    Headphones for iPhone?

    Any recommendations from the panel?

    Must be able to use/control iPhone and so include a mic etc

    Don't mind if they're 'in ear' or 'cans' TBH

    Prefer not to spend over £100 if possible.


    TIA

    Budget shures (c£65) with the phone extension (costs extra - c£20 IIRC).

      I've been using http://v-moda.com/headphones/vibeduo.aspx headphones with my iphone for a few years now. So much so I bought another pair when the old ones failed after a couple of year of heavy use.

      Comfortable
      Excellent sounds quality

      Use a black coloured set so it does not look like I'm carrying a £500 music player waiting to be mugged.

        See my earlier post on iPhone accessories:

        I've tried tons of headphones:

        v-moda vibe duo - kept breaking, I got through 7 pairs before I gave up.
        Shure E3 - wouldn't stay sealed in my ear
        Apple's own in-ear - wouldn't stay sealed in my ear. I think the headphones that you have to seal into your ear canal either work for you or they don't.
        Bose in-ear headphones - kept falling out
        Sennheiser MM 50IP - on my 2nd pair now, they seem to be about the best out there but I'm still looking for something better.

        No-one has mastered the perfect pair of headphones - if I could, I'd have the actual buds from the Sennheisers, with the cord from the v-modas and the jack and controls from the Apple in-ear jobs.

        I'm going to try the Klipsch image S4i next. They have volume +/- on the clicker thing.

          I sent mine back to the manufacturer in hollywood - the sent me a free pair with a few accessories!

          7 pairs?! That's like a £1000!!!! Your mad!!!!

            I just kept sending them back - they were also pulled from the Apple store as they had issues with the build quality

            The ones I had were the previous model to those you linked to.
