Let me start out saying, for MP3 player and IPOD headphones, I hate earbuds. They’re totally uncomfortable, the sound sucks and they fall out of my ears when jogging and working out. They also can possibly cause ear damage. For some reason most mp3 players include them for free and they usually always suck! Anyway, after a lot of research and going through several different sets of mp3 player headphones, I got the Koss PortaPro headphones and they’re to my ears what a young Sophia Loren is to my eyes!
