0 Upgrading Your Headphones

Many pieces of portable equipment on offer today come with their own headphones as standard. But that is exactly what they are-standard! For a little extra spending the sound quality can be improved tremendously. Many ipods and mp3 players come with the ear-bud type headphones but for as little as $20 dollars you can get a clip-on style that fits over the ear much like a pair of spectacles.

Design has improved of late and the earpiece does tend to stay where it was supposed to stay. For something that looks a little more "cool" the style on the street is the "behind the head" style headphones. These became popular some time back and the improvement in sound justifies the price tag of about $50 for the better quality sets.

Beware though, not all of us have the same size head and trying it on for size is a must! Also, some of these are open style which means sounds can leak out and in. Be careful if you want to use them in quiet areas e.g.
libraries etc.

Then come the "fold down" portables. Less portable than the others mentioned here but still good quality sound. Some fold down flat and are great for packing but others fold into a ball like shape. These can prove difficult to carry around.

So for less than $50 - in some cases $20 - the sound from your equipment can be improved tremendously. If you really like music perhaps you should give this a try!
