In my very humble but nolegeable opinion, you guys pay far too much for ear buds!
I grabbbed 4 paires of: Creative Earbud EP630 from Dell for less then $100. These little beauties come with 3 different sizes of silicone inserts that offer great noise cancelling capabilities. There so comfortable that I have actually fallen asleep with them on and had no pain baby! The cable is comprised of very softe rubber and does not crimp or twist. Sound quality is most excellent particularly on the bottom end. So go on and do yourself a big favour and check them out online at www.dell.com or, .ca You won't regret it!

I also have a pair of Bose "ear buds". I paid about one hundred dollars for them a couple of years ago. They have good high end, and great base. The only problem for me is that because of the unusual shape of the silicone ear pieces, and their position on the headphone, the only way I can really get a good sound is to physically hold both of them at a particular angle, and press them slightly down on the outside part of my ear. I'm using a brand new pair of Sony ear buds that I picked up for about eighty bucks this afternoon. They're the clearest-sounding ones yet. Happy New Year to all.
