Sick of Your Stock iPhone Earbuds? Try One of These

So, I'm sure you might be sick of me going on and on about how great the iPhone is, but let me just say, I've found something I don't like: the standard issue earbuds. Seriously, my ears are not that big, and without the assistance of the earbud covers (which are not included, by the way), these things won't stay in! Plus, the bass is practically non-existent, and don't get me started on the treble. The only thing I do like is the phone button that allows you to switch from music to phone with one tap, but it really doesn't make up for the poor sound quality. So after much searching, I've found some sweeter alternatives if you are having the same problems. Check them out in the slideshow!

I recommend earbuds by Etymotic Research. I received these as a gift last year, and I am ridiculously happy with them: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6i.aspx

I dunno about the iphone but I hated the buds that came with my shuffle, of course I hated my shuffle too.. but anyhow. I finally got a good mp3 player and I found Skullcandy - I got the smi=okin' buds and I have never looked back. Now I use them for everything, my eeePC, my MP3 player, even my desktop PC when I don't want to wake the kids... here: http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/smokinbuds-p-10.html?zenid=917c5f265882c1...

I don't like the standard iPhone/iPod earbuds either, they're uncomfortable and don't stay in.
I purchased the Griffin tunebuds as soon as i got the 3g.
Whenever i buy a new iPod i give the apple earphones to my husband, who doesn't mind them at all.
