Replacement earphones for IPhone needed

ney · 16-07-2012, 21:42

My sister is looking for replacement earphones for her Iphone but dont want to be spending a lot on them. They have to come with a line mic like the Iphone earphones that came with her Iphone. Shes not to keen on usiung Ebey if she can help it. I have looked on Amazon but I dont know if to buy from an Amazoin market seller or not. Any Ideas where she may get earphones.

Is this a replacement because the old ones no longer work or a replacement as she does not like the Apple ones?

If she s looking for better more comfortable earphones try these Sony ones http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004MPQ80K for £17.25

Those things are horrendous you would think Apple would supply a decent pair of earphones considering the price premium.

If the OP wants a direct replacement for the ones that come with the iPhone then those are the ones. I bought a set recently and they work fine. I'm not a music purist, I just want something that works when I'm out on a run and lets Siri function when I want to change to a different playlist and these do the job perfectly.

Also dont forget if they are under a year old Apple will replace them for free with new ones. Provided you have the phone with you or a receipt...

Replacement as the old ones have become faulty. Here IPhone 3gs is about 12months old so is the earphones that came with it.

Depends what sort you want (in-ear, over-ear etc. etc.) and how little you want to spend.

Amazon and even Ebay is fine for stuff like this. Check the ratings for both the item and the seller. However they are available from other sources like Tesco or Argos, Play.com etc. online. But you'd probably get a better deal on Amazon. For example these Altec Lansing are £30 in Argos but probably cheaper elsewhere.

Those apple ear phones are dire, and leak noise like there's no tommrow. If somebody is "entertaining" you with music it is invariably those. Should be banned from public transport at the very least
