Koss PATHFINDRW Lightweight Earbud Stereophone with In-line Volume Control - (WHITE)

I am a "lawn care technician" and I've tried a ton of earbuds. These are still working just fine as of today. Now, you should know that I mainly listen to podcasts on my iPod and for the spoken word, these work just fine. If you're getting them for listening to music, you may want to upgrade to a nicer set of buds. It just depends on how particular you are. For general listening to people talking, these are fine.
The one feature that I really like on these buds is the little volume control thingy. You can up or down the volume without digging your iPod out of your pocket every five minutes. That's just a real, real nice feature.

I have really small ears, and all other earbuds were always painful to wear. These do not hurt at all. I just roll the foam in my fingers like you would a foam earplug, insert, hold in place for a few seconds, and the foam expands to fit. It also comes with replacement foam pieces--the foam will eventually wear out and lose its springy-ness, but I find that takes months. This set also came with a pair of rubbery bud covers if you prefer that over the foam. They seem to be softer and more flexible than a typical bud cover but I still prefer the foam.

The other thing I love about these buds is the incredible bass sound--I've yet to use other buds that come close. I'm not the kind of person who will spend more than $20 on earbuds, and for the cost these are really impressive. One...Read more

The earbuds are easy to use and fit my ears very well. The sound is very good and the in line control is very helpful for quick volume changes. I highly reccommend this product.
