Combo earbuds

I'm so glad that Daylight Saving Time has kicked in, because now in the evening I have time get some great sun and unwind. It's long been an after-work ritual of mine to have a beer, listen to my iPod, and enjoy the warmth of the sun on my face - I just love it! I usually listen to my iPod shuffle when I'm out and about, and I've finally found my "ultimate" earbud solution. I'm definitely not a headphone audiophile - I just want them to stay in my funny-shaped ear holes and sound good! I used to use my Sony MDR-EX71SL earbuds, but I hate the bizarre "cord on the side" design, especially the extension connector, which always weighs down the cord and yanks the bud out of my ear. So, I switched to the Apple In-Ear Headphones a while back, and I love their design. However, the rubber bud coverings had a tendency to pop out too much, even though the cord situation was good. Finally, I read somewhere that someone with the same problem took the Sony rubber coverings and put them on the Apple headphones, and I have been happy ever since! They really stay in great, and the Apple cord is super - it has a slider that keeps the buds together when you aren't wearing them. I've also become crazy about never wrapping my cord - I always fold it now. It really helps to keep it from getting wild!
