Cool My 4,000th post; Need new earbuds for my nano

UPDATE: Just got a replacement set free from Apple

The earbuds for my Apple ipod nano just broke, so I need a new set.

I'm looking for recommendations for a better sounding replacement set of earbuds. I don't want to pay > $50.00 if I can help it. I use my nano 100% at the gym, so something that stays securely in place would be the key selling point for me.

Thanks in advance!

SuperGreg

Don't know if this is worth it, but with the announcement of the new "5.5"G ipods and new Nano - Apple announced they are including new, revised earphones.

You may want to merely get these new replacements. They say they fit better and have much better sounds and bass.

That's it? No words of wisdom, encouragement, terms of endearment walks down memory lane.

Confetti everywhere. Woo woot.
What was I expecting - you don't like birthdays either.

I would get sony ex-81 earphones....they go in the ear, very comfortable and they won't fall off. Much better sounding than the earbuds that come with the iPods. That is what I use unless I am on the airplane, then I use my Bose quiet comfort (noise reducing) headphones.

These actually look pretty good Charles, thanks. LINK

In addition, it looks like Buy.com has for $35.62 including shipping, or better yet Newegg.com has for $35.98 w/shipping

Perhaps those words of wisdom are embeded in the new Avatar.

Forget it, thanks anyway...

I just checked, and I was still under warranty, so I just ran down to the Apple store and got a free set

They gave me a free set. I saw this new set at the Apple store. Same exact shape, just a different screen and probably different innards. Price was $29.00,
