They don't stay in! I like to listen to Jazz while I mow the lawn (and dance with the lawnmower) but I can't with those earbuds. I need new ones.

Currently using Phillips crap that you get with your crap CD player.

Put the little fabric covers on them. I've had my iPod since December and I like those things a lot. They've never slipped out.

You dance with your lawnmower? I race mine occasionally. It always wins. It finishes like 2 feet in front of me. Irritating.

I'll get it eventually.

msbrunnettemickey · 05-2-2005, 04:15 PM

I have those.. Zen is the best (even the mp3 players)

They are working GREAT!

The_Q · 05-2-2005, 04:16 PM

No, I'm Mexican. I love the lawnmower. I dance with it because it enjoys dancing. I can't dance though. Doesn't stop me.

I've got Sony MDR-V700's. I use them for DJ'ing, but recently been using them for my comp because my shitty speakers get radio interference

They are good, but $130 bucks. Go with the ones Chardish and Moogy told you to go with.

I hate to say it, but it is true. It's kind of sad that duct tape is the only thing keeping my hella expensive Bose headphones from falling apart. Although they are still extremely comfortable and the sound quality is still excellent.

**Moogy** · 05-2-2005, 04:24 PM

Heh, my dad has some Sennheisers from 1970~ that still work. His Bose ones from a few years ago broke in like a month.

banditcom · 05-2-2005, 05:49 PM

Best earbuds you can get, next to their more expensive brothers.

Great Sennheisers for cheaper than other ones. More compact too.

Those Bose headphones Anti pictured are GREAT (I've listened to them before), but they're $300. Bose offers the best sound equipment you can buy, but it's way way way overpriced.

Hey guys.

On the contrary, those are some of the best priced headphones for their quality that you'll EVER FIND. Every single review I've read has mentioned the exceptional pricing of the Triports. I'd say you were thinking of the Quietcomfort 2's, Bose's most famous and bestselling headphones, except those are only $220. I've commonly seen those being compared to $4/500 Sennheisers, IMO.

I have heard complaints about the weak construction on the Triports, though. I've had mine for about three months now with no problems, as well as a one year included service plan if there are any, but yeah, I'll hand that one to you. Just don't be an idiot with 'em, I guess.

I have these ones, great sound and can plug it into stereo's as well.

I've got some Altec Lansings that are working great.

The only problem I've had is when I'm wearing a fleece jacket. The static builds up and shocks my ears every so often. It never did that with any other headphones I've had.

That cant be good....

**jimerax** · 05-2-2005, 08:13 PM

HD650 definitely owns.

DataXUnknown · 05-2-2005, 09:25 PM

I have some Sennheiser HD-244 they work perfect. Very low price too. HD-650? I have no idea what kind of crazyness that brings but sounds good to me...haha. Probably expensive.

Just go with Sennheiser. Germans know how to make some badass headphones, and cars for that sort too. =) (Yes I am 50% German)

They attract a bit of attention, so do not take them off at full volume in public.

**Moogy** · 05-3-2005, 04:06 AM

Oh yes, I should probably mention that Sennheisers are extremely, extremely loud and you cannot change the volume of the 'phones themselves. You need to use the volume control on your media player.

DataXUnknown · 05-3-2005, 09:19 PM

Exactly. Hints "Attracts a lot of attention"

My CD Player went off during the state testing. Pure quiet, all of a sudden, the theme song to twisted metal 3 which is I believe sung by Rob Zombie, comes on. What a time that was. It took me awhile to get it off. Extremely loud indeed.

tnyhwk900 · 05-4-2005, 01:28 PM

I wish I could afford the Triports. My cousin's boyfriend has them, and they are so unbelievably good. Any use of text to describe their level of awesome does them injustice. But seeing as how I am now exhausted of money from the recent purchase of my PSP, I won't be getting them for a while.
