I tend to find that how the sounds are amplified is much more important than their source - a rubbish guitar through a great amp sounds better than vice versa, and same goes for music players I reckon. As long as your music&#39;s at a decent bitrate the headphones are always going to be more important.Ian McKeehttp://flavors.com/IanMcKeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481149350639936897.post-56264726409517193612012-03-27T12:40:33.435+01:002012-03-27T12:40:33.435+01:00They are bloody awful, and I have been saying so for years http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/apr/27/comment.comment?INTCMP=SRCH - not least because they leak sound and annoy the fuck out of everyone else on the Tube.Kate Bevanhttp://geek.katebevan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481149350639936897.post-71357097693500075262012-03-27T12:11:53.183+01:002012-03-27T12:11:53.183+01:00Excellent question. How about this?<br />http://www.zzounds.com/item--SNYPCMM1<br /><br />To be honest, as part of a personal project just over a year ago I spent a couple of weeks with a Discman and my old pair of Sony monitor headphones. I was completely blown away by the sound quality I got from two pieces of 1998 technology.<br /><br />Here&#39;s the blog post about it. http://1998project.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/day-three-1998-chooooooon.html<br /><br />I&#39;m still shocked at how good the sound was compared to today&#39;s devices / relentless compression.Jon Silkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284954287879135110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481149350639936897.post-24221186973193470942012-03-27T12:06:55.982+01:002012-03-27T12:06:55.982+01:00Hmm...<br /><br />I cycle to work and have considered using my Apple headphones for that as you can hear what&#39;s going on around you, but unfortunately they also make the music sound so abominably awful that I can&#39;t do it. I choose no music over music from those monstrosities. They also fit terribly, I feel like I am sticking small sharp opened tin cans into my ears. I realise that&#39;s going to be a personal thing, different people have different shape/size ears, but at least with the Sennheiser in ears you can choose a (soft, rubber) ear bud size that suits you.<br /><br />I&#39;m a shameless Apple fan boy, but their earphones are the one thing that are absolutely not a design classic. There&#39;s only one reason Apple sells them - they&#39;re cheap and they can get away with it. <br /><br />Intrigued by your comment about sonic purists shouldn&#39;t be listening to music on a phone too... Not that I&#39;m arguing an iPhone is as good sound quality as a pure valve hi fi stack, but you can&#39;t carry one of those around in your pocket. What are you supposed to listen to music on when on the go if you&#39;re a full on audiophile?

I have decided that there must be a handful of people on this planet for whom the headphones were actually designed for. <br /><br />But, if you&#39;re like me and your ear canals are smaller than Mr Jobs then the Apple ear buds are the most exquisite torture devices known to man.Tac Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15378868198109317740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481149350639936897.post-7303146031472030782012-03-27T10:33:33.588+01:002012-03-27T10:33:33.588+01:00Personally being forced to remove earphones when having a conversation is a good thing.
