Time for a 2009 affordable earphones?

[LaKoi]

Hi guys! This is my first post here, though lurking for a while.

I am in need of a new pair of earphones for my ipod. The original ones basically fell apart in my ear a couple of weeks ago. I am looking for recommendations in the range of 20-50. I prefer earbuds and something that will work for working out. Other than that, I do not have many preferences, though a crisp sound is encouraged.


Any suggestions would be well received. Thanks so much!

go to Amazon

www.Amazon.com I use all the time for reviews and buying decisions - I've recently bought Sony & Panasonic buds based on Amazon.com reviews & btw some pref for the cheaper Panasonics

I have gone that route and read varied reviews as well. I wanted to get a sense of other people's experiences. I was about ready to purchase the Ultimate Ears Metro Fi 170 but a friend mentioned that they were too expensive...so now I am not sure whether they are worth the price or if there are some comparable options already out there that might be cheaper. I guess at this point I am just looking for suggestions and experiences. :-) Thanks for yours!

I want to get a pair of UE Metro 170vi if I knew if the mic supports Skype on the iPod Touch or not... and where to buy them too.

Any earphones with an in-line mic that were made for the iPhone will work equally well with the second-generation iPod touch, so there's no reason this shouldn't include Skype, since the in-line mic is the only way to get audio into the iPod touch.

Note, however, that the first-generation iPod touch does not officially support any audio input capabilities. There are reports of some Dock-Connector based accessories that can be made to work with the 1G iPod touch, but there's definitely no audio input in the headphone port.

Thanks, that's good to know. Now if I can only find a place to buy them.
