The Best iPhone Accessories - Turn it up
(Page 3 of 4 )
Sure, you could use the ear buds that come with your iPhone when and if you want to use your headphones to listen to music. Some people find them to be a little bit painful for long periods of listening. For an ear bud, you have to look for comfort, so look for a gummy model that will bend to your ears' shape and not hurt you.
My recommended gummy model is:
JVC HAF130P Portable Gummy Earbud Headphones
Manufacturer's information:
In-ear / Frequency Response: 16-20,000 Hz / 42-inch straight cord with gold-plated mini plug
JVC's Gummy Headphones let you enjoy your favorite music from your digital media player. The soft material covers the lightweight earbuds to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
What if you don't like ear buds?
Then it is time to look at over- or around-the-ear models. There are a lot of good models on the market, but for my cash, Skull Candy is the way to go. A good on- the-ear model is:
iCon Clip
Manufacturer's information:
The iCon Clip offers an alternative to the over-the-head version of the iCon/Recruit headphones. Not only does the Clip preserve your tight weave, it's downright comfy to wear.
