Do you mean earbuds? That's what we call them in Canada - the 'ipod' things that jam into your ears. I keep a set in my purse for 'emergencies' but as far as regular use, 'earbuds' are terrible for your hearing. I think of them as 'waterboarding' for your ears. Headphones are the way to go unless you are jogging or something. I keep a pair of collapsible, noise canceling ones in my knitting bag and have others strategically placed throughout my house :biggrin: The noise canceling ones are great for on the airplane or if the air conditioner is grinding away, but they need good, fresh, strong batteries or you get a weird fuzzy sound.
