Philips SHS8100/28 Earhook Headphones

I bought these headphones out of sheer desperation while in Target, so I could listen to music on my iPhone while shopping (too many distractions, I am not what one would call a "people person"), and was shocked at more than a few features:

1. Comfort. I have always been skeptical of ear bud headphones, because all others hurt my ears after a short time. These, however, fit perfectly right out of the box. They do come with different size ear pieces (small, medium, large). The over-the-ear construction is flexible enough to allow for some movement, unlike the ear buds that come with the iPhone/iPod, so they are about a thousand times more comfortable - a huge plus in my book.

I have (cute) little ears. It has been expensive and painful hunting for headphones/earphones. I tried many many brands and models. For me, almost all in-the ear/earbuds cause terrible pain because they just will not fit without force. With models that offer size choices, the "small size" bud tips were too big for my ear canals.
