I just bought some Klipsch Image S4 headphones. They are amazing. Possibly the best headphones I have owned. I have a question though...Do in your ear canal headphones make you go deaf faster than regular headphones/earbuds?? Have there been other problems in y'alls experience?
I've been using them for about 5 to 6 years now, my hearing hasn't been negatively affected at all, but keep in mind, don't blast it too loud and don't listen for long periods of times (hours on end) and you'll be able to enjoy them without any detriment to your hearing.
<br> I can understand that with earbuds, but the in canal ones? They're so far in!! You must have jacked up ears
I guess the ones i got were really cheaply designed...picked them up cause the ear buds wouldn't stay playing basketball so maybe if i got a better quality one I wouldn't have that problem. Or like you said jacked up ears haha
You probably haven't found the right size tips if they are falling out. A great budget IEM is the Meelectronics AI-M9. I purchased one a few weeks ago and they are a major improvement over the ones I had previously as well as the iPod earphones.
Is this a problem with all headphones? Ive had that problem with several apple sets, but i figured it was just poor quality on their part.
As far as I know, they should be fine as long as you listen at a reasonable volume. Does anyone know of some high quality earbuds? I can't stand the IEM style, but it seems that they're everywhere these days. I just want some regular old earbuds.
I don't think any type of headphone will make you go deaf, as long as you don't blast the music too loud. I also have been using the S4 headphones for about a month now. While I do like the S4's, I prefer my Grado SR80 over-the-hear headphones. However, the S4's are very comfortable and convenient and I would recommend for an in-ear headphone.
I used these for a while: Didn't like it. It would rarely fit (though when it does it works well aside from lack of bass) and too much wax gunk... Gonna buy me some over-ear headphones next time, portability be damned.
<br> Yeah, I personally love the over the ear ones as well. These are more for when I'm out in public or doing other activities and I don't want a bulky headset on. I still think very good full sized headphones are the best you can get, especially for using with video or while recording music.
i have a pair of earbuds that have treated me well for about 4 years now. i dont remember the exact model, but they're sony fontopias and deliver the best bass i've heard from in ears below $50. i have recommended them to a few people but they have all complained that the earbuds don't fit snugly enough in their ears. i mainly use for blocking out noise at work/school, though, so not too sure on how they work for working out...
Yuin PK1 - they are like IEM in sound and clarity, but are just earbuds. If you want to go cheaper, skip the 2's and go for the PK3. Not nearly as good as the 1's, but they are the best earbuds for the price in overall balance and "fun" factor. I had some annoying Shure IEMs for a while (I think they were the EC2's or something like that...been a while) but they broke. I also have the Yuins, Senn PX100's for small over the ear, Audio-Technica ATH-AD700s for bigger and am currently deciding between AKG K701s, Audio Technica ATH-M50s, and (drool..but unlikely) Sennheiser HD800s for reference listening.
that's more of a user end problem I have both a shure and sennheiser earbud headphones and liked both.
Your best choice for wireless would be Sleek Audio as they probably come the closest to looking like buds. The good thing is that the wireless transmitter is detachable and you can connect a pair of cables for stationary listening.
i have one of those shures too, didnt like it at first, but then i decided to buy a different kind of tip. it looks kinda like a chritsmas tree if u hold it up. fits so easily, n u can barely feel it in ur ear. it does stick out quite far from ur ears though. the normal tips fit well on my right but never stays plugged in my left.
