So it doesn't matter how good your music player is if you don't have good ear buds or head phones when your out and about. With 3 kids and all having some sorta player (were a family of zunes & ipods) we go though quite a few different headsets. Its funny each child likes a different type and that includes myself and were very picky on what we like.
Wired.com just did a story on custom ear buds. Hummmm I had no idea they made custom ones but it makes sense. I then got to reading the article and holy moly those are expensive. Personally I think I'll pass on the custom ones but here is the article for your reading:

Well like I said I think those are a little to rich for my blood plus if I was to spend that much money on ear buds it best not have any cons to it.
So I'm curious what type of ear buds or head phones do you like to hear your tunes on? Brands and pictures are great.
I'm telling you if he likes ones that fit in the ears then try out the ones that my middle son and I . My sons choice is only $7.99 a pair - how can you beat that? I hear you about how they break them or loose them. No way in heck I would pay that for the custom ones. Like I said I have had the $40.00 skullcandy ones and I like my cheaper ones better and the sound is much better. I cant say how much I my earbuds - I guess I'm ultra picky with them.
Well my oldest likes the plain old ipod earbuds - he likes how they fit in his ears.
My youngest one he likes the ones that clip over the ears. He doesn't like anything that fits in the ear itself - THESE are his favorite:
my middle son and I are the ultra picky ones. We like the earbuds that fit into the ear canal. I think we have tired about every brand out there looking for the perfect pair. We have tried skull candy and the jellies but we'll pass on those. We did find one brand that both of us swear up and down we love them. I couldn't find them in the store so we order them from frys.com and I have a few extra just in case - what brand do we like - PIXXO
Middle son likes THESE:
Me, I'm totally girly here with the pink earbuds that have gems in them (bonus my boys wont steal them) - I THESE:
if you check out the price of them too they are CHEAP - I like them so much more then my $40. skull candy ones (the sound is better too).
I have a pair of wireless ones like that and I use them from time to time. I think you do get better sound from them and they are better for your ears they say. I do know they drown out the background noise better. In the end your probably the smart one.
She Who Must Be Obeyed likes the kind that SM's youngest prefers; she wants nothing inside her ears. Me, I'm spoiled: Xmas of '07 she got me some Bose earbuds for my Nano; sweet.

Ya know I rarely listen to my iPod... so I'm not fussy about earpods, however son o' mine has gone thru his fair share, they just never seem to last..and while all of the ones that you mention sound fab, there's no way in heckers I would be paying that for them, I mean is it so hard to come up with a fair priced durable pair of ear pods? Is it?
