Question

Do the ear buds that come with the Ipod hurt your ears?
I want to buy an ipod but ive not had good experience with those ear bud things staying in my ears. Are there alternatives?

Answer

I bought an Ipod Nano and the earplugs that came with it hurt my ears. I bought some better ones separately that feel great and stay in. They have the foam on them that you squeeze down right before putting them in your ears. The foam then expands to fit your ear canal perfectly and snugly.
