For all the years that I've owned an iPod I've been obsessed with ensuring I have the white Apple headphones to 'complete the look'. However, I've have gotten through nearly twice as many pairs of those as I have ipods (six and three respectively) when I finally twigged that they were not up to the task of being bashed about in my handbag/pocket/college bag day in day out.
So after looking round a bit and being advised by friends, I decided to purchase the JVC Gumy headphones and I am so glad I did. They are fantastic. Incredibly comfy and a lot more hard wearing than my old ones. The sound quality on my old headphones was also very poor in comparison to these Gumy headphones. Finally, as for the looks - I'm glad I let go of the attachment to the white Apple headphones. The violet JVC Gumy are such a lovely colour of purple. I would highly recommend these headphones for your mp3 player.
