headphone or earphone recommendations for ipod

Oct 21, 2005 12:55PM PDT

I bought my wife an ipod shuffle for her birthday (yes i'm cheap but she loves it), the problem is the earbuds hurt and constantly need adjustment, solution is new headphones.

I'm looking for decent headphones that fit an ipod that cost less than $100, a lot less.

Does such an item exist?

best buy has all kinds of headphones. i got a pair of philips that were $20, and i think they're amazing. Sears has a pair of behind-the-head Sony style headphones which were $10.

There is nothing special about the earphone socket on the iPod. It is a standard connection.
As the last poster pointed out, there are dozens of headphones out there waiting for you
