Did they redesign the iPod earbuds?
The last pair I had, purchased in...probably Fall 06, were/are super uncomfortable for me and made my ears hurt bad. The ones I go with my Nano today are comfy, even though they look the same.

Hmmmm. Anyone know? :)

1. i just got a new ipod touch and the ear buds look huge, the other ones were already
too mig for my ear holes, i always buy different ear buds, i like the kind that are cone shaped and come with different sized cushion things.

2. I can't wear the iPod earbuds. They just don't work for me. They always fall out.
so I use the Sony earbuds that have the volume adjuster on the cord (a VERY handy feature that I love) and come with a handy wind-up carrying case, too. And then, to make it even better, I buy the little sponge earbud covers.

Since I listen to music when I workout, the sponge earbud covers help to keep them in my ears b/c otherwise, they'd be falling out constantly, which is incredibly annoying.

Aren't you simply FASCINATED to hear all this minutiae? heh. :D

5. I don't think so.
I recently bought a new iPod and the headphones were the terrible kind - hard and enormous earbuds that don't fit into my ears.

7. No idea
The four times my brother and I have gotten ipods since Nov. 2003 we've thrown the earbuds out asap always because they are absolute junk. :shrug:

8. They redesigned them slightly, I think.
I dunno though, I never used the stock earbuds really.
