Better earphones? I don't know about anyone else but the earphones that came with this hurt. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some that are more comfortable? Maybe smaller?

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to.Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better.

I second that I am a loyal Skullcandy customer and these are the best headphones I've found yet, and there cheap too.

I was able to purchase skull candy earphones for $12 at Marshalls. Check the store out they sell good quality earphones at cheap prices.

I love my Klipsh S4 earbuds. Far superior comfort and sound compared to ipod stock earphones. Cost about $80, but you wont believe the difference in sound. Especially bass.

I have little ears so the ipod earbuds never fit in my ears. To add to this, my ear canals are different sizes. I have had good luck with the Skullcandy brand (approx $22). They come with 3 different ear pieces so you can customize your fit. They are also pretty noise-canceling, but not to the point where you can't hear what's going on around you (if you are biking or running). Also, some versions come with a volume control on the cord, so you don't have to fiddle around with the dial.

I've read that different cords change sound quality with headphones so that could very well be the issue. If you have any other cords maybe from a diff shure model you could try those out and check the difference between the two. There are cords you can buy for high end earphones upwards to $200

Bet you'll be happy you asked because I am a heavy sweater and I drowned my earphones a month ago. They broke cause of my sweat, so don't buy this one. I'm looking at the new Monster Freedom, but a little pricey. Good luck Carmen!

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

Just wanted to pass along that Amazon took back the opened package. Others I've listen to didn't sound anything like the crappy ones I received.Amazon has first rate customer service. I'm going to try a different pair from here. Any suggestions?

many thanks for your comments. I have tried it all and the sound quality for these earphones is much less than satisfactory given their price.

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

Idk I had huge problems with them and had to send them back twice! The pause button did not function at all and they "both" sounded horrid. Witch sucks cause I was expecting something just as good had headphones especially for the price. But to my shock they sounded Evan a lot cheaper than the Apple EarPods you can get for $20 idk if it was this weird batch I just happened to get or what but I certainly wouldn't go trying to get them again :/ hope this helps

You should return your headphones. Mine are alike on both sides. They sound great btw.

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.

I got mine on ebay. The bose ear buds are definetly more comfortable but they didn't stay in as well.

Am on the same boat. Kindly let me know if you find any answers by replying to this comment. Also looking for Sennheiser HD 598 Over-Ear Headphones . Have emailed customer care

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

Hi Carol: I bought these for my niece so I asked her your question and she said that she sleeps with them in her ears, but laying on your side with them in your ears is a little painful! I hope this helps...I would be more than happy to answer anymore questions that you may have. I know that she really likes these ear buds. I bought her a regular Bluetooth prior to this and she didn't like it at all.

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

I'll raise my hand here as well, I've also been through three pairs with the same issue and also love these earphones. Shure have been fantastic in replacing them for free under warranty. Sadly my most recent pair were lost on a flight, tempted to order these again but would love a pair that doesn't lose sound in one ear and stay in the ear when exercising. Any suggestions?
