I know we discussed earphones and the failings of earbuds in the last couple of days...what does ST think about the clip-on type...

Posted by MojaveMeg (aka Mojave) Sep 14 '10, 20:46

Daughter has some and says they work for her. I need something more than earbuds, but don't want to spend as much for them as I paid for the player.

Responses:

they seem to be the only ones that work for me. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 20:53
I've got these and they work really well (nmblink) - ralph wiggum Sep 14, 20:49 6
- Looks like they go for a little under $10 here. I shall check those out...thanks. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 14, 20:55
- mostly unrelated: I hate australian retail websites. they universally suck. -- nm - mafic Sep 14, 20:54 4
  - I hate Australian pricing of consumer goods. It's still set as if the USD/AUD exchange rate is down at $.55 cents. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 14, 20:59 3
    - I do most of my shopping in canada, where you get slightly less ripped off. -- nm - mafic Sep 14, 21:06
    - you need jeans? - bugsy Sep 14, 21:00 1
      - It's ok. I just stocked up on muu muus, so I'm set for a while. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 14, 21:02
how are earbuds faily? -- nm - bugsy Sep 14, 20:48 17
- I have to hold them in to hear anything at all. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 14, 20:56 1
  - i don't think i've ever used them at all - bugsy Sep 14, 20:58
- they won't stay in my ears for more than a minute. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 20:53
- For me, they can be annoying when running because they don't always stay put. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 14, 20:52 13
  - You're supposed to put them in your ears. -- nm - Dano Sep 14, 21:43
  - I was buying expensive one for awhile but they always broke. Bought some Nike over the ear clip buds that were really cheap & they work great. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 21:00
  - not that you need new ones, but I found the kind that have multiple size cushion thingies to work nicely for me. -- nm - b! Sep 14, 20:56 7
    - I got two pairs of those and they did not work. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 20:58 6
      - that's too bad. -- nm - b! Sep 14, 21:03 5
        
        my ear canal is curved. it's not a size thing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 21:04 4
        
        I saw some when I was searching that are moldable, like those squishy earplugs. - b! Sep 14, 21:08 3
        
        hmmm, maybe. I am kinda tired of buying ones that don't work (esp if they are spendy). - loosilu Sep 14, 21:14 2
        
        fortunately, there are a bunch of non-apple options that work with i-stuff. - b! Sep 14, 21:21 1
        
        I havent seen any other brand do it either. I wonder if there is a law against things you have to shove into your ear canal. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 21:23
  - Apple needs to redesign their earbuds, cuz God don't make no junk! -- nm - bugsy Sep 14, 20:55 1
    - if they were designed like my aids, they'd work great. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 21:00
  - not at all weird. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 20:53
