HeadPhones

i have used quite a lot headphones/earphones, well especially the cheap one :D. it was started i think when i got my first mp3 player when in ITS, Creative Muvo V100.

this mp3 player came with its own earphone, but i didn't like the fact that sometimes it is difficult to attach the earphone to my ear. sound was Ok, just not comfortable for my ears.

then i bought a pair of logitech playgear mod.it wraps around your neck (behind the neack headphone), so it is great when you wear hat, but it is uncomfortable if you want to rest your head. sound was Ok, but the problems were those rubber grey clips (that hold the headphone to your ears) would start to have some crack (just like if you have tyre then you leave it under the sun) overtimes, then splitted in two, the worst part was the plastic that wrap your neck, broken in to two pieces. and bye bye play gear mod.

i think after that logitech, i used philips earphone, something like this, but cheaper model i used.it was not comfortable to my ears, if you wear it too long, it will squeeze your ears.

then, i found a best affordable headphone, Senheisser PX100. it is simply the best, and still working until now (i've been keeping it around 5 years, and using it sometimes). great sound, good balance between bass and treble.
unfortunately, the sound insulation is not good, you have to turn up volume if you are in crowded or noisy place. and the ear pad is easily torn off. but it is considered cheap headphone for some, although i had to save money to buy it :D it was around 600.000 rupiah. and you have to know my monthly allowance was just around 500.000 rupiah :>

and then i used earphone from my sony K750,W950, Samsung i450.....

several months ago i bought a pair of Creative EP630

sounds quality is ok, but the cable is bad. the cable just peeled off near the jack. and bye bye EP630.

then i use iPhone earphone (c/w the iPhone).i think sound is good, but it is hard to attach the earphone to my ears, very uncomfortable.

so i decided to buy a new earphone, after i did quick research, i decided to buy a quite cheap, SGD 40, a pair of MP21 from Soundmagic, the black one.

Wow, the sound is great! good bass, good treble, very balance. and it acts as a handsfree also (got mike there). sound insulation? ofcourse, it is in-ear headphone.

so, i think i'm going to use the MP21 a lot.

(whoa, i used so many headphones.... oh, i think i still keep the Muvo V100, or at least the USB part not the battery part)
