Sick of Your Stock iPhone Earbuds? Try One of These

Griffin 9410 TuneBuds Mobile

A favorite of mine (I ordered them last week) which seem to be great for the price. The TuneBuds come stocked with three different sized ear pads so you can find the right fit. Once you do, they stay in your ears quite nicely! Other positives include a durable wire, great microphone reception, and noise cancellation. The only negative seems to be overall sound quality — either too little or too much bass.

Priced at $40. Also available on Amazon.

I am amazed that the average ear-hole is that big. I am 5'10 and pretty much normal in most sizes etc. Except ear buds they simply do not stay in my ears I am tired of having to buy seperate ear buds that actually stay in my ears. Thanks for showing me some options.

Please don't post how much you like your ear buds unless you understand the problem. There are many great ear buds out there, but few fit those of us with small ears. For example, someone mentions the Sony ear-buds, will they are good if you have normal ears, not for those with small ears. I hate mine. The topic at hand is small ears, not normal ones.

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.

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=917c5f265882c1b6eb51de1bc43d7acb

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
