 I just bought an older model of the Sony clip on ear buds (buds not phones). They are similare to these AS20J only they are an open ended clip rather than a loop
I have found them excellent in all ways
Initially they do feel different to non-clip phones or buds. But if you get them sitting comfortably you soon forget that and the beauty is that you don't feel them moving or falling out like you do with regular buds. The sound quality is also excellent. Plus <$50 is very reasonable. I recommend this sort of phones for anyone who uses their MP3 player actively especially running

It's got an LED panel on the top, backlight colours, and enough functions to make WOW and Crysis players happy. An impressive gaming keyboard

Looking like it's been plucked straight out of a sci-fi film, you're unlikely to find a gameboard with this much style
