Jenni Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am looking for some new earphones and was hoping that you knowledgeable people would be able to help me.The main thing is that I need them to have some sort of cable management (eg- retractable cord)I would rather have in-ear style, possibly with loops over the ears.Ideally price should not exceed £50, but if I have to pay more to get what I want then I will.Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangraman Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Audio-Technica ATH-EQ77Audiocubes.com link. These are Japan-only and you'll need to import. Look up Singapore-based (and apparently an authorised Audio-Technica dealer) Bluetin.com as well... they allow a UK cheque/cash paying-in facility.

Jenni Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks bangraman, I will bare those in mind but i was hoping to find some 'ear bud' style, not 'clip on'.Any other ides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangraman Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 By the nature of your requirement, it's not really possible to design an in-ear phone which has internal cable management facilities. It's either the EQ77 or the Sony equivalent, or sometimes twisty cables for the moment I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks bangraman again I appreciate your comments I have had some time to look now and have found the kind of thing I'm looking for. Now the trouble is that they are all very cheap and I'm worried that they will sound terrible! Also most of them are white and I was hoping to avoid looking like I had an ipod!Please have a look and let me know your thoughts, thanks.Macally ($20)DLO Zip Kord Earbuds headphones with retractable cable.

bangraman Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ah... THOSE types. Totally forgot about that. I even have one like that (truly heinous). Sorry, can't help with any of those... although I'm reasonably confident most of them will be terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuge Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Jenni,I have seen those links which you have given here .All those doesn`t seems to be good.I think you need a headphone that you can carry easily ?Right It will better if you buy a headphone with a small carring case .
