Earphone Advice?

Hey,

I was wondering could anyone help.

I despise with a passion the Apple earphones. They're sore when worn for prolonged periods of time.

I'd really like headphones in the style of these Sony ones:

However those have a built in mp3 player. Does anyone know if Sony sell any without the mp3 player - just the headphones?

I need new ones as the Apple ones are just plain annoying.

Thanks

Only thing I can think to hunt for is the overear clip ones:

Or, from Sennheiser:

Personally I keep losing/breaking decent earphones, so I've lately ended up just keep getting cheapo ones from ebay...

Thanks a lot for those suggestions.

I quite liked those because they're in-ear and won't leak sound to people I'm near and because they look very cool and typically Sony.

The iPod / iPhone ones are brutal and really need a redesign.

They're freebies, so don't expect miracles, consider them disposable. Mine are still wrapped up in the box, where they are staying!

The wife uses these http://uk.store.creative.com/product...=437&pid=14744 and is very happy with them.

She also has a pair of these http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.209-7699.aspx Which have nice sound but fall out

The Sennheisser ones are excellent. Been using the same pair every day for 4 years.
