what that is, is a connector to an cochlear implant, (a very advanced hearing aid) so, all my sound come through 100% and there cant be no distortions, or crackle, because it doesnt have any speakers
a cochlears best friend me thinks:p

To get this, u would need to have a cochlear implant, and if u are a person with no hearing problems, then u won have any use for it, but if u have a form of cochlear implant, just ask the hospital where u got ur implant from for a lead

These are my Bang and Olufsen A8 Earphones

I want to get some new ones, but I am torn between the V-Moda Vibes and the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5, but is it worth the extra $80 to go to the Super Fi 5 Pro Earphones? I am not sure if I should get the Ultimate Ears, but I have heard the V-Modas break fast.

I use the Bose in-ear phones...got the first gen but my dog chewed them a little last week so I have the latest gen. I still love em! Amazing sound, comfy, selectable sizes, and a nice case!

My dad uses QC2's and loves them, great sound in them also.

Wow... you wanna replace your A8's because of sound... Just in case, the UE will far outperforms the V-Moda's...

Bose makes terrible audio products... I suggest that if you want to replace your first gen Bose's you it with Sennheiers CX300 or something, Bose are just a nono....

Why do you want to replace your B&Os? Mine have lasted 6 years now...

If you're finding they lack bass, try using the foam pads which go with them.

That's not a very accurate statement. Bose is fine...just ridiculously overpriced. $2 Coby headphones from target..now those are terrible.

I have the apple in-ear headphones but I don't think in-ears are for me :S

First I thought the same thing. And it lastet a while--some hours--till I got used to them but now I can't live without.

They even help me when I want to sleep in a hotel that is not... let's say: completely quiet. I can have them on all night long listening to ambient sound while sleeping safely, calm and deep. With the right sound it's healing :) They shield almost all external noise. A complete new feeling. The iPhone's alarm clock will wake me up smoothly then through the headset.

And I got rid of all noise in airplanes, trains, subways and on the streets. Outstanding! Never thought that there are that many advantages.

I'm thinking of getting some Grados. either the sr60 or sr80. I don't like the thick wire though so im not sure.

I have the Bose QC3s right now and the noise cancelling is pretty useless and charging it is pretty annoying. sound seems quite muddy to, coming from Bose on ears.

I'm also picking up some Vmoda Vibes.
