Sennheiser CX 500
It seems that every MP3 player on the market today comes bundled with less than average sounding earphones. The iPod is certainly no exception. Really, the first thing you should be doing when you buy a new iPod, is buying a pair of decent sounding earphones. The CX 500’s are certainly decent sounding, and at a more than reasonable price mark, certainly an option for anyone in the market for a set of earphones. The CX 500’s certainly live up to the Sennheiser name, with excellent overall sound quality and superb lows, as well as a good, comfortable design. Sadly, the CX 500’s don’t have iPod/iPhone playback control, but for the price, there is no doubt that they are excellent value.
V-Moda Vibe II Duo
V-Moda is a company renowned for their beautifully designed and sounding earphones. It’s latest creation is the Vibe II Duo, the sequel to one of the best selling (and rightfully so) iPhone earphones. It’s solid metal casing gives the user a feel of comfort and quality, at the same time providing great acoustics. Included in the box is a bucketload of accessories: 4 different sized silicon tips in two colours (total of eight pairs), ear clips to allow an alternate method to wear them, a cable tidy clip and a carry case. The headphones have two metal protrusions on the fabric covered cable, one with a large rubber button to control playback, voice control (iPhone only) and call control (obviously iPhone only). The other protrusion is on the right earphone cable, a small though sensitive (maybe even overly so) microphone. The microphones call quality matches that of the iPhone Apple Headset which isn’t exactly a great thing given the price.
