iPod Republic

If you have gone tired of the classic white ipod earplugs, plainly worn them out, or just want to upgrade to new headphones with better sound and comfort, then you should continue reading.

There are many alternative headphones for ipod’s available in the market today, to be honest you can use pretty much whatever headphones or earplugs you would like as most are compatible with the ipod’s. Depending on what sound experience you are after, what shape of headphones/earplugs, and not to mention price tag, the choices are many. The following are some of our favourites and that I think gives you the best value for money. We have also given them our Republic Rating based on quality of sound and value for money.

£0 - £20 headphones

Creative Labs Earphones - These are actually pretty good quality for money. The sound isolation is not bad at all and they are quite comfortable for earplugs.

Republic Rating: 6/10

Price: Amazon UK £8.99

Sennheiser Ear Canal Headphones - Has a powerful bas driven sound. Available in 3 different sizes depending on your ear canal size. Good quality sound and great value for money.

Republic Rating: 7/10

Price: Amazon UK £11.99

Sennheiser PX100 Headphones - These collapsible open air headphones from sennheiser has a very impressive sound reproduction. However if you are using them for more than a trip around town then you might want to opt for some more rough headphones.

Republic Rating: 7/10

Price: Amazon UK £18.25

£21 to £50 headphones

Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones - For the price the noise cancelling ability of these headphones from Sony is excellent. Hear more of the music and less of the noise from around you. Block out a nagging boyfriend or girlfriend, the bus and the train when commuting, or the boss at work with these.

Price: Amazon UK £29.00

Koss Stereo Headphones - For the price this headset is perfect not only for your ipod but also for other activities as long as they do not require much running or jumping that is.

Above £50 headphones

Shure SE210 - The Shure SE210 delivers exactly what they say, comfortable to wear and with very good sound isolation. The SE210 include mini high-definition speakers and an insulating design to block out unwanted noise (up to 90% of surrounding noise is drowned out) and give you amazing sound quality and power.

Republic Rating: 8/10

Price: Amazon UK £64.99

BOSE earplugs - The epitomy of in ear headphones, these from Bose are one of my favourite so far. If you enjoy a good bass sound and prefer earplugs over headphones, then these should be your perfect companion for your ipod.

Price: Amazon UK £89.00

Koss Pro headphones - This is the little brother of the Bose headphones, but still good value for money and for a bit less money! Well worth the investment for the DJ amongst you, and perhaps not for the sportfanatic.

Republic Rating: 8/10

Price: Amazon UK £107.81

Bose Triport Headphones - The price of these headphones might sound ludiocrus, but once you have tried the deep and soulful sound of these Bose headphones you will never regret spending the money for the experience of music the way it should be heared.
