If you’re looking for replacement earphones for that iPod of yours – you should look over ExtremeTech’s roundup of sound isolating in-ear earphones. They look at the following earphones:

• Etymotic Research ER·6 Isolator
• Shure E3c
• Shure E4c
• Ultimate Ears super.fi 5EB
• Ultimate Ears super.fi 5Pro
• Koss The Plug

The final verdict?

If you’re on a tight budget, Etymotic Research’s ER6 Isolators are a great way to get into sound-isolating earphones and dramatically improve the sound output from your digital music player. If you can afford to spend a little more, we think Shure’s E3c delivers better sound in a more stylish package. On the high end, we really like the enhanced response of the Shure E4c.
