My Ipod headphones have broken. Do I buy Apple ones or another brand entirely?

Question

The official headphones have lasted about 10 months. I was just wondering if there are a better make of headphones out there (preferably in white) that will last longer and are in the same price range?

Thanks

Answer 1

philips are only about $12, they dont last as long as 10 months i dont htink, but they have AMAZING quaility to me. they dont have that "fish-bowlish" sound

Answer 2

apple mine brake all the time

Answer 3

it soesnt matter i bought $5 head phones and they played way better and i still have them after 3 months my apple head phones never lasted that long ive had 3 from appel in the past

just buy cheap ones theres hardly any difference unless you want all those fancy one with surround sound and stuff

Answer 4

You can really use any kind of headphones. My Ipod headphones have broke a couple times, try a Phillips pair, mine have lasted for quite a while now. They range anywhere from 10-25$. Good luck!

Answer 5

The type of headphones don't matter, any ones will do but remember you get what you pay for so for quality go for a decent brand.

Answer 6

You can use any brands that have the mini headphone jack, however you get what you pay for in quality the BEST ones cost £75 to £99 but you get great quality and value around £40 to £55.

As for lasting it depends on how hard you handle them I've had apple one last from 6 months to 5 years (and still going)

I'd recommend choosing from:-

Bose

Shure ****

Apple (ear buds not standard)

Sennheiser

Avoid due to poor sound rsponse & Quality

Philips

JVC

Answer 7

Just go with apple.. they are the most reliable

Answer 8

my kids love the earphones by Skull Candy..they last about the same time as the apple ones, can be found anywhere.. but the skull candy ones come with 3 sets of ear buds to change out to get the best fit.. they are kind of cool  

Answer 9

Get some sennheiser ones, for about £15 you get white earbud ones and they are brilliant

Answer 10

My headphones broke too. There are similar headphones from sony in most stores and they are a lot cheaper than apple headphones.
