Hi all!

Been using the Steelseries siberia V2 for about a year now, but I will be traveling overseas to study soon, and have gotten frustrated with headsets smashing my hair down. I have gathered a list of in-ear headphones that I am looking at, would be great for everyone to give some feedback!

Razer Moray+ (not really keen on this one, razer products don't last long imo)

Definitely not the iBeats. I own them, they don't do well with noise-cancelling at all, and of course, the common belief is that beats aren't worth their cost, it is just the brand and the 'fashion'to it.

I'm not sure about any of the other ones as I'm not familiar with "gaming earphones". But I find some good earphones would be Sennheiser CX-880 that I bought for my friend. It comes with a noise-cancellation thing, and Sennhesier also produces quality gaming headsets. Maybe you can give that a try.

I don't know about where to by things in singapore, but what do gaming companies do that are better headphones than soomething like this : http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=547

If you really want noise canceling iem's. Have a look at brands such as Westone, Shure, Ultimate Ears.

I have the westone um1 and westone 3, I love them.
btw they are more of the higher end earphones.

hmm, thanks for the advice guys. the westone ones Talk series TS-1 (http://www.westonemusicproducts.com/...series-t1.html) looks good.. Since I would want a mic together with the setup. Shure looks definitely out of my price range and logitech has a bunch so will really need to do alot more research before getting one :/

im wearing the tt esports isurus around my neck right now. theyre really good tbh, they have 3 levels of size, nice big drivers for a set of in ear headphones and good build quality. depending on what size ebud you use you can get great noise cancelling with them.

the mic is ok, but sometimes if its facing the wrong way it is hard for people to hear what your saying. but theyre cheap as anything, so id still consider them a great buy.

My only advice so far is to not buy any sony "ex" series. I have replaced 3 sets on warrenty in the last 6 months from one ear thats stops working and its driving me insane. I personally have never been impressed with the razer headphones, and the moray's look as tho they are rebranded something (they have the same design as my old creative labs, which is really clunky and stick a way out from your ear).

Those Tt's are quite cheap for an ear bud with a mic

I think I might give the westone buds a go next time after Goldie's post

Personally I can't go past the TDK EB250, they are like $15, completely noise cancelling, completely comfortable with silicon sleeces, nice bass boost so they sound like a good 2.1 system. I'm very picky about my sound quality and I love these. Had a pair for 2 years before I lost them, and they lived in the bottom of my bag, surviving being pulled out and chucked back back in on a daily basis.

I'm just going to come back and say that the best cheap headphones i ever owned were just some random in-ear things from AKG. The sound beat the pants off a pair of senns i got after them for double the price.
