Another uneducated responses. I spent $30 on a sony replacement and they sound like absolute crap on my shuffle (And this was highly touted best headphones for its price range).
Keep in mind, the shuffle headphones are designed directly to match the iPod so they sound good together. Unless you plan on shelling out extravagant $$ for headphones, getting the factory replacement is far better than a crappy ass third party brands that'd sound like ass.
Come on ATOT, I thought you were better than this. Nothing but trolling?
I'm guessing your talking about Sony Fontopias, right? I had a pair before moving on to Shure E2C, and then E4C (the extravagant phones you speak of) and they sounded fine on my 4G U2 iPod, my computer, etc. The problem isn't the headphones, it's the source. Shuffles probably have a weak as balls amp. The pack-in headphones aren't 'designed directly to match the iPod so they sound good together', they're crappy low resistance/impedance headphones that sound good with a weak source. Sounds like someone complaining that race fuel isn't doing any good in their Pinto.

More like he's saying that you might not get all the benefits of a better headphone since the shuffle sounds pretty crappy even on a good day. I find it really hard to believe that any decent low impedance headphone is going to sound worse on a shuffle. You'd have to favor hissing and anemic sound for that to be true.

Uh, no. I proved the point that Apple includes cheap headphones that fit a cheap amp. 15 dollar Sennheiser earphones sound better. Troll/textbook Apple fanboy.

Wow, way to make this personal. I'm actually trying to help. You're the one pissing and moaning that the cheap pack-in headphones stopped working. I've already pointed out where you can buy new ones if you so desire, and now I'll point out where iLounge, popular iPod fanboy gathering as well as invaluable resource, praise every iteration of those Sonys you so dislike.

THE. FACK. are you talking about? I don't even own those Fantopia-whatever headphones.
Your presumptious ass have been doing nothing but ASSUMING in blind anti-Applie fanboi-ism. I'm not an apple fanboy like you ASSUMED and I don't own those earphones like you ASSUMED.

Who the fvck made it personal first???? You would make a fine trashy politian.
