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 had a couple pair of S4's and they sounded really great. The S3's aren't as good and the S6's are too bassy. Someone stole my S4's and I am upset about that. I'm thinking about springing for another replacement pair. They matched well throughout my Mastering process in the studio. Someone can steal my S3's. haha

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes). Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose). I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

I have the EXACT same problem. I use them on my laptop but the first thing I noticed was the hiss. I was shockingly disappointing and tried the other headphone outlet but to the same effect. Its just not one bud, but both, so I'm guessing its not like a damage issue.I'm not a sound blaster and usually have my music playing kinda low so the hiss is always noticeable.Right now I'm contacting Sennheiser about the issue.

JBuds J2 sound ok. To me it fills like your missing part of the sound with them. The bass isnt full and cant hear the hi hat on the drums. Im gonna try the V-MODA next to find some better earbuds

Earphones are great for daily use however if I were you I would go with a brand like Marshall. You can find some great earphone for less than 200.00.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

The earphones that come with it do suck. Mine lasted two weeks before I replaced them with some Sony in-ear buds. Not only are they more comfortable, but they tend to block out ambient noises.

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.

I basically liked these headphones, but for me they did become a little painful/pinching after 1-2 hours of wearing. However, if you look at the other reviews you'll find quite a spread of opinion on their comfortable level. It seems you have to try them for yourself.

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

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

I wish I could be of more help. I bought these headphones for my nephew for a Christmas present, so I won`nt know until he uses them. I read those reviews too and was somewhat dubious but we`ll find out after the holiday. I wish I could have been more help.

Are you kidding me? Everyone I've talked to says the earbuds are horrible. For 300 hundred dollars you think they could include the ac power adapter and some in ear buds. Its not much to ask. These things hurt your ears and are only comfortable if you only use them maybe an hour a day. Past that, severe pain.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed
