Di ba dapat what to listen for in earphones? Hehe. Try to audition different earphones. One type would sound good to your ears while others may not. Highly subjective. But to give you an idea on where to start, stay away from the cheap ones. They tend to break easily. Be on the lookout for expensive ones also that are not really good sounding.

One of my problems in buying earphones is that one often cannot audition them in stores. They are often either sealed, which means you have to buy it if you open the package. I have even had an experience in one store wherein they won't even let you touch the box unless you buy it. This makes shopping difficult because the main criteria for buying ear/head phones (sound, comfort) is highly subjective. No amount of reviews can actually determine if you will like it or not. I wish there was some way of letting customers try them out in the store.
