I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks, and wanted some new headphones for my DS Lite. I've been using my iPod earbuds...which, as many of you know, suck. So what do you guys use on your DS's?

Just listened to a set of the Mac earbuds at the Apple store on Saturday, and yes, they're not great. They don't have a good range and are a bit tinny.

Not great for travel if you are looking for something really tiny, but at home I use Grado SR 60s:

For my Creative MP3 player I use these Koss KSC 75 phones. Cheap with very good range. Note that there are number of Koss phones that use these same drivers, so you can find a headband or earclip style that suits you:

If you wanna make an excuse to pick up a Starter or Travel kit, they come with very nice, very compact DS headphones. I can't really review their sound, but they do bring out a lot of the music and sound effects in their natural state. Still, without other reasons to get the Starter kit, 25 bucks is pretty absurd for good, compact headphones.

Koss Porta Pros, probably the best sounding portable headphones for under $50 dollars. They have that retro look, but that's to be expected seeing how they were designed in the 80's.

It can fold up to fit in its own pouch, so it's good for travel too. It's what id get if i were to get portable headphones, and not earbuds.

In my opinion--and I hate it thanks to the ipod image/style being shoved down our throats lol .. I have headphones and earbuds. I tend to use the headphpnes for my iPod (cuz the apple ones blew out in the first month. How nice??) and I have earbuds for my DS.. I played with the headphones and my headphones ARE better quality.. but for some reason it just doesn't LOOK nice.

Sigh.

Just my 2 cents!

Actually, I use the headphones that my daughter has for her Video Now, and they work great. I regularly see them for cheap at Target.
