i have the gen 1 iPhone but lost my earphones..

looking on the bright side, it's an opportunity to get a better one

But which?? Need Advice Thanks.

I buy the standard earphone for iphone at Sunway Carnival.

satisfied me already

Try look at Apple store @ Malaysia..
Got 1 'In Ear' earpiece with mic that cost RM350..
-In ear handfree is the best for listen to good music and showoff

sad thing is
no matter how good the earphone is, u still cant enjoy the nice music
simply because the output from the iphone itself it's just so so

agreed bro.
but still can listen music.

shure mpa + westone um2/se530/triple.fi 10/....iems
with westone custom mold
definitely u'll love d sound if u upgrade fr stock

nid more?

den u nid a custom cable output from btm to an amp

when u buy all those n use that money to sum up

i get a Zune with a not bad IEM is enuff to pawned all those earpiece n amp u try to improve the sound quality of iphone...

honestly, not worth to invest on those earphone at all
the output is so thin =/ the sound stage =..=
no bass... trebble a bit over...

i try line in to my Aego M n i turn it right off...

can't blame.. they put so much stuff into a slim phone like this, i can expect much for the SQ

thanks guys for the suggestions.. will review each & everyone. much appreciated..

Bose in-ear earphones xD

I am planing to buy the bose in ear earphones for my iphones, anyone using it with iphone? how's the quality? cause since iphone itself the output is no that good

im thinking of buying bose in ear too... but im facinated of the sound of ear-on headset.. adoi... just cant make up my mind!

I'm a current user of the 1st gen Bose in-ear earphones..

Unlike those air-tight earphones, it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable after hours of listening. 3 different sizes of ear buds to suit your ear. I personally like the small leather carrying case included. You should test it out at Atlas before buying.. Retail price about RM380 if I've not mistaken.

Replacement ear buds = RM15, so no worries if it gets dirty =)

the bose headphones in machines are for sale now. those are really good & comfy on ears too

im currently using a cheap one by panasonic.. its quite nice.

TBH not to cut ur guys hype or wat
BOSE product is always overated...
is not tat it's not good
but the price u pay for it, u can get much better qualities....

ur guy can look for Crossroad Mylar, or altec lansing IM716(which i still dunno it's available in Malaysia or not)
Mylar links

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=777271

if ur guys still not satisfy and wanna go higher entry
always got this kinda freaking choice

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=586559


but i know... there's no mic for these...

i wont go and spend so much on the earpiece for iphone...
if i wanna listen good qualities on the go... i rather get myself better MP3 player such as meizu or Microsoft Zune..
then get a decent earpiece...

but still is ur guys preference
i might just get mylar if i got the chance n think shud be decent enough

Added on November 23, 2008, 4:23 ami think david know a lot of these kinda device also
coz he a music producer, sure picky on the sound quality XD

This post has been edited by CooLeRthings: Nov 23 2008, 04:23 AM

I bought it from Amazon.com, USD39.95 + courier chg USD9.95 = USD49.90 (RM179.64 @ USD3.60)...

MUCH MUCH MORE Cheaper, right??

ubought from amazon, or amazon marketplace?

i don't know bout you guys..but the stock phones works well for me with its minimalistic appearance..prefer to be low profile,

and when you are outdoors with a pair of those IEMs or noise canceling or some good phones, remember you are just on the go and the music serves as just a sort of background music for ya and definitely its not for critical listening

while for me critical listening must utilize some big ass phones, albeit a very entry level one
coolerthings should know this hehehe

cool....
now im going for altec lansing or crossroad bijou? any suggestion?

if it is from Amazon then its a bargain. if it is from Amazon marketplace... its not much different than getting it from ebay. lol.

kkekekek, chizzu also paham
i just received a brouchure from bose UK, the in ear selling for 79 pound and special price for sound dock, 149 pound only

i heard they are going to release new earphone which compatible for iphone 2g and 3g..but dunno when will release..

i posted this question in audiophile section and someone recommended Crossroads Bijou M. it is compatible with iphone 2g/3g

but i am not sure where to get it

i almost bought senneheiser CX500 for my iphone from Amazon since it is like so cheap... it was like 3x cheaper than the retail price. later on i only found out that it is most probably some fake china made replica.

My colleague got conned with the bose in ear earphone. it costs only 19 pounds and he tought it was a bargain but the earphone is broken like after a month of usage.

yup , porta pro does not isolate sounds enough, but hey, the music is WAY better than it used to sound. i like to put it to full blast. doesnt seem to be a problem!hehe

i bought 1 from HK (HKD90) will upload pics soon

got someone if u want to.... im going to COD him this weekend.... i'll tell u how it goes....
if ure looking the crossroad bijou at local store or shops, u can forget it... (unless some one here know some shop selling 1)
frm my googling... only lowyat seller selling this sort of IEMs

hope it'll suit my hearing coz im a bit fussy when comes to sounds....

but since the review about the crossroad bijou is good.... i guess im going to try it.

