with my IPod when traveling. They are very comfortable and I hear nothing but the music. I think they cost about $40.00 at Staples.
I like Shure E2C Sound Isolating Earphones from Apple $99.95. Earbuds don't fit me well and my ears ache from using the regular ones that came with the iPod. These use something like earplugs that machine workers or shooters use. The foam forms to your ears. Comfort and great sound.
There is an article in today's New York Times about these in the Technology section. I still haven't read it closely yet (need coffee, lots of coffee), but it might have some useful information for you. You can read it online at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/14/technology/14pogue.html?ex=1339473600&en=f761b5e1dfca32c1&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
I hope this helps.
Thanks everyone - I'm leaning towards the Shure brand because of the many good Amazon reviews.
I have a pair of the Shure E3C Earbuds and they are the absolute BEST! They also have 4-5 different ear bud attachments that go in your ear for different ear sizes and comfort levels. I got mine for $130 from Amazon and my husband loved them so much I had to get him a pair also. I wear mine everyday and recommend them to everyone!
Looks like I'll do either the Shure e2c or e3c model. I'm leaning towards the e3c's based on the good reviews, but they are a bit spendy...
Thanks everyone - I went ahead and got the Shure e3c earphones.
