I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones. I want them to be very small, so I can stuff them in my jacket pocket. I like the little iPod style ones, for the most part, but I always have a slight problem with them, b/c it always falls out of my left ear, I think it's misshapen or something. I've seen similar versions that have a little plastic piece go over your hear to help them stay in place. I basically just want to avoid ones that cover the whole ear, or have a plastic band go over your head.

I also tend to break my headphones every so often, so I don't want those crazy little ones that cost like 100-400, something in the 20, 40, 50 dollar range.

Sennheiser MX500 are in ear dunno if they will stay in though, but are quite small earpieces. Probably around $40-50. Very good sound.

At least you're changing over /images/graemlins/smile.gif. iPod earbuds never fit in my ear anyway, but how anyone could spend $300+ and listen to their music on those pieces of crap is beyond me.

Sharp MD-33s for $39 (http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php?products_id=569)

www.headfi.org (http://www.headfi.org) is the 2+2 for headphones.
