Funny you mention this.

I have an iRiver mp3 player and buds are great, hwoever, the wires drive me insane sometimes. Always getting in the way and breaking ym focus.

I need some wireless buds.

I hated my old phone. Just hated it. I was leaving my parents house one day and it malfunctioned one too many times. I threw it on the ground. It didn't break. I got so mad I got in my car and pealed out on it in 1st and reverse. I then got out and bent over it while screaming at it that it was a piece of shit.
At that point I glanced to my left and saw my dad who watched the whole thing

Here is my story: About year ago when I first got my ipod I immediately realized that ipod headphone SUCK BAD after the fist day. They hurt, they don’t fit your ears right, when you sweat in the gym they pop out, and on top of it all they sound like shit. Well, a few days ago the left channel of my beloved Sony 71’s went out on me, so I called the manufacturer and found they were under warranty… So, I fedexed my broke set back and was told I could expect a new pair in about a week. Fine. Back to the gym with my old craptastic ipod headphones. One hour into workout as I am sweating profusely the foil screens get saturated, and the sound dies out, I remove them blow into them to clear the sweat, put them back in…. 10 minutes later… Repeat…. 10 minutes later… Repeat. . Now I begin to pace back and forth, rage sets in… I RIP the POS HEADPHONES out of the ipod and smash them on the floor with a dumbbell, then tie them in a knot aroud around one of the overhead pipes. I then finish my workout, and head straight to bestbuy to buy a pair of Sony in-ear headphones (even though I have a replacement for he old set on the way). Now I am happy….

If you own an ipod You will NEVER spend a better $30 in your life… get a pair… Even better get two.

They held up in the gym for about a year b4 something happened to them =] What I do is i take this little alligator clip and attach it to the cable just below where the pair off. It prevents the cable from pulling at all.

I bought those earbuds a year and a half ago, one of the best purchases I ever made. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first got them, the bass is great. They sound amazing for their size and price, and they've held up just fine even with all my sweat from the gym. You might need to take the rubber off and clean it every once in a while, but it's not a big hassle. I've had some gross buildup that was hurting the sound quality, but a wipedown with rubbing alcohol fixed it.
