As anyone who has read any of my previous mp3 related articles will know (if not, why not) my original quest was to find the best buy cheap mp3 players.
That, in fact, proved to be not as difficult as I initially imagined, as I managed to locate at least six great buys under $100, all of which did a great job in terms of features, sound quality and storage space (for the price, of course).
I enjoyed testing all of the mp3 players in question.
But, I do have a confession to make.
I tested each and every one of them using what you might call traditional hi-fi headphones, rather than with the in-ear earphones that are supplied as standard with most of the players.
The reason for this was very simple.
If I am trying to test mp3 players, then, by definition, I want to be able to listen to, and comment on, the sound quality of the cheap mp3 players under review.
Unfortunately, with the standard earphones supplied with the vast majority of mp3 players, this is no simple task, because of the (generally) extremely average overall performance of most of the earphones provided.
First and foremost, they are supposed to be in-ear phones, which, to me at least, would imply that the darned things should fit into your ears. Now, how many people do you know who have perfectly spherical ear holes?
Not many, I would guess.
Nor is it anything to do with size.
I myself am blessed with listening gear that was rejected by Disney staff tasked with casting Dumbo, on the grounds that no self respecting cartoon elephant would ever sport such preposterously large ears.
Still, these blasted things do not fit.
Nor is the quality of these standards phones up to much, either. On the odd occasion when they dont choose to pop out of your ears, so that you actually have a chance to listen, you probably wont like what you hear anyway!
Now, obviously these earphones are the bit of your mp3 'kit' that transmits the noise from your player into your ears, and thenceforth to the depths of your brain.
Thus, there is no more important element when listening to your mp3 player than the earphones.
I therefore scoured the market to come up with the best in cheaper mp3 earphones, and have listed my findings at http://BuyCheapMp3Player.info/earphones.
You may even be pleasantly surprised to know that my cheapest recommendation comes in at less than $20 brand new, and you can probably find them cheaper still by following the auction site link at the bottom of the webpage.
To summarize, if you are using the earphones that were supplied as standard when you bought your cheap mp3 player, then you are probably cheating yourself out of the full enjoyment of your music.
Far better to consider buying some after market, higher quality earphones, such as those listed on my site, so that you are at last able to appreciate just how good the sounds that you are listening to can truly be!
