Better earphones? I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some that are more comfortable?

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to. Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

They look cool, but the sound was nothing different from other earphones in that price range. I have a mp3 and if I put the plug all the way in I can barely hear anything. I have to find a sweet spot in the middle for the earphones to work. I have small ears and the earphones does not fit in my ears properly. I am not saying that these problems are the results of the earphones. Hope this helps

These headphones would be better than your average headphones, but I think your best bet would be noise cancelling earbuds like the ones you can get with a samsung galaxy s3.

It depends on the type of earphone you have. If you have low impedance (resistance) phones which most of the affordable ones are you will be o. k. some higher resistance = higher priced may work but maybe not as loud as you want. Also computers and laptops differ in output strength. But go for it as it is affordable and the sound is immaculate.

I wish I could be of more help. I bought these headphones for my nephew for a Christmas present, so I won`nt know until he uses them. I read those reviews too and was somewhat dubious but we`ll find out after the holiday. I wish I could have been more help.

Unfortunately I have to agree. I have an original pair that's falling apart, so I bought these. First, they are painful if worn longer than 20 minutes. They sit flat on the ears, so a lot of sound is leaked, and the bass response is severely lacking unless you smash them against your head. I have the travel fiio headphone amp. THAT was a great purchase. Used it on a long flight - 14 hours and no problems. Worked the whole way back too.

More comfortable than a pair of Beats, I suppose, but....I'm not sure if I would advise sleeping on your side with something jammed into your ear in any set of circumstances...

As for me? No, my ears don't hurt during extended use. These are some of the best headphones I've owned. Seriously.

I was using a pair of Bose ear buds. I like these way better. They sound very good you will not be disappointed.

I found them quite uncomfortable after an hour. Something that guys around your ear is far better, that's what I have now. The noise cancelling function is a waste if time, I get a better result out of my current 'normal' headphones.

You should try the Radius Atomic Bass. They recieved better rating than the V-moda Vibe, Bose and Skullcandy from CNET and they only cost $39.99. The sound quality is fantastic and they also fit small ears and stay in your ear if you go running or jogging. They are also made out of aluminum body and reinforced joints so they can take alot of abuse. You will not be dissapointed with these earphones.

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....

Any earbud provides SOME noise isolation and some with tight-fitting eartips do better. Although I really like the JBuds sound and comfort (and the price!), the noise isolation doesn't seem any better than any other earbud set I've used. Some ear canals are harder to fit than others, though, so some of the sound leakage might be due to MY ear canals.

I can confirm and they are okay to use and install. I still wonder why we need to buy such an item for the 'best earphones in the field!' after only a year of use!
