Default ipod earphones....

SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally dropped $100 on in-ear Sony noise canceling earphones that got a lot of praise of a travel blog. I never realized how much the ones that comes with iPods blow.

I thought you'd asked about headphones a while back.. :thinking:

Anyway, you're right. I use my Sennheiser HD280s whenever possible.

I was looking at the HD202's but i have a big head 7 3/4 plus i wear glasses and i hear they are very tight on the head. I'm probaby just going to go with some in the ear buds

All of them are designed to fit tightly, it's why the noise isolation is so good.
Believe me, after owning almost all the competitors, the tighter fit is worth it. h:

I need new headphones. I tried listening to my ipod while mowing the lawn yesterday and it really sucked. I could barely hear anything or I had to turn the volume way up and it started to give me a headache.
