I've used shure's $100 Sony, $50, and some really cheap ones. I like the inner ear buds because they block out sound without having to spend money on noise cancelation. To make sure you get a good fit, they often come in three sizes. for the money, the sonny buds were the best. They also had an extension cord you could unhook to make them shorter. _____ From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of louis scrivani Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 7:57 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Ear Buds Yes the convex part of the ear bud rest in the ear. the rounded part.
