best ipod mini headphones/earbudes

[Macromedia]

Whats are the best ipod mini headphones/earbudes for under $150?

 

[Interpol]

Take a look at the Shure E3c's. They're very good phones that don't just work well on the Mini, but any other player you might have.

If you can spend an extra $50 or so, consider the Shure E4c's as well.

its $150 canadian money since i live in Canada so everything cost more money also i heard the grados are good but were can u buy them?

Grado's are available at hi-fi stores. They look like something out of the 1960's.

I bought mine here. $130+taxes shipped (yeah, us Canadians pay a lot more for our Grados)

If you want earbuds, go for the Shure E2C

There are reviews out there that say the SR60's sound better than the 80's. Check them out and possibly save some money.

If you want a Grado headphone and you don't live in the U.S., you should probably get an Alessandro headphone from Alessandro High-End Products' website instead. They are essentially the same thing rebranded, and they cost the same price no matter where you are, whereas Grado headphones are priced exorbitantly high in most countries. Many Head-Fi members prefer Alessandros to their Grado equivalents (MS-1 = SR-125; MS-2 = SR-325), too.

The MS-1 is essentially a SR-125 and sells for $99US. That should still be under your budget when converted to CND.

you guys make sure you get headphones for HIM not for you

what do you listen to

do you want your headphones to block out sound?

do you want open headphones?

do you want them to be portable?

what is your music ripped at?

You may consider the iPod mini matching earbuds which has been reviewed by iPodlounge.

First of all i listen to all types of rock. Heavy metal, classical etc. I would mind headphones that block out sound but I really don't care. I need these headphones to be semi-portable and my music is ripped at 192 kps mp3. So if that helps please post sum good headphones. Also the Alessandro headphones would be 119.99$ cnd

in that case go for grados they were right
grados rock for rock

 

[Macromedia]

Thx everyone. Now to find a place that sells grados or Alessandro.

Hi Macromedia,

If you contact to SF Marketing which is canadian dealer for Shure's products n i think they sell Grado's headphones. they can help you to find local dealer in your area or you can buy directly to SF Marketing...........

 

[warpdrive]

Nobody else sells Alessandro's, they are direct order from their web site. The MS-1 will cost you $150 including Canadian taxes and import fees included.

 

[Macromedia]

Damn. The Alessandros will cost 143.98 and the Grados are 144.98 so it really dosn't matter. Also im getting a 20 gb ipod w/ colour screen in Aug so i need these headphones to work with both ipods

 

[Interpol]

Why wouldn't any headphones work with both iPods?
