"Y" cord style earphones

[bostonmarc]

First off, I searched but haven't found what I am looking for.

Anyone know any good quality Y style earphones? I have the sony ex51's which I like but I cannot stand the cord behind my neck. I am looking for earbuds preferably canal earphones with the classic cord. And no, they don't need to be white.

Thanks in advance
Marc

Only the Sonys have that behind the neck design, as far as I know. All the other canalphones talked about on here have a Y design.

Kauffee, you seem to be quite experienced in the department of earphones (looking at you sig). I'm thinking of getting the Sony EX71's because they're quite cheap and seem to be getting quite good reviews on here, would you recommend them?

The EX71 is sort of the 1st tier of upgrades. They're definitely a lot better than stock iPod buds, but they don't approach audiophile quality. They will give you some decent isolation, though.

If you only have $50 to spend and want some isolation, then they are really your best option (although the EX81 just came out), I'd think. Personally, I like the E888 better, but they won't give you any isolation. Obviously, if you can afford to buy something like a Shure E3c, I think that's a lot better.

Ok, I think i will probably go with them them. Not too sure about the EX81s because of the ear clip thingy, which im not to keen on. Thanks for the advice.
