Better earphones? I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some that are more comfortable?

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to. Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

Just look at the list at the bottom for these headphones, the "Users who bought this also bought..." list. Any of those tips will work great. I bought the super cheap memory foam ones that come in the three pack with three different sizes and they're awesome, link to those ones below. The comply tips are more expensive but considered higher quality, my friend bought those ones, and likes them as well. http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Medium-Eartips-earbuds-earphones/dp/B007BWCDYQ/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0D3SHEJ5FY31YCEH1NN5

I found them quite uncomfortable after an hour. Something that guys around your ear is far better, that's what I have now. The noise cancelling function is a waste if time, I get a better result out of my current 'normal' headphones.

Not really Sara. I'm in the same boat as you with small ear canals and they've been a bit disappointing. The sound quality is outstanding, but the ear buds are still a bit too big. I push them in and they wiggle out while creating a suction that hurts after a while. I've just switched to ear plugs that have a bracket fitting around my ears and they work a lot better and don't hurt. Good luck. Karen

I gave up quickly to be honest they were too narrow. No bass when using my iPhone. I returned them and bought a pair of ath-ad900x's :P

I think these are more of your normal sit and listen headphones. They are not particularly sporty for that use I think? I think if you want that, you might need ones that go stick inside your ears as opposed to cup over them.

Thanks, Billy, from me, too!I'm ready to replace my 1st gen Touch. (I'm slow.) I actually have $10 Sony earphones, and I use them with all my audio devices.

They look cool, but the sound was nothing different from other earphones in that price range. I have a mp3 and if I put the plug all the way in I can barely hear anything. I have to find a sweet spot in the middle for the earphones to work. I have small ears and the earphones does not fit in my ears properly. I am not saying that these problems are the results of the earphones. Hope this helps

Any standard MP3 headphones work fine. I wanted a little better sound and use a Bose Quiet Comfort headphone.

Sennheiser CX-300, far and away. Those Senns are probably the best you'll get under $50, however another contender would be the JVC Marshmellow which sounded better than my $120 Shure earbuds after a little tweak (can find instructions for that on head-fi, if you're interested).

Two words....Shure Earbuds, I have the low end ear buds and even they are pricey ($100) but they are WELL worth the price!

They're great at noise reduction, but I only have other in ear headphones as a point of reference, so I don't know they compare to something like bose.

You should try the Radius Atomic Bass. They recieved better rating than the V-moda Vibe, Bose and Skullcandy from CNET and they only cost $39.99. The sound quality is fantastic and they also fit small ears and stay in your ear if you go running or jogging. They are also made out of aluminum body and reinforced joints so they can take alot of abuse. You will not be dissapointed with these earphones.

I'd actually recommend these... amazon.com/Panasonic-RPHJE120K-In-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/B003EM8008/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1403270422&sr=1-1&keywords=earbuds

I was using a pair of Bose ear buds. I like these way better. They sound very good you will not be disappointed.

If you want noise isolation, look into sennheiser 280. They were too boomy for my tastes, and squeezed your brains out of your head.
