Good alternative to the headphones that come with the iPhone [Posted on 2008-04-30]
For months, I've been looking for a good alternative to the Apple headphones. This was one of the first alternatives available (and only 10 months after the iPhone was released!), so I ordered a pair. I was looking for slightly better sound quality than the Apple ear buds(in particular, better bass response), and headphones that would stick in my ears (so I could wear them in the gym). Currently, this is a unique product: there isn't any other pair of earphones for the iPhone available for $40. I'm happy with my purchase.
The audio quality is acceptable. There is more bass than the Apple ear buds, though they are not very balanced or detailed. (I had to set the EQ to "bass reducer" and they were still a little too bassy for my taste.) The cables are made of a woven material, which makes them a little less slippery than standard wires. Finally, the microphone/button seems functional (no one has complained about the quality when I spoke to them through the headset). The replaceable silicone ear pads are a nice touch; they're comfortable, easy to clean, and do a good job blocking out ambient noise.
In short, I'd recommend these headphones to anyone looking for better audio than the stock apple ear buds, needs a built-in microphone, and doesn't want to spend a lot of money.
Great iPhone specific headphones [Posted on 2008-05-21]
These headphones are great. They have all the functionally of the Apple headphones but much better sound and are much more comfortable. The noise reduction is great, allowing you to listen to music at a lower volume and still hear it. Lastly, the nylon weaving on the cables gives them a really cool feeling and makes them seem sturdier.
Much better than the OEM earbuds [Posted on 2008-06-23]
We got two iPhones, and from day one we were furious with the design of the earbuds supplied with them. Unless your ears are of a very specific shape, it is almost impossible to keep the original earbuds into position. Lying down with these is almost impossible, and I like to fall asleep listening to music.
Since I have been using iPods for years I thought who cares? I'll just get a pair of whatever Sony or Philips sells as the equivalent.
No dice. There was no such thing. If you don't like the earbuds in your classic iPod, you have thousands of replacements to choose from. If you have an iPhone, it's not the same since it has a microphone/button and the plug base is much narrower.
The only replacements that would work with the iPhone were very high end, close to $100. I was not ready to put 25% of the cost of the phone for earbuds.
Eventually I found the Griffin Tunebuds. They were the right price, and I have purchased Griffin products in the past so I was familiar with the brand.
What I like: three pairs of ear pads, which means you can find a much better fit. In my case I can use two of the three pairs just fine. The difference is amazing.
The cable is covered with a very tough fiber weave, so it is much harder to break the cables accidentally. The microphone/button works exactly as the original. I also like that they are black, since I don't like to advertise that I am listening to an iPod/iPhone.
What I don't like: Once I am out of earpads, I have to call Griffin, these are no longer available through their website.
