iPod earbuds: highly fashionable but highly overrated
_Mr. Buduhan Cool Toys By Roland Buduhan on Tuesday, February 27, 2007

 

Those white iPod earbuds look cool, but there are many other headphones that can make your iPod sound much, much better.

 

Okay, you look around and see everyone walking around wearing those iPod earbuds.  They look so cool, but did you know that they are not the best things to use to listen to music?
