I need new ear buds.

I have an ipod, as do both of my sons. I still have the original ear buds (in ear headphones) that came with the ipod. I find that the foam that came with the original ear buds always seems to loosen and pop off, or just wear a little hole. The ear buds fit in my ears ok but could be a lot more comfortable. I recently decided that rather than get more foam pads I might as well try and find some ear buds that are more comfortable.

It was then that my husband pointed out that I should be careful what I got because I would want the same or better sound quality, not decreased sound quality. Well, that left me with a problem because stores don’t let you just open up all of the ear bud packages and try them on. So I went to my favorite place for information, the internet.

I somehow landed on the Wize site and started reading about bose in ear headphones. What I liked most about the site was that there were pictures of many models of ear buds, over 160 of them. Many of the models also featured reviews written by other consumers and experts, as well as a display of current pricing. I have more to read before I make a purchase but this site should help me out with the decision making process.

    From what I’ve heard, Skull Candy Headphones are supposed to be really nice.

    My problem is that my ear buds for my ipod are really uncomfortable…after awhile my ears start to hurt! I can’t really try on a whole bunch either and expect to return them..and you don’t know if they are comfortable until you wear them!

    Good luck to you…I know that Bose has a lot of quality products!

    Hi Jenn. That isn’t a dumb question. The dumb question is the unasked question.
    Are you using a blogrolling type of list or are all of your links typed individually into the wordpress blogroll in the dashboard?
    If you’re using a widget, just put your blogrolling code in THIS
    LEFTBRACKETdiv style=”height:250px; overflow:auto;”RIGHTBRACKET
    YOUR BLOGROLLING SCRIPT
    LEFTBRACKET/divRIGHTBRACKET

    HI, this will work for the PPP blogroll. i am using the wp blogroll on dashboard for the links I actually exchanged. I suppose there is nothing to do with that. Thanks for the code, I am going to use it! It worked well

    If your wp blogroll is done through code and not the widget you can still make a dropdown.
