Headphones for iPhone

There are a lot of headphones out there, but if you are a true fan of high quality music and like to be in control of your sounds - you want the headphones to be durable enough to withstand everyday use, powerful enough to deliver undistorted sound and have that little volume control and answer buttons right there on the wire for quick and easy access.

Luckily for us, there are such headphones: iPhone / iPod headphones by apple with remote & microphone















The problem with these headphones, however is the short length of the cable and mediocre durability: the original pair I bought (for $29 back then) was broken after soem time, and the pair that came with the iPhone, didn't last long either, despite the care I took of it (well, basically I tortured them too much, but still - they should withstand everyday tortures, eh?)

So I suggest that you have a look at this piece by Phillips:

TheŠ½ offer amazing sound quality and come with built in microphone and remote control which works both with your Mac and iDevice. The cable is long enough and they are pretty durable. Also they have a benefit of not canceling outside noises, which is a great safety feature for walking / jogging in busy places.











Question of the day:
Q: Should one invest once in high quality headset ($500+) or use cheap versions (~$1) changing them once they break every week?
