Apple's iPod continues to be the most popular MP3 player with consumers but it is still shipped with a cheap set of earphones. If you have tried to listen to music on them for any length of time you will know that they start to hurt after awhile. They also don't have too good a sound quality compared to more expensive earphones.
If you fly a lot in airplanes, you might have seen people using noise-canceling headphones. This type of headphone makes any trip more enjoyable as you don't have to listen to the constant droning of the airplane engines. They give you great sound quality too, but they are rather expensive. Most people just opt to use regular earphones with their iPod and this is whether they are flying or not.
If you do want to get a better pair of earphones, you need to figure out how much you are willing to spend. You also have to figure out what is most important to you: comfort or sound? To some people, the best sound is all that matters and they are seeking earphones that give them that quality. To others, they might be willing to sacrifice a little sound quality if they could find earphones that feel exactly right in their ears. Finding that perfect set of earphones though, might be difficult.
If you are looking for the very best earphones on the market, be prepared to shell out quite a lot of money. Earphones for your mp3 player seem to run from about $20 all the way up to $400 or so now days which is an incredibly big spread.
For the everyday person, the best choice of earphones is probably ones that cost between $20 and $100. For that price, you can get a pair that gives you a good sound quality as well as the comfort you desire. Unfortunately, many earphones come wrapped in a strong plastic packaging and there might be no way to try them first. This might present a problem if you are trying to find ones that you think will be comfortable.
