Smoking Buds


I'm a runner and I'm using these babies. Are the pricier ones worth it; maybe not to run with, but for hanging? thanks in advance, warren :)

wireless headphones: anybody out there have them? conceptually they are a great idea. Do they cut it sound-wise?
did you think I could wait 'til tomorrow? Much, much better. Bass, treble, the whole nine. thanks Grant..'night

BTW,(Thursday 'morn) The Shures still don't cut it for me. IMHO: $$ and sound: not worth it. When I return them I'll see if they have traditional head phones..
Kurt, if you don't understand the question, you don't understand....peace back at ya...
Lenny, I did some checking. Man, these are mighty pricey. But you're saying that they will do a $150 Nano justice? Mega justice? Blow my mind type justice? What is it about these babies that they get $1k for them? thanks in advance, warren :)
Grant, do you use yours with an Ipod or the like? So $250 is a justifiable (audiophilic) expense for the Nano? $250 is the list. I'd appreciate any info as to where to purchase. thanks in advance...warren :)
radar! now I get ya...they can be had brand spanking new for about $160. I Googled them...thanks for the tip..Target sells them, as well. I imagine I can return them if they don't cut it. Can't beat that...
I have the Nano. The "Smoking Buds" I use have nice bass. Better than the Shures, although they (the Buds) lack in the mids and treble compared with the Shure. I'll check to see if there is a sound profile setting or the like. I'll let you know, but it's EST, and I'm hitting the sack.
thanks Marco. Thinking back to my experiences running, I tend to concentrate on the music, rather than the sound. I am much more forgiving and tolerant of poor sound. Just the reality of not having any commercials, plus every song being a winner (since I chose them) is very cool. Grant, I appreciate the follow up information. warren
Purchased the Shure E3c. Not impressed. Poor bass. Highs and mids were nice, but not worth the price. At least while I'm running. Are there lightweight headphones that would work well with the Nano for home listening (not running) and the like?
I purchased them at Best Buy. They have a 30 day money back guarantee. What better way to check them out! I just can't imagine bass comensurate with regular headphones. Am I wrong in this thinking? What I'm using for running does me fine, but laying on the beach, back yard, that kind of thing: I was wondering whether head phones would be the better way to go? Does an Ipod have enough juice for headphones?