@ g3n0c|d3


you are COD a bose?

no @nokia2003

im CODing to see (buy?) mylar crossroad bijou 3. good review with audiophile tht i know....

why? u wanna the bose in ear? i could arrage for u if u want it...

@ g3n0c|d3

oh what type of arrangements? how much more discount are we talking about her? thanks

cheaper than here... almost less price than malaysia....
i'll PM u

@g3n0c|d3
PM me too ... kinda looking for new earphones. Got the specs/website?

Hi, I would like to share my question here if you don't mind.

My iPhone's headphones was working fine after like 8 months suddenly my right earpiece stop producing sound & I was wondering should I get an alternative or I can fix it by sending it somewhere? [ Anyone have clues for me? ].

Please help me out I sure do love music & love to chat with my friends with handsfree

purchase another unit?


look at my signature *cough cough*

promote ah mr nokia2003? so did u bought the bose in ear? how much over there?

Well I'm looking something good as Apple's Earphones same quality & almost equal price but something besides Apple which is better.

it will take some research to find an earphones designed for the iphone in mind (in terms of microphone and clicker).


even the sennheiser's comes only with the microphone without the clicker.

i am planning to get bijou M for iphone

i do talk using headset quite often as i am walking around. prefer to change music with a click on the mic rather than bringing out the whole iphone

i asked the seller in this forum and they do have stock for bijou M

photos

Intially i wanted to order from jaben.net as they are official crossroads seller in SG. Price is quite reasonable altho it is much higher than bijou earphones

no la. i got the v-moda instead!

Added on December 23, 2008, 3:07 pmalamak... iPhone pun print wrongly (Iphone) on the box/packaging. no sane authorised third party manufacturer for apple will "spell" it that way... ever!



even the auto-correction feature will not do condone such a mistake!

This post has been edited by nokia2003: Dec 23 2008, 03:07 PM

well, i guess they only create the product based on user demand but this piece of IEM is quite desirable in audiophile

LoL..my iPhone earphone just spoiled..
Now dunno what to get man..crap..
And not all earphones can fit the 1st gen iPhone..
I think i will get the Crossroad Bijou..
Anything else?LoL

@ Masamune

you can consider my earphones? LOL!

Added on December 23, 2008, 11:39 pman unflattering picture of the v-moda



This post has been edited by nokia2003: Dec 23 2008, 11:39 PM

V-Moda is it good?
I kinda noob audiophiles..haha..
Can it fit iphone 2G without any adapter?

it looks like it can accommodate. i live around TTDI area and will be more than happy to let you have a "test drive" (subject to my schedule)

How much is V-Moda anyway? Which is more better in terms of overall V-Moda or Apple Headphone's In Ear with clicker & mic? and which is more expensive

Same question as iAce..lol..
But i think apple stock earphones aren't that good..
As i'm using a Sennheiser PX100 i can tell the difference in quality..
But V-Moda might be quite good i suppose..?Or not nokia2003 wont get it..haha

v-moda is rm400-ish.

Eeek Kinda expensive out of my budget any other alternatives, I bought a ciplak Headphones which cost RM 25 which lasted only for a month....... I got SCAMMED/CONNED @ a IT Hypermarket at Cineleisure lol.

ha ha. do you wanna consider mine then? *hint hint*

hoho... v - moda huh? i am satisfied with my bijou.... anyways... there is no point of buying so damn expansive IEM since iphone only have decent sounds.... i guess i'll be sticking to my bijou and going to buy x3i just to add to my collection....

still mr. nokia2003... if u still wanted the bose IEM, u let me know ok? owh i forgot... ure going to aussie.... well u can find them in aussie then...

hahahaha

I am thinking to buy this:

http://store.apple.com/my/product/MA850G/A...&mco=MzAyNjY0OQ

Though the volume control does not work with iPhone but i think overall the features are quite good.

Any comments?

Pss do you have A Bose headphones with mic & clicker?

My earphones that came with the Iphone 2g is faulty. The right headphone is not working properly, the output sound is not as loud as it should be. And the left headphone is working wonders.

Where can i buy the headphone with microphone for the iPhone, please advise.

Get the apple in ear headphones la..
Even though volume doesn't work but the microphone and clicker still works..

how about Sony EX Monitor Headphones? link http://www.sony.com.my/product/mdr-ex500sl

What are your thoughts?

IMHO, it is quite troublesome to take out the unit from my pocket each time i wanna change the track without the clicker

true2.... its quite troublesome.... but i wont mind coz i have too much time now to set which is which in my on the go at the ipod...
so no more changing the song for me!

