Best in ear headphones?

If you hear from Turbines Coppers you have a Problem....:P
Btw they're worth the 80$, but why to buy 2 headphones? Buy the coopers for $150.
 





Well if you are thinking like that, I shouldn't have bought the jamz because I have a pair of sennheiser CX 200s that I love. I shouldn't have gotten the jamz lmao
 
Yeah contact them...see what they have to say.
In the mean time, can you tell me more about the sound?:)
 
I use a pair of Etymōtic ER-4p earphones and they work good for me. Very precise sound, and their noise blocking really helps. I can drop the volume of my DAP to -35 to -40 dB usually. I tried some Shure earbuds but they were too boomy for my tastes; however, those weren't super high-end.

Avoid noise cancellation if you can, like those crappy Bose headphones they sell in magazines. That is just introducing noise to try and cancel noise, and can only do so much as the noise is usually omnidirectional.

What I don't like about the ER-4p's is that their tiny replaceable membrane filters are quite expensive ($2 ea if I recall); so try to preserve them if you can. The tri-flange covers also don't fit my ears perfectly, but I have a smaller ear canal than a lot of people.

Overall, I've never felt any need to replace them after 5-7 year, and they sound great on my iRiver H140 with Rockbox (turn on cross-feed too). Good one-time investment.

I Don't call them tri-flange. I call them butt plug pieces. And they hurt to shove in your ears.
Borg, I really like the sound of the phones. The whole range is present and mixed perfectly. Bass is there and you can feel it, all while enjoying the highs and mids. When someone talks in a song, I look up and see who is in the room talking to me :foreveralone: lmao
It sounds so real.

EDIT: dont cheat off my homework in those pics :P

Nice. Are you a bit handy in electronics/ general stuff? If the can drops out is the only problem maybe you can slighlty put some good glue on the can then shove it back in its "base"?
Might be all their refurbished ones have problems. The guy from monster said to me that the refurbished ones always got a technical check before shipment. Yeah right....
Well there's always the chance that the post shipment process did this to the earphones but i doubt it.

Active noise cancelling works very well for me. I have the top-of-the-line nokia headphone wich is made by sennheiser. The bh-905i with active noise camcelling and it works well. Imalso have digital silence inearphones and there the active noose cancelling also works well. It can be best used in the car. The sound of the engines and windows open simply disappear 90% or so.

I could but I really don't feel comfortable doing that with this nice of a product. Also, it is still under warranty so why not? I just get scared that I am going to break it :/
 
Okay try to replace it then...
I just dont think those guys can work fast:(
Send back 2 days, check out 2 days, send replacement 2 days^^

Oh they do seem to suppress noise, but that doesn't mean they're not also introducing some in the process. It's impossible to avoid because you're not dealing with a single source of noise, nor direction. Hell, you can even hear the noise it generates when there is no audio signal. Furthermore, now your speakers have to work extra hard to produce sound for both your audio and the noise it's cancelling--rather than just for the audio.

I'd rather have the money spent improving what I want to hear, rather than trying to actively cancelling out what I don't. Better to have the sound blocked or attenuated outright. Then there's little or no noise to bother cancelling out.

But hey, if it works for you, to each his own.

Aw well you didnt cause the problem:) i think calling them will result in "if you bought them our ebay store, then ask for replacement at our ebay store".

Let me know anyway, and if you can ask how fast the process goes, that would be great:) If the warrenty of them is really good they send a new set while this one is underway to them.

I gotta say. These are terrible for running. You can hear the cord yanking from your inner ear.

Also, idk if it is my low quality music or if it is the noise cancellation but I can hear fuzzing at low parts of the songs. Goes away when it gets louder
