Thanks for that tip -- still one action too many for my taste, but given how easy it is to press the volume rocker, I can understand why.


My favourite in-ear style headphones are the JBLs I bought for my girlfriend. They sound amazing, and the cord is wrapped in cloth so it's both easy to unravel and super durable.

If I liked in-ears I'd have a pair for myself. I don't though -- I prefer the 'old-style' buds with the foamy covers because I actually like to be able to hear what's going on around me. Good ones seem to be hard to find anymore though, so I'm stuck with some old iPod buds... Anyone got any recommendations?
