Would you recommend these for walking, going on the bus?? I'm looking for headphones for mi ipod mainly, any advice is highly appreciated.

It depends on how much you may use them will in motion. I walked with mine and they only lasted a few months before something either in the cable or the jack had a circuit problem. Great sound though.

Given the nature of these headphones, they do not isolate noise. Meaning people near you might hear some of your music, and you will hear both your music and a bit of the environment around you (not the best for bus rides). Consequently, I would not recommend these for walking or going on the bus.

Yes, the HD205 is very light weight, and is perfect for iPods or iPhones etc. I would say the only negative is the extra long cord. I found myself needing to wrap the cord because it would get in the way. Other than that, they sound great and fit very snug. So for walking or any type of physical activity, they will not move around as you go.

You should really choose based on the music you listen to! These are great for electronic, hip hop, pop and sound pretty good with everything else. My only advice for your question is that they can be quite tight on larger heads, and don't stretch very well. If you have a larger head I would recommend something more comfortable because they can be a bit uncomfortable for longer use.

What's a Windows phone? :-)As an Apple fan just gigging you. Seriously though I have no idea, as everyone I have recommended these headphones to is an iPhone user

Scott,Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

I would say yes. I've never used mine for travel but I couldn't see why they wouldn't be great for it. They sound fantastic and the fact that they are very sturdy is a definite plus. You can feel free to wear them around your neck when not in use, as they're quite stylish in my opinion, or you could use the small bag that comes in the packaging to tote them around which I find very helpful and use regularly to store my sol republics. Lastly, the simple design that allows you to separate the head band from the actual driving units of each ear and the detachable cable makes them the most portable and space efficient over-the-ear headphones I've personally seen. Hope that helps. I would say yes. I've never used mine for travel but I couldn't see why they wouldn't be great for it. They sound fantastic and the fact that they are very sturdy is a definite plus.

yes they do work tho for travel i would suggest ear buds personally i use monster ncredible's. but these are the best sounding headphones i have ever owmed

To be honest, the long cord gets pretty annoying, and the control talk is only useful if you plan on using them with a phone. Which I personally would not do. I have actually seen people answer their phone with their beats on and proceed to talk like they are on a loud street corner with trains and all other sorts of noise happening when in reality they are standing at a quiet bus-stop in the morning yelling like they're insane. Noise cancelling headphones will do that when you can't hear yourself speak.So no, they really aren't worth it. Any other cord will do.

I know they I are the most comfortable and best sounding headphones i've ever ownd..The built in mic is a real plus. However I use them with a G s3. My friend has a nexus and they work well on his phone.

Well yes, but they have no special mic or anything, you would be able to use them but they wouldnt do anything fancy like normal Mac earphones. Like how the beats earbuds have a volume control that you can use with your ipod but these dont. They are very good headphones though and have been using them for a few days now :)

The bass on them is actually really awesome.. I noticed with mine that the cord that you plug into the headphone jack didn't last a super long time but I just use blue tooth and they are awesome.

I find them to be great for listening to music on both my iPad and iPhone. I considered the more expensive brands but found the Audio-Technica M30X perfect for my needs.

They are very good, sound good low, the only thing is that like bluetooth, sometimes the signal is cut, it happens with me mac, but with the iphone all well, well worth the price so you will receive, regards

Last month I tried them with an ipod and they worked great and the sound was good. I think the sound volume is only low when it works with the Innotab. But unfortunately the black ear piece covering continuosly fell off and one was lost. They just would not stay on. I personally am looking for a different pair. I hope this helps.

like others have said it kinda depends on your needs. Over the years I have had many pairs but have settled on the On Ear recently with the mic. Reasons are: I wanted portability fold into small package for travel, use with iPhone to take calls, control music while working out. They are very comfortable and sound great for the price. Hope this helps!

That is the reason I bought these headphones. They work great for riding. The combination of great sound plus the noise canceling buds make for an enjoyable long distance ride!

my question is whether these speakers work with any type of ipod? such as ipod 3rd generation or 4r that is the ipod nano 4gb and if you can connect to you through a cable other phone than ipod? and if the price is the correct for the speakers ? 26.00 $

yes very well....all of the current line of B&W; headphones are designed for mobile use...they have impedances that are matched specifically for ipod/iphone use. I have however switched out the rather stiff tips for the comply and while the included sounded great and weren't as bad for me as they are for others the comply are every bit as good sounding( some would say better...and yes a tad bit is true) but they are way more comfortable for my ears. The P-5 is also meant as a mobile headphone and is very very similar and also great with the Ipod...right now I probably use the p-5 a bit more than the c-5 unless I'm going to be very active. yes very well....all of the current line of B&W; headphones are designed for mobile use...they have impedances that are matched specifically for ipod/iphone use.

I avoid the iPod type designs. I have found Panasonic really good. Especially these.... http://www.panasonic.co.nz/products/accessories/headphones/rp-hje290guk/
