| 690377 | 2008-07-25 10:39:00 | I didn't say that Sony headphones are bad. I have another pair of Sony in ear buds which sound wonderful, a pair of Sony sports style phones - great as well. What I mean't is - It all depends on your ears. I am old and a pair of million dollar phones might sound crap, whereas a pair of $20 may sound good. My mate bought a pair of Bose phones, cost a fortune, around $600. He loves them. I tried them but I hate them. Far to much bass. See what I mean? Ken Normally young people dont know how to listen to music.They think if the headphone or earphone has alot of bass its a extremeley good earphone/headphone . For me being 23 too much bass is not good.It covers the rest of the instrument at the back and all you hear is a thumping bass sound.Waste of money if you ask me. |

| 690379 | 2008-07-25 13:59:00 | Bought some Griffin EarThumps (think they are called Tunebuds now) a while back, found them to be quite good. Yeah that's what I got - a vast improvement over the iPod ones - for $70. I think replacement white iPod ones are $60 so the Tunebuds are very good value (or perhaps anything Apple just isn't...) |

| 690380 | 2008-07-25 18:01:00 | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Celine Dion has never sounded so good!! :p Rich, warm bass, tight mid-range, and crisp highs, not to mention comfortable, and well constructed FTW!! :thumbs: I'll buy the "well constructed" part about Celine, but as far as using her for a bellwether for sound and quality . . . eh, so-so . . . . . . . . she WAS good . . . no make that . . . . GREAT a few yarns ago . . . but not today . Now . . try that with Luciano and get a REAL thrill . Even though he's assumed room temperature, his old recordings cannot be held the sacred candle to . Right Yoda? |

| 690381 | 2008-07-26 06:06:00 | As far as I'm concerned Celine Dion IS the devil incarnate - she'll have horn stumps for sure, and no doubt will have 666 tattooed on her body somewhere. :yuck: |

And now I am going to sleep (-7 GMT here) and try to NOT think of exploring her for that 666 tattoo. |

I think replacement white iPod ones are $60 so the Tunebuds are very good value (or perhaps anything Apple just isn't...) Can't you buy an ipod shuffle for about $75 which comes with the headphones, so how could the headphones by themselves be $60, which would make the shuffle cost only $15. Are apple ripping us off or something on the headphones?. |

Usual retail lark I guess. |
