Clip-On Earphones

Gesiwuj · Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 4:45 pm Post subject: Clip-On Earphones

The main thing stopping me getting an iPod is that standard earbuds (like the ones on the normal iPod) don't fit in my ears (because they're weird Very Happy

).

Luckily my current MP3 player comes with clip-on headphone type things with little hooks that go around the ears.

I was wondering if there any Apple-style clip-ons available...

Thanks

Why not just use the ones that your current MP3 player came with that you like?

I don't have a pair, but I've heard the new iPod earbuds are better than the old ones. Personally, I'm a big fan of Sennheiser headphones (I use the PX100's). Their MX 500 earbuds seem to get good reviews. They are said to be on the smaller size and come in white. They ain't clip-ons, but you may want to take a look-see.

i've got the same problem

my left side inner ear is larger than my right side, so i end up having to constantly re-insert the left side earbud

The problem is that they just won't fit in my ears... so I don't really want to walk around holding them in. My friend, intrigued at this dilemna compared my ear to a normal ear that earbuds fit in, and came to the conclusion that there was a small piece of cartilige missing in my ears for some reason. My father and sister have the same problem, so I assume it's something genetic.

My current MP3 player's headphones are on their last legs and use a weird sort of socket (looks kinda like the ones for mobile phones); so I couldn't use them on an iPod if I got one.

The main point is that I can't find any of these headphones that would work in an iPod...

I know, but the only headphones that I've seen like that are the ones with the weird socket-type Sad

It's one of those weird ones like you get on mobile "cell" phones.

I think that the best earbuds out there are the Sony MDR-EX51LP, I bought these because my iPod earbuds died after one year of use.... anyways i love these earbuds because they are kind of sound isolating because when I have them on i hear the music and not the exterior noise... so... 100% recommended;)

I got the Creative Aurvana in-ear headphones for xmas and I absolutly love them. They come with different size end pieces(i have the same problem you do). They also come with a case and cleaner. I would totally reccomend them for your problem
