i used to like the earbud headphones....until i tried the ones that wrap around your ear. they stay in place more often; and are great for working out. never fall out. |

Why not get these then? - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-EX81...8&s=electronics
The main reason I say that is because of the actual earbud part, which on yours is plastic and hard, therefore making a tight seal that will keep out much of the outside noise impossible. The ones I linked above are the over-ear version (and I think slightly better version) of the ones that i linked in my first post in this thread. |

granted tho, it does depends on the actual ear size of a person. what may be a nice seal for you, could in fact be too small or big for someone else. but yeah, those you linked look nice too. |

| Shure E2C's , up real loud, on the train, listening to Xpander. PWND! They are the best headphones i've ever owned, almost too good for MP3. |

i use them more than i have before.
before, i did not like how they fell off my ears. But what i did to fix that is by looping the wires over my ears and insert both of them into each ear. Therefor, the buds don't fall and im able to have my usual "roomraves"
This technique works |

E2C's were the best i've ever had. got them for $75 at work. Quality and isolation is unsurpassable for that price.
However, after 2 months, the wiring split open on the left side and thena week later on the right side. I've always felt the "over and behind the ear" design put too much stress on the wiring. But lots of people praise its durability, so it must've just been my set. |

Both of those pairs of Sonys that I linked come with 3 different sizes of sleeves to make a better seal in your ears. |
