Earbuds that are comfortable without foam?

[PurdueRy]

Basically, my sister would like new earbuds for her iPod nano because some part of the plastic is coming off. She said that she likes the ones that came with the iPod because theres no foam and they fit comfortably. I don't think she would like any type of canal phone so does anyone know of a good earbud that is comfortable without any foam?

I wish Apple would sell the standard ones the box in with the ipods. They don't unfortunately. I like them as well.

Aren't those them? I was just hoping there was something that sounded better but very similar in design

Could be them...looks like it. They never used to sell em. As for quality, I don't think standard earbuds can get much better. You'd have to use a more studio oriented set or some in the ear.

I don't know though, haven't used everything.

You really have to step up to in-ears for any audio quality improvement. If she's like most listeners though, the basic apple head phones do everything she needs anyway, and if she already likes them, they'd probably be the best replacement.

I got my dad and sister the Sennheiser CX-300's. I figure if they hate them they can go out and get any old $10 pair of earbuds.
