I'm looking for a decent set of headphones and found those :

http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2i_headset


And they should be compatible with an iPhone as well.


Any suggestions ?

Ya, stay away from Bose. Anyone in the audio community knows better than to buy their overpriced crap. They were good back when they had no competition. Now they're still using the same methods back then as they are now which aren't up to par for what you pay.

Klipsch and Polk audio both make earphones which are better. Also it's not worth paying that much for earbuds since the frequency range is extremely limited to the size of the speaker. So paying that much is unwarranted.

Yeah Bose are the Monster cable of audio equipment. I've have a pair of Sennheiser headphones that I love.


Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one

Thank you so much for that link, unfortunately most of those 100-150 $ headphones are not available in Romania Sad

Dang. I would join up at Head-Fi, give them your price range, let them know where you live and where you can order from and they'll get you sorted Smile Or overclock.net and look into the audio part of the forum

Head-Fi is really the best place to ask. Just keep in mind that the people there tend to get anal over details (like the Westone 4 vs Shure SE535 discussions), don't take every exaggeration seriously.
