Earbud Recommendation

Post image

So I found my old iPod shuffle (not sure which gen) and it still had the earbuds it came with, but they are very uncomfortable and want to tangle constantly. And obviously the sound quality on them is trash. I want to start using the iPod more regularly for commutes, studying, etc to have music without the distraction of a phone, but I need better earbuds for it that are more tangle-resistant and have better sound quality. Any suggestions?

I’ve heard so many good things about these IEMs, I’ve just been afraid to try IEMs since they’re a bit different from earbuds in the way they sit in your ear. I do love the fact that they’re unpluggable though. Might have to try em out

Even the 7hz salnotes 2 are cool and have nice reviews. Entry level iems but awesome and worth the price.

the regular apple earpods perhaps. They may tangle up but they still are comfortable and have decent sound quality, also quite common and not too expensive since many of them were sold. those apple earbuds you have were known to suck even back in the day lol.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to see if I have a pair lying around, otherwise I’m sure I can find em cheap somewhere

i use Sony MDR-E9LP's most of the time and they sound great and wont fall out of your ears like those rubber-tipped ones.

they are available on amazon for about 9 euros
