Default Where to get good earbuds?

My iPhone earbuds are just about done. I want to get a good pair. Any ideas? It should have a microphone as well.

I was all stoked to recommend my ear buds to you but then I read that you want them to have a microphone as well. Therefore, I am no of assistance to you.

However, if anyone wants decent/cheap earbuds, I highly recommend the JVC HA-FX66 in-ear buds.

They are cheap enough and widely available so that if you wreck them, you won't care. I have weird shaped ears and have problems finding nice fitting buds but these are quite comfortable and come with a number of different sized pieces to help fit your ear properly. The sound is pretty good; good enough for riding on the bus or working out.

I like these (they are just the upgraded version of the earbuds that come with the phone. They have the same remote/microphone functionality.

I picked up the upgraded iPhone earbuds last weekend, sound quality is amazing. According to the people I call with them, my mic sounds much more clear as well.

These things are over-priced pieces of garbage. Mine broke after 6 months and the replacements in 2 months.

Go to Axe Music and pick up a pair of Sennheisers.

Hmm ... nope! I've had mine since they came out and they've stood up better than most I've owned.

Have a link for product info? I'm always interested in the earbud/mic combo.
