Earphones for R200

[cerebus]

Can anyone recommend me a pair? Let's say R200 is really a maximum budget - no suggestions of well if you just chip in another R50 you could get these In-ear is best.
Thanks

Hi cerebus

I bought a pair of Aerial 7 in ear phones for my iphone a couple of months ago at Look and Listen. They are great, excellent sound quality and very comfortable. The ones I bought were for an iphone I think but they do sell other ones. They also come in funky colours.

They are also pretty cheap

Nice...

how about the Skullcandy Ink'd - any thoughts?

 

[Reaper84]

I tried to do some internet investigations and look at reviews and a couple of the pages I found said that the skullcandy wasn't as great as these were in build quality wise. I haven't tried the skullcandy but I am really pleased with the aerial 7 ones, they even include a small pouch for storing them when not in use.

Ok cool - I see a few places stock them. Maybe i'll give them a whirl thanks.

Earphones hurts your ears after a long while

 

[cerebus]

Meh I don't care, I use earphones for probably at least an hour every day. I listen to a ton of messages and stuff. Headphones don't work for the gym really.

Have a look at look n listen. I bought a pair of earphones with a mic for my Iphone for about R200. They work really well. iFrogz is whats on the set I have, the box is at home. I think the normal ones where about R150.

You mean buds right?

These are the ones I got.

 

[cerebus]

Thanks madmann Buds yeah.

Madman did those also have the button on them to skip/pause the music etc?

If the silicon cups hurt your ears, think about getting some Comply Foams for them. http://www.complyfoam.com/ Buy a pack of 5 and not the grey ones.

Yes, and they are a real comfy fit for me, much nicer sound than the ones I got with the iPhone.

Those subways look cool too.

 

[cerebus]

Any views on these then? http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/85220/

I've never tried these earphones before, but every other Sennheiser product I've used has been brilliant.

Those Sennheisers are buds and not IEMs.

 

[cerebus]

Oh my last iem's were sennheisers - thanks I didn't know I'd find a sub-R300 pair

buds are fine with me So long I can use them in the gym.

Looking at the reviews those sennheisers seem to be a winner.

lol i know it was probably fluke but a R150 pair i bought at Look and Listen were too tinny so while i was at Bruma i bought a no name brand for R35 . the quality of the cheapies is way better than the Look and Listen pair.maybe i got duds...i dont know

Some decent Philips ones at Incredible Connection.

Ok so it's down to the sennheiser mx-50 vs the aerial 7 bullet shade: http://www.fourthfloor.co.za/pA7-BULLET-SHADE/Aerial7-Bullet-Shade.aspx

Any opinions between them?

 

[cerebus]

Ok it's that time of the year again....the old buds are dead, new buds need to be bought.
Narrowed down to 3 choices:
Dubiously named 'Smokin Buds'
Aerial 7 Sumo's WITH MIC
Griffin Tunebuds

Gentlemen, votes!
