...and now a word from our sponsor.

So, basically, everyone is so in love with their iPods that they can't bring themselves to state the obvious.

Those earbuds suck.

They don't sit in your ear well, have to be dangerously loud for you to hear anything, and I think a tin can could provide more bass.

At this point enters the best fourteen dollars you will ever spend. They sit in your ear and actually cancel out a good portion of the nails-on-chalkboard squeaky subway breaks. But, the sound, my god the sound! With the volume set to only 50% you still feel like you are in your living room listening to your home stereo. Everything sounds so much warmer, and bass is very well represented without the distortion and clipping from Apple's earbuds.

Kicking Apple's earbuds to the curb - it's a good thing.

I with you on the suckage of the Apple headphones.

Personally I use those cheap Sony clip over the ear headphones that you see most everyone wear.

They tend to blow out after about a year or so, but at $10 a pop, you just buy a new pair. Plus they come in cool colors.

I have orange.

Now if I have the room, or I'm going on a trip I bring my Grado S-60s. Can't beat em.

What kind of earphones came with the PSP?

They were pretty much iPod headphone clones. Even the remote input looked the same.

I honestly never tried them though. One, ear buds never stay in my ear, and two, I never really trust free headphones anyway.
