Earbuds. I hate earbuds.

They don't stay in your ear.

You have to crank 'em up load to hear them properly.

They really fall out when merely walking.

They're terrible when you're gettin' busy. One would think that other type of music would be preferable.

Mind you, they're easy to hide when driving...

2. I love earbuds.

I won't use any other kind of headphones. I think it depends on your ear shape/size though. I never have problems with them falling out, but I know people who have smaller ears who hate them because they don't fit right.

3. I hate that style

I have to have the type with the curled attachments which go around your ears to keep them in.

5. They are hard to fit correctly

I have some Koss earbuds that have foam that molds to your ear canal. They stay in pretty well. The ones that came with my IRiver don't stay in very well, though. I like ear buds because they tend to drwown out ambient noise better. I can't wear the type that goes over the ears because they are always too loose.

6. What's wrong with them? I think they're delicious!

You obviously have a very underdevloped palate. ;-)

7. Those look like the Sennheisers that came with my iRiver.

They sound great, but they become uncomfortable after 30 minutes or so.

I've heard good things about some Sony set that have silicone and the doohickies that hang around the ears. Sound great and much more comfortable for about $20 or $30.
