Item 1 - Etymotic hf2 headset and earphones



For me, earphones are an essential item. The packaged iPhone earphones are seriously lacking. The sound quality they produce is rubbish and they don't sit in your ear very comfortably. But, they do have 'controls' on the cable so you can pause, play music etc or take calls when on the move. So while researching replacement earphones, I was only looking for ones that had similar or better controls. Surprisingly there are not that many options, well, good options. I found Etymotic and a selection of their earphones. The hf2's have similar controls to the bog standard iPhone ones but much much better quality and noise reducing. At £90 they are not cheap, but I have to say, pretty darn good sound quality. For an extra £100, they will custom make the 'bud' based on the shape of your ear. Now I have them, they are always packed in the bag.
