I have the Gumy earbuds that are really uncomfortable and fall out after a couple of minutes. What is the best kind of earbuds/phones that are not really fancy and expensive. Thanks,

I think you might have to define fancy and expensive, given that the Gumy's are bottom-feeder status by any yardstick. Not trying to be insulting you understand, but defining a maximum budget will help crystalise your recommendations.

That's like asking what shoes fit u best... wish everybody feet are the same so we can give u a precise answer.

Etymotic ER6i is what often comes up and I recommend. Can't go wrong. They are "canal phones" which means you have to shove them in your ears like earplugs, which may feel weird at first, but once u get used to them, comfort for long wear and stay on. Under usd$100. Anything that apply pressure to my earlopes, like regular phones, I find them to be more uncomfortable.

I don't want anything that's $60! I'm not really sure how much earphones are supposed to cost, so I guess I want some under $15. I really don't care how fancy they are.

Can anyone just name a few brands under $15? That would be great help.
