Best earbuds for your iPod
Ultracompact earbud headphones make sense for listening to music on the go. But the ones that ship with most MP3 players, including the iPod, just don't pass muster. Upgrade to a pair of great-sounding earbuds; they're portable, pocketable, and enjoyable.

Review summary	If you're searching for reasonably priced premium earbuds, stop here and take a hard look at the Sony MDR-EX71SL headphones.	The Shure E3c is expensive, but if you're into the stealthy form factor of earbuds, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better-sounding pair.	Etymotic's ER-6 earbuds offer stellar sound quality.	These little earbuds have excellent sound and above-average noise-hushing capability.
