I know, I know, there are lots of threads on this issue but after reading many of them I'm very confused. I'm a new iPod Nano user. I bought my wife a 1gb Nano about 2 months ago and I just acquired a 2gb 2nd generation Nano for myself. The included earphones are of different diameters and neither are comfortable for either my wife or I. I recently got some JBL Reference 220 earbuds from my local Staples. They sound pretty good but what do I know? I have no experience with earbuds/earphones. We both want to get some earphones that are comfortable and have a pretty good sound. My budget is about $100 each. They need to have rubber/silicone adaptors for comfort.

I've been reading as many reviews as possible trying to determine which ones would best fit our needs. So far it looks like the V-moda earbuds are the kind of earbuds were looking for but we're open to other recommendations from those "in the know".

If any of you can recommend a set of earbuds up to $100 that are both comfortable and provide good sound it would be appreciated. Neither of us are true audiophiles so a reasonably good set of earbuds would suffice.

As well as the V-Moda Vibes (which are among my current favourites at this price point), you might consider the Sony EX90 (they are very comfortable, and stay in the ear very well, but don't sound quite as good). Other possibles at this price range include the Panasonic HJE70.

Thanks Jackonicko,
I appreciate your response. The V-Moda Vibes are on our list.
I haven't any experience with the Sony EX90 or Panasonic HJE70 but will now research those.

This is the kind of response that I wanted.

Thank you so much. It is appreciated.
