Hey Guys! I own an Apple iPod shuffle...recently the headphones supplied by apple stopped working...So now I want a new set of headphones. Original Apple Headphones cost around 1500 bucks while the shopkeeper offered me the HCL iBud for Rs.225, the price difference is huge...so which one should i take. I mean that iBud's come specifically for ipods but are they good enough??? How do they compare with original Apple headphones....?:???:


P.S- I am not an audiophile but i do like good sound quality!!!

Consider EP 630 for around 800/-. Middle path, I guess. :D

@shivanshtripathi, Nope. Don't buy that crap. They are lot lot worse than apple stock earphones.

If you want quality sound, choose among

1) Sony
2) Sennheiser
3) Philips
4) Creative
5) Panasonic

These are widely used brands in India.
