*iPod* Recommended Headphones?


Recommended Posts

Hmm, maybe I'll have to get a black iPod Case then, lol. I have black sony's now, but they hurt my ears after an hour or so.

Which Sony's do you have? A cheap solution, from Sony, are the v150's. If you want even more sound for the price, look at Koss.

You want a white headphone? :/

The Sony MDR-EX71 comes in white and it's a great earbud.

I dunno about headphones, read up here and see what they recommend: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/index.php? .

Sennheiser PX200, Sony Eggos, Koss PortaPro (I own these, it broke... but it was awesome while it still worked), Grado SR series, Senn HD series just to name some. Different headphones are suited for different tastes. Your best bet is to actually try out the headphone before you buy it.

You should note that iPod won't be able to drive more powerful headphones, so you might want to consider investing in a portable amp as well.

Why not earbuds though? Big headphones kind of destroy one of iPod great sides, portability.

earbuds don't work in my ears, the apple ones hurt, and they just fall out, i don't know if i'm doing something wrong, or they just don't fit?

Youre not alone. You should try other earphones though. Apple In-Ears, Shure E2c, Sony MDREX71SL.

The EX71 comes with 3 different silicon tips (s,m,l), so one of them ought to fit. From what I've heard, the EX51/71s are the most comfortable earbuds/headphones out there. Once they're in, you won't feel them.

The EX71 is a really good compliment for the iPod. It is unmatched in its range when it comes to bass, so that makes up for the pathetic bass/EQ settings of the iPod.

If you're not using a remote, also consider the Sharp MD33. It has better overall sound quality, but the total cord length adds up to ~1.5m.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
    • Source and more 35 years old?! And if my maths is mathing, that means she was around 10 when The Ring came out?! Damn...scariest 10 year old I think I've ever seen.
