david.atwell 290 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was wondering; could anyone recommend some good, extremely durable in-ear earphones, preferable reasonably cheap. A tall demand, I know, but I have a box full of broken earphones now. I like my JVC Gumy earphones. I've had a pair for almost a year; very good sound (pretty good bass, better than the iPod branded 'phones) and I can't break these things, despite tossing them around, dragging them on the ground, etc. And they only cost US$9.99 over here.

Crimson 4 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) ...wut? ...is this not possible? I've tried about 6 different pairs of earphones on the same iPod, and if I turn the headphone jack at a certain angle on each one, sound from one ear becomes distorted or nonexistent. Testing the same earphones on something else reveals no problems whatsoever. Edited April 17, 2010 by Crimson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pyrochild 351 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 ...is this not possible? I've tried about 6 different pairs of earphones on the same iPod, and if I turn the headphone jack at a certain angle on each one, sound from one ear becomes distorted or nonexistent. Testing the same earphones on something else reveals no problems whatsoever. The way you phrased it made it sound as if the iPod was causing the earbud to come out of only one ear But what you're saying now is totally possible. Some classic iPods have video out capability, so they use a 4-terminal jack as opposed to the 3-terminal that most stereo headphones are. And iPod touch supports a microphone, so again that uses a 4-terminal. They're supposed to work fine with standard stereo plugs, but ... it's not perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zwicky 7 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Any noticed the new Downloads link under the forum logo? As far I can tell it doesn't do anything at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sozo 22 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I believe Rick is either still testing or implementing the IP.Downloads module, or whatever it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImAnOwl? 0 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 why did chelsea throw away the premiership now they Have to win against the liverpool... which i know they do... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csm725 8 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yes, I too am in despair that they gave away the Spurs game 2-1. Unbelievable. The Manchester Derby was an un-deserved (1-0) win - as are most 1-0 wins. So much for a 4-point advantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImAnOwl? 0 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 and (i think) it was fletcher or scholes, who scored the goal in the 93rd Minute and my pal said that the 4th official on put 2 extra minutes.. tho chelsea should have won against tottenham, they even had history on their side...

You have to throw this fancy new forum in my face so I can spend over half an hour clicking around going "oooh" Thanks, Rick, I hope you crash your BMW. Also, nice forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
