Zune 30 Headphones

Jzune · 01-08-2008, 12:06 PM

I just wanna know if anyone else thinks the headphones that came with the 30 gig zunes are uncomfortable. I dont know if its my ears or what but they sometimes hurt me.

Did you put on the padding? I personally use the premium ones.

My headphones are beginning to separate at the boot attached to the jack, but they still work and I love em', they do occasionally feel awkward when I havent worn them in a while.

One of my earbuds fell right off on mine.

I tried using the little spongy things but those dont seem to help much. I think its just my ears. Im looking to get new ones but havent found any i like.

They are too big.

Are you guys crazy?
I love the zune 30 earphones. Perfect size/shape and I find the audio quality to be really good (mind you, I know next to nothing about music).

Unfortunately, they broke (wires started showing in several places) and I can't buy ANY zune accessories in Australia

They're good earbuds, but they put that strange bump along the edge that messes with the comfortability.

Trogdor · 01-08-2008, 04:35 PM

after the cord at the base of mine broke i bought panasonic earhook head phones and they never fall out, they're comfy, they sound good, and you can find them for about $6-$12

crazy8tiger · 01-08-2008, 07:04 PM

I think they're fine, I think my old Ipod earbuds are a little better but I don't have any problem with them.

scrizz · 01-09-2008, 10:52 AM

they fall off w/out the little pads

Jzune · 01-09-2008, 04:22 PM

Yeah i hate that little nipple thing on the edge. i think that makes it uncomfortable for some.

Mine are breaking at the base, I love them too, where can I get replacements for 6 bucks?

CookingDoggy · 01-12-2008, 09:49 PM

I actually really like mine. They weren't and aren't showing any wear. From the beginning I've had the little pads on them though. One piece of advice... never wear earbuds when running on a treadmill. They will NOT stay in your ears. My brother got me the premium earbuds for Christmas which are nice too, but in a different way. If you push them somewhat far into your ears, they block out noise and you can hear a little more base, but if they're loosly fitted, then you can't really hear any base. Well, there's my two cents.

Volpe Sinatra · 01-14-2008, 11:17 AM

Eh, I don't really like them. Mine, the wires started showing right under the little connector thingy, so I wrapped it with a little bit of electrical tape. They sound alright, but the damn things never stay in my ears. I'm looking into getting these really nice aluminum in-ear buds from.. hell if I remember the site. They're around $4-5, free shipping. They got pretty good reviews.

Saab, you can get a free replacement by calling MS.

In ear headphones are the way to go

penguinhalo · 01-16-2008, 09:29 PM

They hurt my ears so i bought headfones

killpineapple · 01-17-2008, 09:04 AM

i got an accessory kit from iSound when I got my Zune that contained earphones. I assumed the ones that came with the Zune just sucked. how would you say the Zune earphones compare to others? Has anyone else used the iSound ones?

Jzune · 01-17-2008, 09:34 AM

I got bluetooth headphones a while back but i only use them when i workout cus i dont like it when i accidentally pull out the plug.

LordAxicore · 01-19-2008, 12:16 PM

Is it weird that I like the Zune 30 original headphone over the Premium Zune headphones? I bought the Premium ones when my originals broke. But I really don't like the Premium one because I can't really get a good fit with any of the included foamy-thingies. They are constantly falling out of my ears. I want my Original headphones back!!!
