If you want stereo sound, an earpiece in each ear, I suggest you try the Anker Bluetooth earbuds. They are quite affordable at around $30 U.S. and have very good sound
They are like two small earpieces joined by a cord you can hang under your chin, around the back of your neck or across the top of your head. They have stabilizer hooks that go into that pocket in your ear to keep them in place and from falling out. You do not have to press them completely into the ear canal unless you want the best music. Leaving them a bit loose allows you to hear outside sound. The backs of each is magnetic so they will join when in storage. I hang them around the back of my neck and when not in use they dangle under my collar on my chest. If you are just talking or reading, you can only use one earpiece and leave the other hanging. I do like the LG Tone because they vibrate with an incoming call. This is much nicer practically than it sounds like a gimmick. I think they are closer to $100 US., but if you watch for specials you could probably find them around $50. Others here really like them. Battery life has not been an issue with even the cheapest Bluetooth. I have had quite a few. I can get a week from a charge on almost everything I have tried. The best!

Generally speaking, I like how they fit in my ears, the remote control feature, that they don't have to be charged, and, and this may sound funny, I like that they are either attached to my phone or the cord is long enough that I don't really lose them. However, I am forever untying knots in them as they get twisted in my purse or in my pockets. One coworker suggested getting a pair of headphone that has a cord wrapped in a heavier material that doesn't knot as easily. I've had some of these earphones in the past and they still do get twisted up. That means that the next logical step, unless I'm missing a good option out there, is to go with Bluetooth earphones of some sort. But my fear as a blind person is that I will lose them since I imagine them to be small. I do not want to be wearing them every hour I'm awake. I have visions of the thing falling off my head or off my desk or into the bottom of my purse. Can some of you alleviate my concerns and tell me what the experience is really like or what other options you've chosen to get rid of the forever tangling Apple earbuds? Secondarily, is it expected that you need to charge them each night? Confused in Colorado Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
