643550 2008-02-25 23:41:00 I've found that my earbud headphones that came with my mp3 player are getting quite uncomfortable when I have them in for more than 10 minutes. I've got some big old style headphones that are quite comfortable, but not very practical because of their size.


Will all earbuds hurt my ears, or are some brands more comfortable?

Take these (www.shure.com) for instance.

643552 2008-02-26 00:40:00 Greven - I can personally recommend Skullcandy's Smokin' Buds - you can get them off Trade Me for $40 delivered, and they come with 3 different-sized ear pieces to suit. . .Gotta love that name too!! :D

The Sennheiser ones are pretty good too by all accounts.

643558 2008-02-26 07:42:00 I have used the Sennheiser CX300, they are very easily found inNZ and are about $70. They are excellent in ear phones, good bass and everything.

Sennheiser have some new model in ear's out now - i think they have increased their range to 3, but i am yet to find them in NZ.

Creative has a pair too - the EP630's or something, they are basically the same as the CX300 - there are reports that say they are the same and reports that state that they lack metal drivers of the CX300's , but none the less, they are about $30 cheaper.
