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.


This is what I ordered:

I'm a little weary of these ear plugs that go into deep in to the ear canal.
There has been some media coverage on potential damage to the ear due to
decibel level.
http://www.4hearingloss.com/archives...el_danger.html. I'd be
careful not to play the Ipod too loud. The reason I chose regular
lightweight studio headphones is because when I'm in a crowd, I want to
drown out the crowd noise and play music (or podcast) at an acceptable level
that won't hurt my ear. It's almost impossible to do that with ear plugs.
