best earphones

i need earphones at work, not headphones, but the small kind that fit in your ear. is there a particular must-have out there?

Shure E4C

are they reasonably comfy? I need some that I can wear for like a few hours straight. Things like the ipod earbuds hurt the shit out of my ears after about 10 mins.

i just bought a pair of sennheiser cx 300's

very happy with them, they fit right into your ear and you dont feel like you are wearing headphones, they are cheap too but have fucing awesome sound and anyone who knows their shit knows sennheiser are a quality brand.

kaen stamp of approval

KAEN

kaen always has the answer.

those shures are really comfy, i have a pair. and they totally block out external noise.

i recommend.

is the sound more damaging to your ears in ear canal headphones?

thanks mrx for that helpful link!!

For casual use, I use the JVC Marshmallows in-ear earphones... very comfortable, affordable, and fits snugly in the ear and good bass response. Also blocks out a lot of sound around you due to the foam inserts.

i liked the ipod ones

i'm pretty sure if you're not used to wearing earphones they always get annoying the first day or so that you use them cause it takes your ears a bit to get used to tehm

I just got my kids iPods (a 2GB Nano and a 1GB Shuffle) and I just ordered them each some JVC Marshmallows as the iPod earbuds hurt their ears. Try the Marshmallows - you won't go back.

I have the Shure E3Cs. It took me a bit to get used to them but now I find them very comfortable. They come with a variety of earpieces, so you can pick a size that's good for you, or use the expandable foam ones. Very agreeable. (A bit expensive for a listener maybe? . . I bought them for work.)

btw the 2gen shuffle is possibly the best mp3 player ever. fucking simple and brillaint.

those ipod earphones sound horrible.

Get the sennheiser's off of ebay.

If you're going to pay retail, you might as well just buy something like the V-moda Vibes for 80 bucks.
