re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
i am currently on a ear-phone hunt for my iPT...
i liked the bundled set but just wanted smtn better..
so which are the good in-ear earphones out there???
should i go for the Creative EP 630's??
are there are any in ear earphones which have a inbuilt mic and aren't really costly ..??
it would be cool if i had a good mic on my new earphones as i could still use all of my mic functions without going back to the supplied apple earphones..
also..
is there any way to customize your EQ on the iPT??

Well...... If you want an earplug with balanced output over all frequencies then try Phillips. There is a model specific to iPod in philips range SHE-9501 @999/-
check with philips site. They are even mentioning prices on their site now.
There are with mic options too in their range check them out.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
I don't like the output of EP-630 that much and I feel those are over-rated
Coming to Philips options.....
This is SHE-9501 (White)
*3.ly/YtAX
A short review of it from iLounge
*3.ly/6J6k
If you want black one ,model is SHE-9500
*3.ly/UpCv
Here are a few in-ear models from Philips
*3.ly/fVhp
Coming to ear plugs with mic, here is a model for iPhone which should work for ipod touch as well SHH-9756
*3.ly/3fca
Else just buy this add-on mic from Philips for just Rs.300,so that you can use any earplug with it

If you want just a mic then try this

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
here it is my view taking 1k-2k earphones in consideration
==========================================
soundmagic pl 30 out of 10
********************************
weight - 6.5
design - 7
looks - 6
amount of accessories - 9 considering its price
accessories quality - 7.5 again considering its price
sound - clarity in general good - 7
sound in terms of bass response - 6
thump - 6
cord quality - 6.5
wire noise - 6
noise cancellation - 6.5
burn-in requirement - yes more than 100 hrs
goods - good in its segment and comes with hell good accessories rest it looks different and has bass knob it gets slightly distort at very high
problem - bass knob may comes out very soon, warranty is depend on the seller can be a real issue as they may not exchange if anything happen say after few months
Philips SHE9550/ pics out of 10 available in 3 colours black and white
********************************
weight - 7.5
design - 7
looks - 7.5
amount of accessories - 5 just an armband and 2 earcup sets
accessories quality - 6.5 considering its price just ok
sound - clarity in general good - 7.5
sound in terms of bass response - 8 its damm too much
thump - 8
cord quality - 7
wire noise - 7
noise cancellation - 7.5
burn-in requirement - yes more than 100 hrs
goods - really good to listen its damm good in few departments especially in the low mids dont believe philips made this baby
problem - less accessories
in the end i may rate philips little high not the soundmagic (may do it after burn-in only a little ) but philips my choice. one should get soundmagic pl30 once in life and never look at pl11 anyday.

Regarding SHE 9551 @ Rs.1150 you mentioned, it looks good and believe me,the cable winder is quite useful and saves you from wire clutter. But the only downside that I see is 8.5mm driver , which is 10mm in case of SHE 9501, I would pick SHE 9551 for that 150 extra for cable winder.
That mic only accessory wouldn't increase the wire length if you are using a philips earplugs since they come with split cable. So all you do is remove that extension and attach the mic extension so the length remains almost the same. If you are using Philips earplugs with split cables that is.
*www.ilounge.com/assets/images/reviews_philips/she9501/4.jpg
Notice the split cable here.......So you just replace it with mic extension that's it no lengthy wire
SHE-9501 @Rs.999 with 1yr warranty buddy. Donno the cost outside. Even I bought it for the same price from TMC store.

Yep, I tried them once when my friend was using it with his iPhone and they sounded very good. Felt like they sounded better than my SHE 9501, again very very balanced over all frequencies, which I noticed with Philips earplugs. Don't remember the price he bought for. But here is a link from Apple store.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
well does the SHE 9551 have a split cable??
i am most probably going for SHE 9551 bcz of the bigger driver..
but i dont like the asymmetrical wire as i have always liked the symmetrical one better..
IMO SHE 9551 are going to be really bassy..
also can i buy the cable winder as an optional accessory??
also what about the Soundmagic earphones??
how do they compare with the Philips offerings??
should i consider em??

You can't buy the cable winder as optional accessory coz they are model specific and they don't sell them seperately.
No, SHE 9551 doesn't come with split cables, but the cable winder makes it much easier coz you can choose how much length you want and the remaining winds up either way.
No idea about soundmagic ones
But check these listed on Lynx

Here are other options

Regarding the xpress music model, skip it. It is almost same as 9551.

Only the Nokia Mic accessory comes with 2.5 - 3.5
. Check the listing correctly, there is a drop down menu which says some RS.XXX extra for every earphone + amp bundle.
Yep 3.5 - 3.5,

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
Try if some one has it before you go for one, IMO that is not such a big worry
Do post your review after getting SHE 9501
Ya it has to go over the neck, but I like this better than the symmetrical one.I feel comfortable with this than a normal symmetrical one, like .... I don't feel the weight of the cable dragging it out of ears, which I feel in symmetric design and so it's more comfortable for me. Some people like it the opposite way, So Finally it comes down to personal choice
