Define x: iPod earbuds are rebranded x
Although I don't own an iPod, I would like to also check my mixes on the
same earbuds where they will probably get listened to the most. Presuming that iPod earbuds are off-the-shelf parts that Apple orders and rebrands, does anyone know what their native make and model are? TIA... -- As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll. -- Mick Shrimpton, "This Is Spinal Tap" |

As far as I know, all the actual earbuds out there are made in the same cluster of factories in Ningbo province. The thing is... you go to a factory, you tell them what you want... they provide samples... you approve them, and then they make them. So _nothing_ is really off the shelf, they are all kind of custom models. Note that there are a lot of places making in-ear plugs.... but the earbuds are very much a regional item. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I personally find them to be very uncomfortable and rather vile sounding. Those earbuds let in so much ambient noise that they are a major contributing factor in deafness. |

Or get a pair of skullcandys (not quite as common, though). |

Very interesting info on the production process, Scott. Looks like I'll necessarily have to get them through Apple at 29¤. Pretty hefty price, for what they are. And yes, I fully expect them to sound awful, which is exactly why I need to also check my mixes on them. -- As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll. -- Mick Shrimpton, "This Is Spinal Tap" |
