Coming from a gamer background, the best earbuds I ever used were the ones from Icemat (now steelseries), theres the "Icemat Siberia InEar Headphones, but I'm not sure if they produce those anymore. You can find it on newegg and ebay, but not the company site

I like using ear buds because it feel like im wearing ear muffs while I listen music. Using ear usually drowns out the other sounds like everything but the music. I used to buy aiwa ear buds all the time.

No, I don't use it either. I don't even use headphones very often. I concern about my ear health. If you use headphones too much (not to mention earbuds), I am afraid you will end up using hearing aids for the rest of your life.

I have Sennheiser in ear buds. The silicon ear pieces are comfortable, and using the smallest size they fit well and don't fall out. And no, I don't deafen myself because they eliminate enough sound from around me that I have beautiful, crystal clear sound at a very low volume.

That sounds great. Though, I read on another thread here that after using the ear buds to listen to music for awhile, you will get used to it and consider it softer than it really is, so you will turn up the volume.

I was using ear-buds from grade 6 until I graduated from college. I think this caused the problem with my left ear because it hurts a lot when I listen to loud music.

I already stopped using ear-buds but I use headphones occasionally, like when there is a storm and I can't hear the music or movie that I'm watching.

I have never liked earbuds or headphones. I don't want anything around my ears. It may be because as a child I had severe ear infections and everything bothered my ears.

Little funny things stuck in my ear are not all that impressive to me. Even though I just bought an iPhone and it comes with a pair, I am sure they will sit in the box for a long time to come. Headsets okay, earbuds no.

Well, it depends if you're talking the junk ones that come with your iPod or these !!!:

Again, you would best be served by these not using them in your digital player, unless you have a high end gapless, etc..... version that's capable of high-end reproduction. Yes there are some that do that.

I use earbuds when I'm moving about the house, cleaning or such, and at the gym because they are convenient and keep out some of the ambient surrounding noise.

Etymotic makes some really nice, COMFORTABLE earbuds at a decent price for the great sound they give.