If not mistaken ... Bose IEM don't have for iPhone as in with mic n clicker (almost bought one last nite at machine OU). Now i'm considering the new apple in ear headphones as the price is almost the same. Now reading review about it.

taking orders now for anyone who needs anything from melbourne, australia. will try to help iphone peeps in LYN. however this is subjected to my availability and schedule.


leaving on the 8th of jan and coming back in a week's time.

the apple in ear phones get good reviews.... anyways.... for mic got extension set for the headsets and iems....
any how... cant guarantee the quality thou.... (i saw belkin extentsion mic for earphones at machines in mid valley)

@g3n0c|d3
Been reading few reviews and both Bose and Apple IEM did not come to par in sound quality. The apple in-ear is still in my cart, not yet checked out. So undecided.

@frozz
if you're looking for IEMs, i would recommend u to go for Shure, these little guyz pack a punch

So as the price ... a real punch to the wallet. Hahahaha. I'm looking for a good pair of headphones dat doubles as a handsfree since I travel a lot. Bluetooth (mcm langsi saja) is not an option as I listen to the ipod while driving (which is not recommended if using IEMs and so is SMSing while driving ).

guys, is this Bose earphone any good? http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_o...hones/index.jsp

Is anyone try the brand new Apple in-ear earphone?

Monster Beats Tour In-Ear Headphones by Dr. Dre ($150)

http://www.beatsbydre.com/

Beats Tour is pitched as well-suited to “hip hop, rock, and R&B,” with especially powerful, distortion-free bass. A note from Dr. Dre on the back of Tour’s box says that the new canalphones will let you hear music the way artists and Dre hear it: with the “bass, the detail, the dynamics” found in his studio. And Monster has come up with a novel-looking design, too.

The Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10vi Earphones are available now and sell for $420.

i been reading plenty of review from the internet...so far i know it has great sound....but has really poor base.

well if ure all into sounds now, i suggest u can go to the audiophile section... i got loads of detail over there....
as for the click-to-change-music option... better off with apple in ear...

@frozzbyte
bose in-ear is really good i have to say.. but the price is over the edge a bit.. u should consider something else bro...

u shouldnt wear IEM when driving ah? aiyo... thts wht i always do....
hohoho...

i got the crossroads bijou M and it comes with the clicker and mic just like iphone headset. kinda handy to change track

overall performance is great. quite bassy and much better than the apple earphone. i tested it againse senneheiser px 100 and it sounds better than the headphone. i dont know how 2 describe as i am not into audiophile but overall i am quite satisfied.

big thumbs up for the clicker and the mic since i travel by train alot it really comes in handy as i dont really want to show my iphone to public

Psps where did you bought ur Bijou-M? How much does it cost? Do you have a photo of it please share. Mybe I'll get one of it if it is good.

the 3G headset should be able to use for 2G iphone, can anyone help confirm this?


thanks... i need to know before i buy the 3G headset...hehe....

Which headset? You mean the earphones?

Ohh..nokia2003 sudah answer.

I am quite busy these few days so will post photos when i am free (prolly 1st Jan ) i guess i need 2 burn in more for the earphone...

Added on December 31, 2008, 4:53 pmburn baby burn.... bijou is one tough cookie to burn... i have to burn like 100++hours to see the result.... and its worth it....

I just ordered Zagg ear buds ( http://www.zagg.com/audio/zbuds-iphone-earbuds.php ) , I choose the red color

Currently Zagg is having 30% off storewide, 31st Dec is the last day. Total cost after 30% off + shipping is USD55.84





Attached thumbnail(s)

image if Bijou-M, the clicker is quite big and sometimes it is quite heavy and drag my earphone down. but the clip will solve the problem

If you can drop by Jaben at Singapore you can test it i am not sure if yuheng and wallabies provide testing or not.

This baby needs more burn!!

so there is no cheap affordable in-ear earphones with mic... sad
just burned my cash for sennheiser pc350 g4me

go for the stock apple laa... only rm119 what? hahahahaha

how different is bijou m to mylar x3i?

bijou m got mic (and clicker?).... mylar x3i is older 1... i heard discontiuned already.... if u got.. can give to me lar... hahahahaha been looking for x3i quite sometimes now

For music enthusiast, this would be good for iPhone users and iPod as well.

Ultimate Ears has introduced its new MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 Earphones. Both new earphones feature a single-driver, in-ear design, with the 220 featuring a titanium-coated speaker for more detail in the higher frequencies compared to the 170. In addition, both earphones feature a red-colored right earphone to help distinguish between left and right buds, and include three sizes of silicone ear cushions, as well as a carrying case. For iPhone and Fall 2008 iPod users, both the 170 and 220 will be available in vi models featuring an integrated microphone for calls and remote button for call management and basic playback control. Ultimate Ears’ MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 Earphones will be available in February for $50 and $80, respectively; the vi models will sell for $10 more.
