earbuds

Also, if you're really that concerned about audio quality, you should be campaigning against earbuds.

Or you could go the in ear route from basic earbuds all the way up to $1000+ custom-fit professional in-ear monitors.

Incredible sound for $50, best earbuds I've ever had* and they block out outside noise well too.

While Bose is generally overpriced, these earbuds are the best I've found in the sub $100 range.

On another note, do you guys wear headphones/earbuds or use external speakers?

They had more bass at 2 than the earbuds had at 9.

I've used Bose earbuds for half a decade or more, and you can pry them from my cold dead hands.

If you happen to have earbuds in (so many people, these days) and then moving the phone around is annoying because of the cord.

You'd be amazed at the sound these earbuds can put out.

I've had Sony earbuds before them and they would only last about a year.

The only reason I don't do that is that my headphones are worth $1000+ and I wouldn't want to trade them for earbuds.

Standard Apple earbuds do not fit my ears.

Earbuds can do that; the audio "sounds" low to you, but you're only perceiving the delta between the device volume and environment noise.

All of these things that could be described as "earbuds" are junk.

I think earbuds / headphones are the internationally recognized sign for "head-down / do-not-disturb".

Earbuds today might be a little better, but they're still fighting the physics.

Earbuds that block sound, or over-the-ear headphones that block sound 2.
