I only use my iPhone (recently got 5s, same SQ as the 5) as a portable source in summer when I travel light. It's usually paired with Future Sonics Atrio MG7 in-ears (Westore Tru-Fit Memory Foam Eartips for insane isolation) or Beyerdynamic T51p portable headphones which also have very good isolation. The in-ears are 32ohm and the t51p 60ohm.

In other seasons I tend to prefer using my Astell&Kern AK100 MKII as a source. The sound quality difference is worth the hassle of carrying around two devices. Sound stage opens up, detailing improves and the bass is more controlled. Highs are less harsh as well.

In the winter my only headphones of choice are my Ultrasone Pro 900's with ADL iHP-35 silver plated OCC copper aftermarket cable. They keep my ears warm =) impedance = 50ohm.

I used to use my iPhone 5 connected to the Theorem 720 DAC/AMP but it was too bulky for spring/summer where I don't wear a lot of clothing. Now the T720 is just collecting dust *sigh*.

Cheap Dollar Store earbuds. The EarPods that come with my iPhones don't fit and fall out. I needed cheapos without a mic for my iHear app.

Hey my son loves them. I got him a pair of Bose ear buds and he likes the SC better.

I wish the Apple EarPods fit my ears. They just won't stay in at all. I guess I have small ear canals or something. I need custom made like they do hearing aids.

Same here. Love them but they fall out if I'm sitting still.

I bought a bout a month ago the Sennheiser PMX 685i Adidas Sports and they sound pretty good, they stay perfectly on when I?m joggin or juming rope and I got them for 24$ on Amazon on a discount. The best part? I can answer phone calls, change songs, change volumen,everything!

I need a really good pair of over the ear headphones. I want to get a pair of the Beats wireless headphones.

Yes, I want a pair of the Beats wireless headphones as well. I wonder if the iPhone 6 will come with Apple earbuds or Beats earbuds?

Right now I'm using a pair of orange Bose SIE2i I bought for gym and weather conditions. They come with 3 different ear sizes and have a great sound. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1406903767.935284.jpg
