If your just after good sound and aren't looking for something with a built in microphone, Bose makes a really grate set of over the ear phones for two hundred. They come with both a short and a long cable with the standard 3.5 Mm plugs which connect to a short about 2 inches long cable coming out of the left ear cup. The cables can be connected together to make a long cable. These phones are made for portable players as well as iPhones. The phones fold to a compact size and come with a nice zippered case. They are light-weight and you can wear them for hours with no discomfort or sweating. The cable that comes out of the left ear cup is thicker and should pose no problems as it is made to support the dead weight of all the cables. The cables act as an antenna for use with iPods with a radio. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPod Nano fifth generation. The phones work well with the Nano's FM radio.
These are very good phones if your a keyboard player and your recording your performances to a digital recorder and need to hear the balance and bass content to get your mix just the right way. The ear buds are very good but they aren't a match for the ear phones which as I said are made for use with iPhones and iPads. The model numbers change but the price remains the same and you can tell by the description if these are the right ones because it says their made for use with iPhones and iPads and other music players. In my opinion, you would have to look pretty hard to find another set of phones that offer grate comfort and even better sound. ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Werner To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 1:32 PM Subject: Re: good earbud headphones recommendation Eric is right. The Bose headset is very comfortable, an the audio quality is excellent. The bass isn't boomy, and the treble isn't peaky. The set comes with medium-sized covers already mounted and includes small and large covers. The little headphones do not penetrate deeply into the ear canal. The complete model number for the in-line microphone and remote version is MIE2i. Craig On 5/14/13, Eric <sseri...@gmail.com> wrote: > They cost more, but in this case they are worth more.
