Just purchased the Zune in-ear headphones.

I had a $50 gift card for Best Buy & they actually have them in there warehouse. I went there hoping to use the gift card as a partial-payment to an FM transmitter so I can use the damn Zune in my car finally..but no they said they havent received ANY Zune accessories in-store so I held off.

I almost bought a pair of Shure E2c's for $99..or maybe the Bose in-ear for $99. Still held off. I'm glad I did. I know they are cheap for in-ear headphones but anything is better than the ones that come bundled..

Any feedback on these? I next-day'd them so I should have them tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. w00t. Ended up costing me $4.30 after using the gift card.. Not bad!

seriously...good deal. I use the Creative Labs EP360 in-ear earphones and i love em...and they were only like 30 bucks...i reccomend those over the others

I'm actually content with the headphones that came with the Zune... I don't know about the Bose ones, but I'd assume you get what you pay for... However if you ever get a chance, try the Koss Plugs... Good bass and it blocks out all external noice rather well...

After purchasing the Apple In-Ear headphones back when I had an iPod, I told myself that I would never again purchase headphones that are made by the same company as the player. They really sucked. The only thing they did well was stay in my ear. I've been told that it's the same way with these. How do they sound? I bought the e2cs with my employee discount from Best Buy; came out to like $52. Yeah, the Shures are awesome.

those in-ear headphones are great! even when compared to my bose head phones(Not the in-ear ones, teh big ones). I would reccomend just getting the zune in-ear headphones. Everything is crystal clear!

I find that the headphones that came with the Zune are great. I have some better ones but I just use my zune ones because there is not too much difference and they are a bit smaller. I think they should make wifi headphones though.

I received them in the travel pack, and to be totally honest, they are awesome.

Totally worth the 40 bucks.

They fit perfectly and if not, they come with 3 different sizes of the rubber fitting part.
Also, they block out a hell of a lot of noise and the music is crystal clear and depending on how hard/far you push them in you get different arrays of bass response.
I'm VERY happy with mine, especially for in class use when people are sniveling loud fools!

They sound great. But I can't seem to keep them in my ear.. I think its entirely possible I have tard-ears or something.. I have heard this complaint all over that in-ear headphones are hit or miss just because for some people they feel terrible..and some people they stay in and feel perfect. They don't for me..

At least I didn't waste $40?

[JeremyMiller]

That sucks man. I imagine you tried all sizes of pads, right?

[GEN3RIC]

Correct. I could get them to stay in the ear but it was slightly painful and they would pop out if there was any tension on the line or if I ran. Basically, they are useless unless I am completely motionless..

I have the Zune Premiums and they are very much comparible to the Bose in ears. The sound the premiums have is awsome crystal clear and very powerfull. The bass maintains at high db levels which i love, and the good thing is that if they dont fit right you have to other choices rather than just having a default set.

These are worth the money if you have it

you actually have to stick them in your ear as far as they will comfortably go rather than the normal ear bud where you just place them in your earlobe.

I used to have the sennheiser cx 300's but they broke but i have the V-moda vibe ones on the way. i haven't tried them but they are supposed to be an audiophiles dream and damn they look good
