What earphones are you using on your MP3 players?

The ones that came with my iPod (minipods that stick in the edges
of the ear canal) aren't bad soundwise, but there are more
expensive little pods out there. Incredibly expensive, in some
case. Anyone purchased any reasonably price little earphones for
their players that actually go partially in the ear canal and are
comfy?

Thanks.
I use a Sennheiser studio headphones. I can't stand these little
ear plug thingies that kink around.
I have a couple of pair of good headphones for home use and to use
on airplanes, and such. I'm looking for a better pair of earpods
for use in downtown DC and other places where wearing full
headphones is a bit much. I ordered a pair today...not expensive.
We'll see how they are.
Downtown DC? As in, walking around the streets listening to music?
Sure.

Aren't you the guy who was worried about hiking where there were
dangerous animals? Don't you want all your senses available to you
when you're around the MOST dangerous ones?


I've been walking around downtown DC since the early 1970s, all over the
city. I've never had the slightest problem in the city, and I sometimes
visit sites in pretty rough neighborhoods.
Harry,
I would not worry about walking around DC, but you still are more likely
to be attacked in DC, then in SV.

I would walk around anywhere between Pennsylvania Ave, Independence Ave,
1st Street and 23rd Street anytime of day or night. Other than that, I'd
stay away from downtown after dark.

But, some folks are more brave than I.
