These Acoustibuds are sooooo neat and comfortable to use!!!

They fit nice and snug in my ears and don't fall out like my regular ear pieces do.

The sound quality is great too. The music from my MP3 player sounds more life like. I don't need the volume up as high, and it drowns out my co-workers around me!!!

Audio quality has a lot more to do with the precise way your earphones are positioned in your ears than you may realize. To get an idea of the impact earphone position has on sound quality, try the following test. Put your earphones in your ears and play one of your favorite songs. At first, hold the earphones so that they directly face each other with a slightly loose fit in each ear. Then, gradually rotate both earphones to point them down each ear canal. At the sames time, press the earphones gently up against your ear. The improvement in acoustics you hear is due to the mechanics of sound waves and how well they are contained (sound isolation) and channeled (sound impedance) inside your ear.

ACOUSTIBUDS® are engineered to improve your listening pleasure. Flexible Fins and a Twin Cone Core feature improve sound isolation and minimize unwanted sound impedance inside your ear. The flexible fins create multiple reflective sound barriers for superior sound isolation while they hold the earphone securely in position. This can help boost bass and conserve sound energy so your MP3 can be played at lower volumes while blocking outside noise. The twin cone core gradually channels the sound wave into the ear. The first cone guides the sound wave from the relatively large speaker to a transition point inside the ear. The second cone is shaped like a miniature megaphone to gradually transition the sound wave into the ear while directing it down the ear canal. By eliminating abrupt changes in area and direction along the path of the sound wave, improved high fidelity is achieved with enriched middle and upper range frequencies.

Burton Technologies has also come up with Acoustigrips.

This itty bitty device holds your wires in place so when you cram your MP3 player in your purse, the headphones don't get all twisted around and you spend a half hour each day untangling them!!!

ACOUSTIGRIP™ is an earphone cord management clip that attaches to the wires of your earphones. ACOUSTIGRIP™ is used to clip the earphone wires to a shirt or light weight jacket. This allows the consumer to perfectly set the wire slack so that the earphones do not tug on the ears with head movement or when the wire ‘swings’ during exercise activities. ACOUSTIGRIP™ can also act as a tether for earphones in the same way that “CROAKIES®” can be used to tether sunglasses. ACOUSTIGRIP™ is very small (smaller than a dime) so that it can remain attached on the wires and not get in the way. Three wire ‘receivers’ are provided to fit the most common wire sizes, such as those on the Apple earphones. The two wire receivers on the outside of the clip are for smaller wire pairs and the one wire receiver in the center can be used for a single larger wire. ACOUSTIGRIP™ clips are formed from a durable plastic material and can be readily “adjusted” with a coin and opened up if necessary to accept larger wire diameters.

I absolutely love my Acoustibuds, and wouldn't trade them for anything!!!
