I brought a mp3 player today, a small one that is also a flash drive.
It has fm radio and a lot of other cool things to play with.

The damn ear buds headphones will not stay in my ears.

Anybody else have this problem.

I just stick with my regular headphones.

6. I am so behind the times this is my first mp3 player.
I like it because I can use it like regular flash drive for pictures.

I wonder who thought of ear buds anyway.

....Yea, I know. Kinda following the heard on this one, but it's just so damn nice, I couldn't resist. And for a player that nice, the headphones they include with it are crap- yep, they're earbuds as well.

14. I have been looking around at all the different players and I want one with
video.

This one was on sale for $30, and I can always use it as a flash drive later on.

I am always late on buying new toys like this.

Your iPod sounds nice.

17. Oh, replace them in the morning..
Even a $10 pair of cheap Sony earbuds will sound so much better. The ones that come with iPods are complete shit.

7. ear buds have crappy sound quality
if you're going for sound quality, the smaller the headphones the worse the quality

11. I just looked at mine and they are KOSS also.
Mine are a little old and have fallen apart a couple times, but I've epoxied them back together and they work great.

12. I bought mine at CompUSA,
The headphones were on sale, with an instant rebate.

I got them for less then half price.

The noise reduction makes big difference in the sound.

15. I had the same hassle with my iRiver mp3/fm earbuds
Then put some earjams on them, now they stay put.

18. I bought a different pair of earphones
each earpiece has a hook that hooks over the ear.

I could never get earbuds to stay in my ears.

19. I can only use the gel-type earbuds.
I guess I have oddly-shaped ears.

These might be better for you:

They're made by Phillips - model HE592
