I prefer ear buds, since they seem to be a bit more comfortable for all day wear and help with blocking out more of the ambient noise. I wear them almost 8 hours a day, so spending a decent amount isn’t too big of a concern. I’ve had suggestions for styles/brands all over the place, so I’m hoping for some personal experience recommendations. :number1 ---

And if no, why the fuck not. I’ve used the Sony Ericsson Blue-Tooth receiver in the past with great success. I’d just stream everything from the phone. Cheap too and you use any headphones you want with it. On top of that if you got headphones with a mic and iPhone control, it works for that too. Sony Ericsson MW600 ---

I was given a pair of Beatzzzzzz and although they sound okay, the quality is shit. They are less than a year old and already breaking. Jeff - I’ve heard really good things about those/brand in general. That might be the way I go. The problem with getting anything wireless is that I use them mostly on my work computer, so I don’t feel like dealing with syncing anything… just plug and play, haha. ---
