    Good quality earbuds?

    Anyone know of good quality earbuds for my phone? I have heard good things about the skullcandy ink'd line as well as the Jbuds2 Premium line. I am not looking for super high quality, but just good solid ones. If you have any recommendations, let me know.

        Not particularly high quality (though the sound is fine), but I recently purchased some ergomonic earbuds which are, hands down, the most comfortable earbuds i've ever worn. They are similar (though not identical) to these:



        They are the first earbuds i've worn that were 100% comfortable and feel like they were molded from my ear. Also, they stay in perfectly while running. I don't think I'll ever go back to normal ear buds.

            Egads...I am embarrassed. I just did a search (which I usually do but didn't when I started a new thread) and found that one. DDD was all over that one.

              there is definitely a thread on this topic (not started by me). I went with the overwhelming majority rec on this one and purchased Shure. And basically they are rad.

              However, if you want them for the gym, running, sexual intercourse, etc.....don't drop coin for the Shures because they will get all sweaty. Just go with skullcandy or some other brand.

                In your search for earbuds, you have discovered common ground shared between you and the Triple Dad. You guys should build on that.

                    Do any other earbuds have iphone functionality (a button that lets you stop the ipod, answer calls, have a mic to talk into, etc.?)

                    I'm on probably my 6th pair of apple earbuds in less than 2 years, and am in need of a 7th. They replace them for free every time, but at some point it'd be nice for them to just work.

                      Yes. Sony makes a pair that are passably decent, and won't stop functioning if you decide to fill them with sweat (which is what happened when I ran fifteen miles with my Shures).

                        I have those ear buds and have been very satisfied.
