I swear by these little cheap and yet very efficient headphones. 5 stars for the price / quality ratio. Not specifically for iPod. Sony is in a perfectly accommodates. I bought the same brand ITE: disappointment. I bought a Philips 'The Stretch' closed helmet 10 times more expensive that does not give me exactly what I expected (it is not far away in comfort and isolation from outside noise is very good) Conclusion: I want a closed headphones with the same sound quality this little gem JVC Gummy Headphones ... However, a reproach shape memory the son. Once wrapped around your MP3, you keep some time annoying undulations for comfort but not in any way interfere with the sound quality. Otherwise the evening in bed, time supposed lawn where shearers and crazy drummers stopped their activities, it is happiness.
