Yah, I hate them. I threw them in a drawer and bought some new Sony ones. Cost me $15 and they're not too bad either.

I did the same thing. I use Sony ones that has a cord that doesn't get tangled easily and they sound great... $11 at Target... think I even used a gift card I got from doing surveys.

I have oddly shaped ear canals or something--most earbuds hurt my ears. The white ones don't. Although I did notice that I have to rotate the left one alightly in my ear to get it to point the right way. Otherwise I don't seem to get full volume...

Huh? I've always thought they're really comfortable.

i'm fine with them... but when i'm working out or something i'll wear normal wraparound sony headphones... they hurt my ears more than anything though, because i have glasses and they squeeze my ears in towards my head against the arms of my glasses... it hurts after wearing them for a half hour

Heh. I picked up sennheiser Hd-492 's

Freaking huge, but sooooo comfy.

Those earbuds make me bleed ?

I can't stand them either. I still have the 20GB pair sealed in their pouch and will pprobably eBay them.

For me, the most comfortable design is the foldable Sony-style headbanded in-ear type.

Too bad they haven't gone as highend with those. (

A standard rule of thumb....

That has pretty much been true since the Jurassic era...

Well I quoted you because your sig is SO BIG! BY FAR the biggest I have seen!

And I laugh out loud to your comments...they make me bleed! they hurt so bad!

lol.

















i hate them too - pm me best recommendations under $25 that look cool.

Firstly, my sigs were some of the smallest, and were there before the new resize rule where you're now FORCED to have big sigs. ;)

I just changed some detail in my profile, and didn't even touch my sig pic, and that happened. (about 10 minutes ago)

As far as headphones go, I currently have Sony MDR-A34's which are NOT audiophile 'phones, but the best style for me. (they go for about $20)

yeah most monkey pictures I found on teh Intarweb were too girly or cute. I was gonna use the chimp with /\/\/\ teeth from The Family Guy(?) but somebody else already has that as their avatar. Gorilla just seemed more masculine. shrug

The ones that came with My Creative MUVO tx 256MB (which I bought and own) are weird, one length of the earphone is longer than the other.
